While helping Dudibus with their
Star Wars set, I had an idea for a new type of split spell punisher mechanic that gave you the expensive half if an opponent couldn't bare the cheaper half. They're designed so that the cheaper half is an active negative for the opponent but the expensive half is a potentially bigger problem. You can always cast the expensive half for full value, but you can tempt the opponent with the cheaper half.
