Nezumi Graverobber // Nighteyes the Desecrator
A two-drop that disrupts your opponent's graveyard one card at a time, and the disruption is also a fuse. Every activation strips a card from an opponent's bin; when that bin is finally empty, the front half retires itself and flips into Nighteyes the Desecrator, a reanimation engine that drags any creature card from any graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. The flip condition is the clever part: not a sacrifice, not a counter, but a board state you create by doing the disruption you were already committed to. The two halves run on opposite axes, and deliberately so. Cards exiled by the front side are gone for good, so Nighteyes cannot recover what the Graverobber removed; instead the back side hunts the creatures opponents buried themselves, or the ones you stocked in your own yard. The fragile 2/1 body leans on the activation costs to do the balancing: at instant speed, the front half picks apart flashback, delve, and recursion piece by piece, while the back half's reanimation tax keeps it from playing as a free Animate Dead. The result is both the cheap utility creature you cast on turn two and the late-game payoff you grind toward, with the transformation gated entirely behind interaction rather than ramp. The clock improves the more it works, which is a rare thing for a card whose whole job is denial.
