Mogg Conscripts

Wizards has spent its history pricing one-drop beaters above their stats or below their bodies, and the standard lever is a drawback the right deck never feels: Carnophage and Sarcomancy pay life, Jackal Pup punishes you on the way out. This goblin taxes your turn instead of your life total. It can't swing unless you've cast a creature spell that same turn, which means it costs nothing to a deck spilling bodies onto the board every turn and a fortune to anything trying to durdle. The condition keys off the cast, not the resolution, so a countered creature spell still unlocks the attack, and the body remains a serviceable blocker on the turns you sit back. Read it as the early-red design thesis rendered into a single restriction: aggression should reward you for committing to the plan and quietly tax you for hedging. The conscript follows the army or it stands at the gate.
