Brood Weaver

Two blockers for the price of one, staggered across two turns. A 2/4 with reach already trades up against most early fliers and small ground attackers; the death trigger means the aggressor who finally pushes through it inherits a fresh 1/2 with reach waiting on the other side. That is the whole design logic: this is a body built to make attacking into it a losing exchange twice over, and to keep an air defense intact even after the front line falls. The token inheriting reach is the detail that matters, since it preserves the exact job the original was doing rather than leaving a random chump behind. It rewards a sacrifice-adjacent deck too, where the death is a resource rather than a setback, though the card asks nothing of you to be worth its cost: block, die, block again. As a piece of the green defensive tradition it sits closer to Sakura-Tribe Elder's philosophy than to a raw wall, trading its life for value on the way out, except the value here is another obstacle rather than a land. Modest by design, and honest about it: a speed bump that replaces itself once, priced for the ground it holds.
