Norman Osborn // Green Goblin

The front face is a self-sizing evasion engine wearing a two-mana 1/1 body: unblockable connive draws-and-loots every combat, and every nonland pitched grows it, so an unanswered Norman Osborn escalates its own damage output turn over turn. The flip trades that combat loop for a graveyard-as-hand payoff. Green Goblin makes spells cast from the yard cost two less, and the Goblin Formula hands every nonland card in your graveyard a mayhem cost equal to its mana cost, letting you recast anything you discarded that turn. The two halves are deliberately wired together: the front face's connive is the fuel line, each loot feeding the graveyard the flip wants to strip-mine, so the discard that would otherwise be a cost becomes a staging area. The transform is gated behind at sorcery speed, a Grixis price tag that anchors the flip firmly in three colors and asks you to survive with the fragile front body long enough to earn the back. Mayhem as printed here is not a keyword doing quiet work in the margins; it converts your discard pile into a second hand for one turn at a time, which reframes every card you connive away as a delayed cast rather than a loss. The whole package is a two-stage machine: a cheap, evasive value creature that manufactures its own graveyard, then flips into the engine built to spend it.
