Thrull Surgeon

Targeted discard with a body attached, but the body is the cost rather than the payoff. The interesting design tension is the sacrifice clause: most discard spells of this era resolved once and left, while this packages the effect onto a creature that can sit on the board, hold the table at one power, and convert into hand disruption later when you have the mana and the read. That deferral is the whole point. You pay nothing extra to deploy the threat early, then decide on a future turn whether the better play is a swing or a surgical strip, and the sorcery-speed restriction keeps you from ambushing a key card the moment an opponent draws it. The two-mana floor on the activation, on top of the you spent casting it, makes the discard pricey for what it does, which is the friction balancing a repeatable-looking effect that is, in practice, strictly one-shot. So the card reads as a 1/1 with upside but plays as a discard spell you can hold in reserve on the battlefield rather than in your hand, trading immediacy for flexibility about when the disruption lands and what it takes.
