Hide in Plain Sight: Cloak the Top Five
Hide in Plain Sight is a tactical tool for mid to late game setups. Cast for {3}{G}, it lets you look at the top five cards of your library, choose two to cloak, and place the rest on the bottom in a random order. Cloaked cards enter the battlefield face down as 2/2 creatures with ward 2 and can be turned face up for their mana cost if they are creatures. This effect rewards careful sequencing and hand planning and can convert marginal draws into immediate board presence while protecting key threats from targeted removal.
The card fits cleanly into green decks that prize tempo and incremental advantage. Use it to hide a combo piece or to present blockers that stall until you can invest mana to flip them. In lore terms the trees of Karlov Manor conceal more than roots and rot. The same quiet growth that shelters the manor can mask a late game pivot when opponents do not expect sudden bodies. Practical players will value the card for both deck filtering and surprise deployment.
