Creature — Shapeshifter1 generic manaBlue or Black manaBlue or Black mana

Most clones ask you to choose a target up front: the spell resolves, you pick the best creature on the table that instant, and the appraisal is locked. This one inverts the contract. The 1/2 body waits, inert, until something dies, and then for one mana it remakes itself into whatever just hit the yard, retaining the copy ability so the next death is another offer. The result is a creature that becomes the best thing to have died most recently, repeatedly, on your schedule. It rewards a board where things are dying anyway: combat trades, removal aimed at either side, your own sacrifice outlets. The cost is what disciplines it. One mana per transformation, paid every single time, means a busy turn of trades can bleed you dry if you try to upgrade into each one, so the real decision is which death to answer and whether the mana is better spent elsewhere. The Shapeshifter type and the hybrid cost let it slot into either of the two colors most invested in death, but the design lives entirely in timing: it converts the graveyard from a dead zone into a rolling menu, and the appraisal happens at instant speed, after the fact, when you already know what the creature is worth. A slow, grindy clone for the player content to let the table do the dying and pay only when the offer is good.
