Vannifar, Evolved Enigma
Vannifar, Evolved Enigma is a tempo minded legend that asks you to think like a deckbuilder and an investigator at once. With a casting cost of {2}{G}{G} and a 3/4 body, Vannifar gives you a repeatable beginning of combat choice that either cloaks a hand card into a warded 2/2 or places incremental growth onto your colorless threats. Play patterns favoring toolbox creatures or go wide colorless strategies both find practical lines with this card.
In lore terms Vannifar feels like a scholar who experiments with biomass and warding sigils, turning secret resources into fielded answers. From a gameplay perspective the card rewards sequencing and careful mana planning so you can flip a cloak when it matters or snowball board presence with counters. Expect useful plays in midrange shells that want flexible early aggression and late game incremental advantage.
