Pitiless Gorgon

The hybrid casting cost is the whole reason this 2/2 earns a slot: three mana for a deathtouch body is a rate nobody remembers, but a creature payable with black or green mana in any combination drops into either color's deck without so much as a nod to the manabase. Deathtouch on a small frame functions as a defensive tax; it dares attackers into a one-for-one trade they rarely want, and any point of damage it lands becomes a kill, so it walls off creatures many times its size that it could never survive on raw stats. It blocks and trades identically whether it sits in a mono-black shell or a mono-green one, which is exactly the latitude the hybrid frame was built to hand a deckbuilder. Its job is modest and honest: it buys time and preserves color flexibility in a single common, filling out a curve without demanding anything back.
