Bartolomé del Presidio

A free sacrifice outlet stapled to a body that grows every time you feed it, priced at two mana with no mana cost to activate and no limit on how many times you pull the trigger per turn. That combination is the whole reason this card exists: it collapses the two-card engine that aristocrat decks usually need (an outlet plus a payoff) into a single legendary permanent. The sacrifice clause reaches both creatures and artifacts, which quietly widens what counts as fuel: Treasure tokens, Clue tokens, food, and any expendable body all convert into permanent stats. The design tension is that Bartolomé does nothing to your board on its own; the counters only pile up if you have something to sacrifice, and every activation is a real card leaving play. What keeps the rate fair is the direction of the value: unlike a sacrifice payoff that drains life or draws cards, this one only makes itself bigger, so the reward is capped by combat damage rather than snowballing across the whole game. It is a mono-purpose engine that rewards a specific kind of deck, one already generating disposable permanents, and asks that deck to convert them into an evasion-less clock rather than into card advantage.
