Snakeform

A combat trick built on subtraction rather than addition. Most pump-and-cantrip instants in these colors hand a creature something extra; this one strips a creature down to nothing and pays you a card for the privilege. Reducing a target to a vanilla 1/1 with no abilities is a quietly broad removal-adjacent effect: it kills nothing, but it neutralizes everything for a turn, blanking an evasive attacker, a giant blocker, a creature whose abilities matter more than its body, or an activated-ability engine right as it tries to fire. The window is the whole point. At instant speed it answers a combat math problem after attacks are declared, shrinking a 6/6 to a 1/1 so a small creature trades up, or wiping the keywords off something that was about to connect for lethal. Because the transformation expires when the turn does, it never functions as permanent removal, which is the constraint that keeps a flexible answer from being an unconditional one; you are buying a single turn of safety, not a kill. The cantrip is what turns that purchase into a clean rather than a card-negative play, and the hybrid pip lets either color foot the bill without committing to both.
