Rationale
5cmc 4/6 vigilance that flickers up to one artifact and one creature at end step — a built-in, repeatable blink effect that re-triggers ETBs every turn. Signature in flicker/blink and ETB-value shells; particularly powerful in equipment-voltron since flickering an equipped creature re-attaches equipment (they return under their owner's control, re-equipping at no cost with some equipment like Sword cycle or auto-attach pieces). The once-per-end-step cadence is slow but free, making it a persistent value engine rather than a burst effect.
Learnings (3)
Don & Leo's end-step flicker re-triggers ETBs on both the artifact AND the creature every turn for free, making it a persistent engine that compounds over multiple turns rather than a one-shot effect.

Flickering an equipped creature causes equipment to fall off (they become unattached), but equipment with auto-attach effects (e.g. Sigarda's Aid + equipment with flash, or Robe of Stars-type equip) can re-attach immediately; plan your equipment suite accordingly.

Because the flicker happens at YOUR end step, the creatures return before your next untap — they enter with summoning sickness reset but vigilance on Don & Leo itself means Don & Leo can still attack the turn after being flickered out in a blink-chain scenario with other sources.
