mechanic idea- disguise (NR)

+
a bronze unit (man of masks, counter-fugue or something like that) 3 STR 6 Provosions. Deploy: choose a unit in your hand. Disguise that unit as any other unit of the same strength in your starting deck.
Disguise- give this unit the same appearance as another unit to your opponent. (In other words, it looks like and displays the abilities of the other unit. If you the player left click that card, it shows the real card.

Why is this a great idea? There are a whole lot of Northern realms units that have ongoing effects instead of deploy ability. quite a few NR units can also store massive amounts of power to be released all at once... Foltest's pride, Dethmold, Roche: Merciless.
playing a bronze unit with this mechanic will alert the opponent that a unit in the player's hand is disguised. Limiting the player to disguising as a unit of the same strength in your starting hand will give the opponent some clues. Usually any 4-5 strength non-deploy ability unit is already going to be a removal priority for the opponent regardless, but this mechanic could open interesting mind tricks. For example disguising the lady of the lake as another unit or vice versa.
