Cosima, God of the Voyage // The Omenkeel
The upkeep exile turns the God into a self-contained accumulation game: send her away, and each land you drop offers a choice, either bank another voyage counter or cash the whole stack in. When she returns, the counters translate one-for-one into both body size and cards drawn, so the entire tension is patience versus greed. The elegant twist is that exile is itself a shield: while she sails, no board wipe or targeted removal can touch her, which means the only real risk is misjudging when the payout has grown fat enough to justify pulling her back. The Omenkeel is a wholly separate engine on the reverse, a Crew 1 Vehicle that fires whenever any Vehicle you control connects with an opponent, exiling that many cards from the defender's library and letting you play any lands hidden among them (not milling, since those cards never touch the graveyard). Because the two faces share a card rather than a game, you cast one or the other, and no Vehicle attack can feed the God's voyage on the flip side. The frame enforces a thematic rhyme, not a mechanical loop: both halves care about lands, one filling your own accumulator and the other harvesting them from an opponent, and building around it asks you to decide before you cast which land engine the board actually wants.
