Creature — Atog1 generic manaWhite manaBlue mana

Atog has always been the color-pie joke that periodically gets a serious answer: a creature whose only trick is converting some category of resource into combat math, the original being the red artifact-eater that grew by feeding on its own board. Here the formula crosses into the white-blue camp by feeding on two different fuels, sacrificed enchantments and discarded cards, which is the design tension worth dwelling on. White-blue is not a sacrifice-aristocrats color pair, so an Atog parked there has nothing to do with its enchantment-eating mouth most of the time; the discard line is the engine that actually runs, turning a hellbent dump of dead cards into a quietly enormous body. That makes this less a finisher than a graveyard enabler with teeth, a 1/2 that lets a control or reanimator shell pitch the cards it wants in the bin while threatening to close on the swing. The split costs are doing different jobs from the same creature: one rewards an enchantment-heavy build that almost never overlaps with the deck running the other. Most members of the cycle commit to a single resource; splitting the appetite across two colors' worth of fuel is what marks this one as a deliberate, slightly awkward experiment rather than a clean reprint of the template.
