Slip Into the Crowd
Become Anonymous gives you a precise escape tool for tempo and deception. With Become Anonymous you exile a chosen nontoken creature you own along with the top two cards of your library into a face down pile, shuffle that pile, then cloak those cards so they enter the battlefield tapped. The effect trades immediate board presence for hidden value and a later surprise, which pairs cleanly with bounce, blink, and reanimation lines or with an on demand defense against removal.
The Assassin's Creed motif here fits the play pattern. Use Become Anonymous to protect a key creature from a sweep or to disguise a threat while you assemble answers. Experienced players will note the card gives simultaneous card advantage and tempo flexibility because cloaked cards act as blockers until you pay their cost to reveal them. Play it when timing matters and you want options the opponent cannot read. Add this Near Mint English copy to collections and decks that value strategic concealment and card selection.

Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – Exile target nontoken creature you own and the top two cards of your library in a face down pile, shuffle that pile, then cloak those cards. They enter the battlefield tapped. (To cloak a card, put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature with ward 2. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it is a creature card.)
