Scary card, but probably printable. Half a Flash-Hulk :)
A top-down design. Rebels are causing chaos all over Queen Cecilia's city, and she won't tolerate that kind of subversion. The rebels are about to be caught by Cecilia's guards, and so a brave member, the brother of leader Matteo, offers to distract the guards while the others flee. He is caught, probably given an Exile Order, and wishes the rest can someday win the war for freedom.
For flavor reasons, this used to cost
, and it was obligatory that a creature died this turn. At some point, the rare white Adapt spell was cut. I decided to look if there was any card already made that made sense with adapt before making a new one. I figured that it should be possible to cast this when you're winning. So, if you have an extra 
, maybe the guards won't get Lorenzo!
Finally, I like how this foreshadowed Harmony's CMC-1-or-less theme.
