Piercing Exhale
A bite spell that pays a dividend to Dragon decks without ever asking them to spend a Dragon. The green core is familiar: point your creature's power at something and blow it up, one-sided, no return damage. What reframes it is the additional cost. Behold a Dragon (either reveal one from hand or gesture at one already in play) and the removal comes stapled to a surveil 2. The clause is a deck-identity check disguised as a cost: it never consumes the Dragon, so whether you reveal one from hand or point to one in play, it stays available to satisfy the same requirement again next turn. Anyone can cast the bite; the graveyard-shaping and card selection are reserved for players actually running the tribe, and they get it for free once the reveal is met. That is the interesting move here, gating an upside behind proof-of-archetype rather than a hard resource payment or a life cost. It reads cleanly at instant speed in both modes: a plain combat ambush when you have nothing to reveal, and, when you do, a removal spell that also digs, smoothing the next draw and stocking the graveyard while spending exactly one card. The surveil is selection, not advantage; the trade is still one-for-one, just a cleaner one. The card scales less with mana and more with commitment, a quieter way of rewarding a build-around than most tribal payoffs bother with.
