Cloudgoat Ranger

Five mana for four bodies and a built-in payoff for going wide is a deal the Kithkin tribe was practically printed to make. The math is the appeal: the Ranger arrives as a 3/3 trailing three 1/1 Kithkin Soldiers, dropping six power across four creatures onto the board in a single cast, exactly the kind of saturation a token-aggro deck wants the turn before it swings. The second ability folds the tokens back into a finisher rather than leaving them as chump fodder: tapping three untapped Kithkin (the ones it just made, or any others the deck has assembled) turns the Ranger into a 5/3 flyer that sails over the ground stall its own go-wide plan tends to create. There is a real tension in that activation. Tapping three Kithkin is tapping three attackers, so the boost trades board presence for evasion: you are choosing between a wide swing and a tall one, not getting both. That self-limiting cost is the discipline holding the card in check, and it rewards a board built deep enough that committing three blockers or attackers to the activation still leaves a threatening battlefield. White weenie has always argued that a critical mass of small bodies, properly arranged, beats a smaller number of large ones; the Ranger states the case in a single cast and then proposes the exception, where one of those bodies becomes large enough to close on its own.
