Enigmatic Incarnation
Enchantment
At the beginning of your end step, you may sacrifice another enchantment. If you do, search your library for a creature card with mana value equal to 1 plus the sacrificed enchantment's mana value, put that card onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Enigmatic Incarnation converts any enchantment you control into a creature with a higher mana value — at end of turn, for free, every turn. The ceiling is absurd: a two-mana enchantment becomes a Timestream Navigator, and a five-mana enchantment becomes whatever seven-drop ends the game.

Commander is where Enigmatic Incarnation lives — enchantress builds can run it as a repeating toolbox engine, sacrificing cheap auras or sagas to climb the mana-value ladder toward game-ending threats. In Pioneer and Modern it's technically legal but the enchantment density and payoff creatures required to make it consistent aren't there in competitive lists. Legacy and Vintage have faster, more reliable ways to put large creatures into play, so Enigmatic Incarnation doesn't make the cut there either. Oathbreaker shares Commander's singleton, high-value-creature ecosystem and is the one other format where it can realistically fire.

Price data isn't available at time of writing, so check current listings before buying. Enigmatic Incarnation is a build-around rare with a narrow but devoted audience — demand spikes whenever a new enchantress commander is printed, so pick it up during a lull rather than chasing hype.
