Smoky Lounge // Misty Salon
Doors are normally something you spend: you unlock a Room to cash in its effect and move on. This card turns the spending itself into a scoreboard. The red half is nothing but infrastructure, a repeatable ritual whose mana can only feed Room spells and door-unlock costs, so it advances one plan and one plan only: piling up unlocked halves as fast as possible. The blue half then reads that same board directly, minting a flier sized to the number of doors already open, itself included. A single copy in a vacuum is modest, but the intent is a capstone that wants a crowded house behind it rather than a lone opening play. Because the Spirit is created the moment the Misty Salon door unlocks (whether you cast that half or pay its cost as a sorcery on the battlefield), its size is locked in at the point of commitment, not banked for a bigger turn later. The design earns its complexity through how self-referential it is: every earlier door you walked through inflates the body that walks out here, so the payoff grows in exact proportion to how deep you are into the engine. It is a Room built to reward players who have already treated the archetype as a race to open as many doors as possible.
