Disciple of Griselbrand

The repeatable life-converter that asks for almost nothing in return. The activation cost is a single generic mana plus a body, and the payout scales with the sacrificed creature's toughness rather than its power, which quietly biases the card toward soaking up your dying defensive walls and high-toughness tokens for the most life. There is no per-turn limit and no exile clause; given a sacrifice-fodder engine and the mana to run it, the loop is bounded only by how many creatures you can keep feeding it. That makes it a denominator card in life-payment combos: a sink that turns a recurring or token-generating creature into an arbitrarily large lifegain figure, which several drain-and-pay-life strategies want as a counterweight to the life they spend elsewhere. On its own the 1/1 Cleric does nothing relevant: no evasion, no death trigger, no value beyond the activated ability stapled to a fragile frame. The whole proposition is the engine seat. As a standalone aristocrats outlet it is slower and narrower than the sacrifice engines that also produce damage or card flow, since this one only ever buys life. Its niche is the build that has already decided life total is a resource it wants to bank in bulk, where a cheap, uncapped, toughness-scaling sink is exactly the missing piece.
