Wild Hypothesis

SorceryX generic manaGreen mana

The Fractal token is green-blue's signature payload, a creature whose entire body is whatever X you paid for, and this is the leanest single-shot yet built to stamp one out. Where earlier Fractal-makers piled counters onto a token and stopped, this one folds card selection into the same cast: look two deep, keep what feeds the game plan, bury the rest. The surveil is doing more than smoothing the next draw. It sizes a graveyard, sets up whatever your deck wants on top, and it rides on a spell that already committed all its mana to a threat, so the selection reads as free rider rather than opportunity cost. The tension lives in the 0/0 base: pay X of zero and the token enters with no counters at all, dies to state-based actions before it does anything, so the floor of this card is a wasted cast plus a two-card dig. That downside is the discipline. It forces X high enough to matter, turning a lump sum of mana into exactly one variably-sized body rather than a reflexive chump blocker. The reward for going big is a single large threat plus a stocked graveyard and a sculpted top; the reward for going small is little more than the surveil. There is no cheap-and-often mode here, only one lever pulled once: how much of your turn to convert into a Fractal, and how much library to see for the trouble.
