Goblin Glasswright // Craft with Pride
Prepared reframes the old split-card fork as a stored option. Where a classic split spell made you pick one half at the moment you cast it, this Goblin lands as a body first and keeps Craft with Pride in reserve: the 2/2 hits the battlefield, and when you want the Treasure, you cast the copy off its prepared state to make it. Firing that stored spell unprepares the creature, but it does not shrink or sacrifice the body; the 2/2 stays right where it is. What you spend is the option itself, a one-shot resource that can only be cashed in once, which is the discipline that stops the whole package from being a repeatable spell engine. The payoff is deliberately tiny: a single any-color Treasure, ramp so modest it signals that the mechanic, not the effect, is where the value lives. The interesting part is structural. A creature and a spell live on one card, and you choose when the second half resolves, folding an extra body and a hit of mana-smoothing into a single early cast without drawing two cards to do it. The Goblin Sorcerer type line is the tell: this design wants a build where the beater is also a caster, and where holding a prepared spell in reserve is itself a line of play rather than a delayed inevitability.
