**Unexpected Assistance** would fit best in a blue-based token or creature-heavy tempo deck that can reliably generate multiple creatures to take advantage of convoke—such as Azorius Soldiers, Mono-Blue Spirits (in formats where creature density is high), or Simic Tokens—because tapping creatures effectively reduces the five-mana cost and lets you refuel without spending your full turn’s mana.
