Living Lore

A delivery system disguised as a beater. The body is collateral; the real payload is the exiled spell, and the card's whole arithmetic runs through the exiled card's mana value. Exile a big enough sorcery and you get a creature large enough to punch through, then you sacrifice it on connection and resolve that spell for free. That reframes how you fill the graveyard, and the reframing is the point: the spell never has to be cast the normal way. Anything you milled, discarded, or dumped there qualifies just as well, which is what lets the mana-value scaling get abusive. A ten-mana bomb pitched to the yard costs nothing to set up and hands you a 10/10 that recasts a ten-mana bomb on impact. Cheap cantrips make a feeble blocker but a fine secondary cast; expensive haymakers make a real threat but ask you to land a hit before they pay off. The sacrifice clause keeps the loop from being free value: the recast triggers on any combat damage, so even a swing into a chump blocker cashes out, but you have to commit a fragile creature to the red zone and survive to connect. The trigger's window is the exploitable seam: removal in response to the combat-damage trigger kills the creature before the sacrifice resolves and denies the free cast entirely. The ceiling (a free-cast bomb attached to a body sized by that same bomb) is a payoff for a deck built to feed it, not one that splashes it.
