Surgical Suite // Hospital Room

Two effects that rarely share a deck, welded onto a single permanent whose halves unlock on their own clock. Surgical Suite is the cheap door: unlocking it fires a one-shot reanimation trigger capped at mana value 3 or less, a ceiling that quietly rewards a graveyard of small bodies over a single fatty and stays balanced without a discard package feeding it. It does its work once and falls silent. Hospital Room is the persistent door: every attack, one attacking creature grows, a counter that compounds turn over turn rather than a burst of pump. What makes the pairing sing is the sequencing latitude. You pay for whichever half your hand wants first, then unlock the other from the battlefield later at sorcery speed, so the same permanent rebuilds a board early and turns into a grind engine late. The asymmetry is the point: one half is a tempo swing you cash at the right moment, the other an anthem-on-attack that only gets better once online. Reading which door the board wants, and in what order, is the entire decision folded into six mana split across two unlocks.
