Sin Prodder
A pseudo-random card-advantage engine that hands the choice to the wrong person on purpose. The lineage runs through cards like Browbeat and Risk Factor: red's recurring trick of attaching upside to both branches of an opponent's decision so the only real loss is symmetry. Here the math happens on your upkeep, and it lands squarely on whatever sits atop your deck. The devil is in the mana value. Reveal a cheap spell and the opponent will usually just bin it and eat the trivial one or two damage rather than let you draw it; reveal a fatty and they would rather take a face full of that mana value in burn than feed you a bomb, so it goes to the graveyard and they pay the price. Reveal a land, though, and the choice collapses: at mana value zero, the opponent bins it for free and you get nothing, which is the ceiling this engine is quietly capped by. The 3/2 body with menace is almost a feint: the real reward is a deckbuilder's question, because the value scales with how lopsided and land-light your curve is. Load the top end and every reveal becomes a genuine fork where the opponent chooses which way they would rather lose. What elevates it past a value Devil is that it externalizes the variance: you are not gambling on your own draws so much as forcing an opponent to price your unknown card in real time, every turn, with no way to opt out of the dilemma entirely.
