Feign and Flourish
Fake Your Own Death is a compact, tactical instant that buys tempo and value in the same play. For one and a black you push a creature through combat or a removal spell by giving it +2/+0 until end of turn while granting a built in safety net. The card reads like a one turn bluff that turns lethal trades into a repeatable resource because the creature returns tapped and you also get a Treasure token to smooth your next play.
Use Fake Your Own Death to salvage a key attacker, bait removal, or set up a value engine with sacrifice synergies. In limited it forces awkward blocks and in constructed it slots into decks that want low cost interaction and token generation. It fits cleanly into the Foundations Jumpstart ethos: simple, efficient, and clever play that rewards timing and sequencing. Add it to your deck when you want a cheap play that leaves you ahead on board or on mana.
