Conceited Witch // Price of Beauty
Cast the Adventure and you spend a black mana handing one of your creatures a Wicked Role, then tuck the witch herself into exile to redeem as a 2/3 with menace on a later turn. That ordering is the design's whole trick: the Role token wants a target on the board when Price of Beauty resolves, so the "front half first" line rewards you for already having committed a body to the battlefield rather than holding back. The narrative frame reads through the mechanics cleanly, a witch who curses others with beauty and eventually answers for her own vanity, which is the quiet virtue of pairing the enchantment with the creature: the two halves are cause and consequence, not a spell arbitrarily stapled to a body. Collapsing two effects into one slot is where this kind of split card earns its keep, but the sequencing here is stricter than most, and that stricture is what shapes how you deploy it. The menace on the creature half is small but not incidental. A Wicked Role turns any death into a drain on the opponent, so it wants its host to trade rather than idle, and a 2/3 that demands two blockers is built to force exactly that kind of exchange.
