Goblin Maskmaker

Creature — Goblin CitizenRed mana

Face-down mechanics have always run on a fixed toll: three mana to flip something onto the battlefield hidden, whether it turns out to be a bear or a bomb. That flat entry cost is what keeps disguise and morph honest, since the payoff hides on the back of the card and the front asks the same price of everyone. What this Goblin does is chip at that entry price, shaving a mana off every face-down spell cast in the turn it swings. The attack trigger is the hinge: the discount lands only after the creature commits to combat, so the reward tracks aggression rather than sitting back. Point it into an open board and the face-down bodies come out cheaper; leave it home and it is a 1/2 for one doing nothing. The design folds a hidden-information mechanic into a go-wide plan, making each subsequent morph or disguise easier to deploy mid-turn once the beatdown has started. It rewards sequencing your combat step ahead of your second main phase, a small reordering that most aggressive decks were not built to think about. The body is fragile and the effect narrow, but the intent is legible: a cheap head-of-the-line piece meant to make a face-down deck's turns snowball the moment it stops playing defense.
