Serpentine Curve

A payoff that reads the trash as a resource. The Fractal it makes starts as a blank 0/0 and grows by counting the instant and sorcery cards you have already spent, both in the graveyard and in exile, so it cashes in the play pattern a spell-heavy deck produces on its own: cheap cantrips, burn, and counterspells cast across the early turns, all converted into a body. Counting exile is the quietly aggressive part of the design, since it picks up cards that flashback, delve, foretell, or any other exile-cost mechanic have permanently removed from your library. Where most graveyard-count payoffs punish you for burning your fuel, this one is indifferent to whether the card is recyclable or gone forever; spent is spent, and spent is what it tallies. The result is a curve-topper that scales with a metric you accumulate across many turns instead of a single burst, and it produces a creature in two colors it does not itself require, so the token arrives green-blue regardless of how you cast into it. It is a finisher for the archetype that treats individual spells as ammunition and wants one card that turns the empty magazine into a threat.
