Baloth Null

Creature — Zombie Beast4 generic manaBlack manaGreen mana

Six mana for a 4/5 is a sluggish rate, but the body was never the point: this is a creature that buys back two creatures from the yard the moment it lands, and that one trigger is what slots it into self-mill and reanimator shells across both its colors. The Raise Dead effect (doubled) is normally a sorcery's worth of value attached to a spell that does nothing else; bolting it onto a creature means the card gets to be looped, blinked, and recurred itself, turning a single late-game draw into a repeatable hand-refueling engine if you can flicker or sacrifice and rebuy it. The targeting is generous in a way Raise Dead never was: up to two, any creature cards, no restriction on power or type, so it scoops back a fattie and a sacrifice-fodder dork in the same trigger. What keeps it honest is the floor. The recursion is one-shot per cast, and at six mana you are paying full freight for a body that blocks well and attacks unremarkably, so it rewards a deck that has already filled its graveyard rather than one hoping to. As a midrange value piece it lives or dies on whether the cards it returns are worth more than the tempo lost casting a slow do-nothing first.
