Rationale
5-mana enchantment that creates three 1/1 tokens of different tribes, then secretly picks one type to later pump (3 +1/+1 counters + deathtouch) if you sacrifice it and reveal the chosen type targeting an attacking token of that tribe. The hidden-information gimmick is novel but the payoff requires a 5-mana setup, a sorcery-speed sacrifice, and a successfully attacking token of the exact chosen type — too many hoops for competitive play. The ETB tokens provide marginal go-wide value, but the enchantment itself doesn't advance any cohesive strategy efficiently.
