Sardian Avenger

A hate-bear that only bares its teeth against the right table. On its own, a 1/1 with first strike and trample for two is a rounding error, but its combat rider scales directly off the artifacts sitting across from it: swing into an artifact-heavy board and the +X/+0 turns a token-sized body into a genuine threat, its power climbing with every equipment, mana rock, and construct the opposition has committed to. The second clause is the payoff for the deck it wants to punish: whenever an opponent's artifact dies, the Avenger pings that player for one. It rewards you not just for having your own removal but for the natural attrition of an artifact game, where Bomat Couriers get cracked and Treasure tokens get sacrificed as a matter of course. That turns incidental artifact destruction into a slow burn, a life-total drain that runs parallel to the beatdown. The design is entirely conditional by intent: it is a specialized answer priced like a body, dead against a creature deck and menacing against a machine. What makes it read as a Goblin Warrior rather than a piece of colorless hate is that both halves want the same thing, an opponent overextended on artifacts, and reward you for attacking into it rather than sitting back. It is a punishment card wearing an aggressive face.
