True Identity

Enchantment1 generic manaWhite mana

Disguise has always dealt in tempo and information: a hidden 2/2 with ward flipped for a surprise, at a moment of your choosing, with the whole value tied up in the timing of the reveal. This enchantment converts that mechanic into a currency it doesn't usually deal in, which is raw cards. The trigger reads any permanent you control turning face up, not just this one, so a deck stocked with morph and disguise creatures turns every reveal into a scry-and-draw. The once-per-turn cap is what keeps the payoff from spiraling: without it, a board of face-down permanents flipped across a single main phase would drown an opponent in cards, and the whole thing would need to cost far more than it does. That clause also quietly answers disguise's oldest tension, the flip you commit to but hope pays off, because here the flip is worth a card even when you're only calling a bluff or forcing a bad block. The mode arrangement is the neat part: it lives on the battlefield as the engine, but it carries its own disguise cost, so in a pinch it can hide and become one more permanent to flip for value later. It closes no games on its own; it's a support piece. What it changes is the axis disguise operates on, adding card advantage to a mechanic previously built entirely around timing and the threat of the unknown.
