Rationale

7cmc flying Phyrexian Nightmare with ward. ETB payoff: each noncreature spell creates X 1/1 red Phyrexian Goblin tokens (X = spell's MV), gaining haste. Signature spellslinger/tokens-go-wide engine in UR shells; strong in storm/cantrip-heavy strategies. Off-curve for aggro; slow setup and removal-magnet risk; requires noncreature-spell density to payoff. Phyrexian and goblin tribal synergies are secondary.
