Broodmate Dragon

Creature — Dragon3 generic manaBlack manaRed manaGreen mana

Two bodies for one card, which is the whole pitch. The Jund color identity reads as a value engine, and this is the closer that pays out twice: six mana buys eight power of evasive beef split across two separate creatures, so a single spot-removal spell never trades cleanly against it. That redundancy is the design point. A targeted answer (a Doom Blade, a single burn spell) kills one Dragon and leaves the other 4/4 still in the air, so the opponent's best removal spell only answers half your threat. The token being a real Dragon with flying (not a vanilla blocker, not a token that withers when the original dies) means the two halves operate independently, and that independence is what made it premium top-end for midrange decks built to grind. A board wipe still answers it cleanly, both 4/4s die together, which is the line in the sand: this is insurance against one-for-one removal, not against a sweeper. The cost is what keeps the rate honest: at three colors and six mana it asks for a committed manabase and a clear turn, so it belongs in decks already winning the attrition war rather than ones racing to a fast clock. As midrange top-end it set a template that later split-threat finishers followed: divide your power across multiple bodies so a point of targeted removal answers only part of your investment.
