Struggle // Survive

The interesting seam is between two halves that share a slot but never share a job. The front is scaling removal: damage keyed to your land count, a play that starts modest and quietly grows into a one-card answer to almost anything as the game goes long. The back cannot be cast from your hand at all; it lives in the graveyard, waiting for Struggle to deposit it there after resolving, and the aftermath rule exiles it the moment it goes off, so it never lingers. Nothing forces the two casts onto separate turns: with the mana and the graveyard in place, Struggle into Survive can happen in a single turn, the removal spell and the reset chained across two trips to the stack. Survive is the payoff for that structure, and its shuffle clause is pointed in both directions. It refills a drained library and disrupts opponents leaning on their bins for delve fuel, flashback fodder, or a reanimation pile, but it sweeps your own graveyard back in along with theirs. That symmetry is the design point: aftermath asks you to treat the graveyard as a one-way conveyor rather than a stockpile, and Survive rewards a deck that would rather clear both yards than mine its own. The split frame does the accounting cleanly. One draw yields early interaction and a late-game board-state lever, paid for in two casts, with the graveyard itself as the resource that connects them.
