Creature — Atog1 generic manaRed manaGreen mana

Atog has always been the gleeful self-cannibal, the engine that eats your own board for a damage burst, and this Gruul variant answers the original's biggest deckbuilding cost: it needed a deck stuffed with artifacts to feed it, a real constraint in any environment that wasn't artifact-rich. Splitting the diet between artifacts and lands solves that by guaranteeing fuel in essentially any board state: every deck runs lands, so the second sacrifice clause supplies food without asking the builder to commit slots to it. The trade lives in the colors. Green and red want a manabase that keeps its lands; the land-sacrifice line wants to throw them away. That contradiction is what gives the card its character: a body that can balloon arbitrarily large in a single attack step if you are willing to eat your future. Converting permanent resources into a one-turn lethal swing makes the card a closer more than a value engine, since each point of growth is land you will not untap with. It belongs to the line of Atog reskins Wizards has tuned across the years to different fuel sources, from the artifact-eaters to the goblin-eaters to the card-eaters; this one is built for a board with land to spare and a reason to want a sudden oversized attacker out of a humble frame.
