Mercurial Chemister

A two-ability split that asks the deck to be two decks at once. The blue mode is a tap-to-draw-two engine that wants a low curve and a full grip; the red mode is removal priced not in mana but in the discarded card's mana value, so it wants fat cards in hand to throw. Those incentives pull against each other, and the build is about reconciling them: you draw into gas with one tap, then convert the most expensive thing in your hand into a removal spell with the other. The body invites the obvious problem, since a 2/3 that taps for value is exactly what an opponent wants to point removal at before you untap, and every activation costs the tap that would otherwise generate the next card or the next kill. The discard-as-fuel removal is the cleverer half: most creature-based removal of this kind cares about power or sets a fixed damage number, while pricing the damage off mana value turns your dead late-game bombs and uncastable splashes into a sliding-scale burn spell aimed at the board. It is a control-deck card-advantage piece wearing a removal coat, built for a midrange shell that can protect a fragile Wizard and afford to spend whole turns tapping it rather than attacking.
