Wistfulness
The two enter triggers read the mana you actually tapped, not the mana value, and that single choice turns a five-drop into a small ballot cast in the pips. Spend two green anywhere in the total and the artifact-or-enchantment exile fires; spend two blue and you draw two, then discard one. The generic is what makes the menu greedy instead of exclusive: nothing stops a
line from satisfying both checks at once, exiling a permanent and filtering a card on the same enter, with a 6/5 left standing. That double payoff costs no more mana value than committing to a single color; the only price is threading two green and two blue through the same turn, and the selection lives in the mana you tap rather than a mode you announce. Evoke opens a third dial, because the two hybrid pips paid as an evoke cost can still meet a color condition (two green or two blue). Cast it that way and the creature trades its own life for a naturalize or a look at two cards deep, then sacrifices itself with no body left behind. The lineage runs back through the original evoke Incarnations, where the sacrifice clause let a summon double as a spell. This one layers a color-payment gate on top: the effects are not declared, they are spent.
