Creature — Eldrazi DroneGreen mana

Two bodies in one card, and the second one is the point. The 1/1 that hits the battlefield first is almost beside the matter: what a single green pip really buys is a death trigger that hands you an Eldrazi Scion, a token that can sacrifice itself for one colorless mana. That structure makes this premium sacrifice fodder. Feed the original drone to an outlet and you keep the Scion; cash the Scion in for mana later and you have converted one card into a creature that died on demand, a body in the graveyard, and a ramp source, spaced out across two distinct moments. The Eldrazi Scion was the leaner successor to the older Eldrazi Spawn token, a 1/1 instead of a 0/1, made in greater volume across the Eldrazi-token sets, and the engine here is built around generating them cheaply. Devoid keeps the whole package colorless, which matters less for the green caster than for anything downstream that cares about colorless permanents being present. What keeps the rate modest is that each half is small: a single 1/1, a single mana. The value is not in any one cast but in how cleanly the card splits into two payoffs at two different times, which is exactly what a sacrifice deck wants from its one-drops. There is no built-in recursion; the card asks the deck around it to supply the loop by having a use for both the drone and the mana it leaves behind.
