Hidden Herd

The wager is purely punitive: spend a single green mana to bet that an opponent plays a nonbasic land, and collect a 3/3 the moment they do. It belongs to a one-mana enchantment cycle whose members lie dormant until a triggering choice happens across the table, each variant punishing a different land or spell decision from a different color's seat. The conditional is the entire balancing act: the card costs almost nothing because its payoff is dictated by the opponent's manabase rather than your own development. Against a deck running only basics it never wakes up, an inert enchantment cluttering the board; against a greedy multicolor or utility-land build it flips into a real threat for one mana, about as cheap as a 3/3 comes. The curiosity is the timing. The transformation fires on the opponent's terms, on their turn, when they choose to play the offending land, so you cannot rush the body out or rely on it arriving when you need it. It is a metagame read rendered as cardboard, a bet that resolves only if the opposition cooperates and on their schedule, not yours. Cheap, conditional, and only ever as live as the manabase you point it at, the card hands you the dial but lets the table across from you decide whether it ever turns.
