Nantuko Vigilante
Green's artifact and enchantment removal has always carried a structural liability: it sits dead in hand against an opponent who presents no target, and you have spent a card slot on an answer you may never cast. The fix here is to fold the answer into a creature. Hidden under morph for three, the card contributes to the board as a 2/2 while you wait; when a permanent worth destroying finally appears, the flip turns it into a 3/2 and destroys the target on the way up. The choice is the whole design. Against a deck with no targets, you keep a beater in disguise and never pay for an effect you cannot use. Against an opponent leaning on a key artifact or enchantment, you hold up the unmorph and answer at instant speed, often catching them mid-combat or mid-combo. Morph also conceals the threat: an unflipped creature reads as filler, so the destruction arrives without warning, a trap rather than a telegraph. And the body left behind is the quiet upside. Most green answers to an artifact or enchantment cost a card and a slot to do one job; this one keeps swinging once the job is done, which is the whole reason a creature was the right shell for the effect in the first place.
