Agatha's Champion
The green fight spell was always a rate-versus-condition problem: green buys removal by stapling it to a body, but the body has to already exist and survive the trade. Bargain folds both halves into one cast. Pay the extra cost by throwing an artifact, enchantment, or token onto the fire, and the 4/4 arrives already swinging at something you don't control, its power feeding directly into the fight. Trample matters afterward, in combat, when the surviving body pushes through chump blockers; it does nothing for the fight, which is a discrete non-combat exchange that ends whatever it kills without spillover. Skip the Bargain and the fight trigger simply doesn't fire (the "if it was bargained" clause reads it out), leaving a plain 4/4 trampler as the floor. That floor is the pressure-release valve that keeps the card honest: the removal is a bonus you buy, not a guarantee, so the deck that wants it has to be one already spitting out expendable permanents. That constraint is the interesting part. This is a payoff that only reads as removal in a shell built to feed it, turning a generically fine green beater into a reward for token-flooded and aristocrats-adjacent decks with spare fodder every turn. The fight-on-entry timing carries the usual green caveat: your creature takes damage back, so the math wants a fat body across from something small, not a mutual kill.
