Become Brutes

Two mana buys haste for a body or two plus a permanent stat bump, and the interesting part is how those pieces are packaged: the haste is the payload for the turn you cast it, the Monster Role is the residue that outlives it. Most one-shot combat spells evaporate at end of turn; the Role token stays glued to the creature as a +1/+1 and trample enchantment until something removes it or overwrites it. That splits the card's value across two axes. On the turn you cast it, you are paying for surprise attackers, giving one or two creatures haste to swing into an unprepared board. After that turn, you are left with a permanent aura effect you paid a rush price for. The Role framework is what makes the dual-mode work cleanly: because you can only keep one Role you control on a creature at a time, layering a second Monster Role (or any other Role) onto the same target throws the old one into the graveyard rather than stacking, so the token is a fixed, non-cumulative upgrade rather than a snowballing one. That restriction is deliberate. It lets the effect be a clean, low-variance buff without the runaway math that a stacking aura would invite, and it keeps the haste-and-buff package priced as a tempo play rather than a build-around.
