Rationale
Ultimate Green Goblin is a 3-mana 5/4 legendary that generates a Treasure each upkeep at the cost of a discard, making it a powerful value engine in discard-matters and treasure shells. The Mayhem ability rewards having discarded it that same turn, enabling graveyard recursion for {2}{B/R} and synergizing tightly with wheels, looting, and aristocrats strategies. At 5/4 for 3 in Brawl it's an efficient aggressive threat with ongoing value upside.
Learnings (3)
The upkeep trigger is mandatory — you must discard a card each upkeep, which can be a liability in topdeck situations but also enables Mayhem self-recursion naturally.

Mayhem's discard requirement is satisfied by ANY discard effect that turn, not just the upkeep trigger — wheels, Faithless Looting, or other discard outlets all count and let you cast Ultimate Green Goblin from the graveyard for {2}{B/R}.

Being a 5/4 for 3 in a Rakdos shell makes this a genuine curve-topper threat in Brawl at 25 life; the Treasure generation also accelerates follow-up plays, making it stronger than it appears on rate alone.
