You Find a Cursed Idol

Sorcery1 generic manaGreen mana

Naturalize has always been green's baseline disenchant, hitting an artifact or an enchantment for the same two mana. This one keeps that template and bolts on a third door: if neither destruction mode has a worthwhile target, you can make a Treasure and venture into the dungeon instead. That third mode is the actual design idea, because it retires the oldest weakness of green removal. A Naturalize sitting in hand against a board with nothing to break is a dead card; here, the same slot reads the room and converts into a one-shot mana source plus a dungeon step the moment there is nothing to blow up. The tradeoff is that all three lines fold into a single modal choice, resolved at sorcery speed on your own turn, so you pick exactly one and never staple an answer to a bonus. The choice sharpens the card rather than diluting it: green interaction that can never be blank, priced identically whether you spend it answering an opponent's permanent or advancing your own plan. It is the choose-your-own-adventure framing applied cleanly to a color-pie staple, and the Steal Its Eyes mode is what makes the exercise worth remembering, since it lets a reactive spell double as forward motion on the turns the reactive half is useless.
