Ajani's Last Stand

Two triggers, two failure states, one payoff: this enchantment is built to convert a player's worst outcomes into a flying 4/4. The first clause turns attrition into tempo, letting any creature or planeswalker death become a sacrifice trade for a body that flies over the ground stall that killed your last threat. The second clause is the more unusual piece of engineering: it punishes targeted discard, so a hand-attack spell pointed at your hand stops being card disadvantage and starts being a 4/4 in play (as long as a Plains is down to authenticate the trigger). That second half is the design idea worth pausing on. Discard is meant to strip resources before they hit the battlefield; here the card flips the table on the disruptor, treating their own hand attack as the cost of producing the token. It is a hexproof-adjacent answer to hand disruption that lives entirely in the graveyard-and-stack interaction rather than on a creature's keyword line. The Avatar itself is generic on purpose: what does the work is the pair of conditions that mint it, both of which fire off the kind of board states and stack interactions a white midrange deck expects to lose to. Neither trigger does anything proactive, which is the restriction that keeps a four-mana enchantment honest: it only ever pays off once something has already gone wrong.
