Dauntless Dourbark

Creature — Treefolk Warrior3 generic manaGreen mana

The body counts two populations at once: every Forest you control and every Treefolk you control, and because the Dourbark is itself a Treefolk, a four-mana cast off four Forests already lands as a 5/5 (four Forests plus itself), with every additional Treefolk pushing the count up by one regardless of what those creatures otherwise do. That double-counting is the whole arithmetic, but the trample clause reveals the brake built in beside it: trample only switches on while you control another Treefolk, so the card refuses to be a standalone threat and insists on the supporting cast it was built to reward. A Forest-only build leaves a fat but groundbound creature that a lone chump blocker can stonewall. Lean into the tribe and the picture inverts: each additional Treefolk simultaneously grows the body and turns on the trample that lets all that bulk spill through a blocker, so the same card that wanted a deep mana base also wants a wide one. Its stats come largely from the rest of your permanents, but unlike a pure lord that only buffs others, it brings its own bulk to the field. It is the count-the-board creature and the payoff that count was meant to feed, resolved into a single casting.

Dauntless Dourbark's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Forests you control plus the number of Treefolk you control. This creature has trample as long as you control another Treefolk.
