Rampaging War Mammoth
Most cyclers give you a single card and nothing else; here the discard doubles as a scalable artifact-wipe whose reach you dial in with X, so a hand clogged with a seven-drop turns into a cantrip plus removal exactly as wide as the board demands. The tension is honest: cycling for a big X to break three artifacts costs real mana, and the destruction caps at whatever you were willing to pump into it, so you are always weighing the removal against the tempo of drawing into something you can actually cast. Red has carried artifact hate since the beginning, but bolting it onto the escape hatch of a dead-weight fatty is the clever part: the same card that rots in your grip against a fast board becomes a flexible answer against an artifact deck, no dedicated slot spent. And the floor never disappears. When there is nothing worth destroying, the 9/7 trampler is a genuine clock that shoves damage through chump blockers and closes in three swings. The split is the whole design. You are holding a beater and a scalable artifact answer in one card, and the game state, not you, decides which half you spent it on.
