Slip into the Veil
Become Anonymous is a tight, utility instant for blue decks that want to hide key creatures and turn library top cards into surprises. Cast for {2}{U}{U}, it exiles a nontoken creature you own along with the top two cards of your library into a face down pile, shuffles that pile, and then cloaks those cards so they enter the battlefield tapped. The effect preserves board presence while denying opponents targets and answers, and the cloak mechanic gives you protected, transformable bodies that can later be turned face up if they are creature cards.
The play pattern is straightforward and flexible. Use Become Anonymous to protect a valuable creature from removal, to dodge a lethal attack, or to set up a late game threat by turning face up for the printed mana cost. Players familiar with Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed flavor will appreciate the stealth motif that meshes well with bounce, blink, and reveal synergies. Practical, compact, and clever in control or midrange builds, this uncommon instant rewards timing and forethought. Add it to decks that value tempo and hidden information.
