Brion Stoutarm
The fling-on-a-stick. Where a one-shot like Fling throws a creature's power at a face and burns itself out, this turns the same trick into a repeatable engine: tap, pay a red, sacrifice, and the body sticks around to do it again next turn. The crucial design wrinkle is that the damage scales off the sacrificed creature's power, not Brion's, which inverts the usual logic of a beatstick. Suddenly a fat token, an overgrown trampler, or anything you can inflate becomes ammunition, and the bigger the creature you feed it, the harder the swing. The lifelink is doing quiet double duty here: it gains on combat, but it also frames the card's whole proposition, which is converting board presence into life swings from across the table without ever needing to attack. That sacrifice clause targets a player or planeswalker directly, so blockers and damage prevention on creatures do not enter the equation; the only gate is having a creature worth throwing and the mana to throw it. It is the rare red-white legend built around generating value out of creatures dying rather than keeping them alive, and it gave the Boros sacrifice deck a finisher that did not care how it got its bodies, only how big they were on the way out.
