The "Moonies," the Victory Altar, the World Mission Society of God, the Evangelical Baptist Church of Korea, and Shincheonji all come to mind. It seems like the 60s-80s were a fertile time for these types of groups. I know Korea has a significant Christian population, but why so many supposed Christs?
Essentially, if a character bears the name of one of the deadly sins, they qualify. Each sin is pitted only against those who share its name.

[[Enigmatic Incarnation]] is an extremely powerful card. It is just behind Birthing Pod in terms of raw power for this kind of effect.
However, it has a number of disadvantages that aren't shared by Birthing Pod in Standard and Historic: the available mana base, the available pool of cards, and the lack of an infinite combo to work with. Additionally, it requires two card types in your deck (creatures + enchantments) rather than just the one that Pod requires (creatures).
Long story short, the card is powerful... But I'd only give it a 40% chance of seeing viable competitive play (much less quality competitive play). The sort of repeatable tutor effects are some of my favourites, so I'll break down some of the reasons for my conclusion.
What are cards like this trying to do?
Narrow tutor effects like this tend to be playable in a few possible scenarios.
The first scenario is the combo-tutor. For instance, [[Allosaurus Rider]] with [[neoform]] gives you a [[Griselbrand]]. Through silly shenanigans, your +1 cost results in spending 2 mana to get an 8-cost creature into play. Even that would not be powerful enough by itself necessarily, except the deck then uses that to combo for an instant-speed kill.
This is unlikely in Arena formats. There's nothing you can do to cheat a big payoff, other than Leylines. And all those do is get you a 5 drop one turn sooner, and anyone who has tried maindecking [[Leyline of the Void]] knows how terrible that can go. It isn't worth snagging a 5 drop. If [[Brine Giant]] was an enchantment creature... Well, then we'd have something to work with.
The second scenario is the grindy-combo-tutor. Think Melira Pod or Kiki Chord. These are decks that have some sort of payoff (infinite combos in their cases) and have crazy grinding value.
This is the most likely route the deck can go, minus the payoff of an infinite combo. That makes the deck substantially weaker, but it may be viable-ish for Arena formats.
Compared to Vannifar, however, which cannot tutor the turn it comes down... And there is a significant increase in power compared to the last option available. So there's some hope at least.
The colours... Are wrong.
This is another key point that is probably what breaks the deck instead of making it. The colours for this card are wrong. The cards you want to be playing really are Abzan cards, but this card is Blue. You could try to go for a 4 colour deck, but the current mana bases don't support it.
