Dissenter's Deliverance

Green has always had access to clean artifact destruction, and it has always come with the same catch: the turn you draw it against a deck running no artifacts, you hold a brick. Cycling for a single green mana resolves that tension at the source. When there is nothing to blow up, the card stops being a removal spell and becomes a cantrip, converting a dead answer into a fresh card for the price you would pay to scry. That conversion is the whole pitch. The destruction half is deliberately unremarkable (instant-speed, one artifact, no rider), and the plainness is the point: this is a card designed never to be excellent and never to be embarrassing, only to be present. The two halves cover for each other's worst-case scenarios. Strip the cycling away and you have a narrow effect that punishes you when the matchup does not cooperate; strip the destruction away and you have a bare one-mana cantrip. Together they turn a situational answer into a card that always has a use, which is the entire design logic of cycling on a hate spell. The keyword papers over the one weakness that makes narrow removal hard to justify: its situationality. It does not make the effect stronger; it makes the effect free of downside, and for an answer whose ceiling is fixed and low, removing the floor is worth more than raising the ceiling.
