Flourishing Hunter

Creature — Wolf Spirit4 generic manaGreen manaGreen mana

The lifegain here is priced as a rider on a body that would already be a fine curve-topper: a 6/6 for six is a fair rate in green even without the trigger. What makes the trigger worth reading twice is that it scales off the greatest toughness among your other creatures, not power, so it rewards a board built out of durable blockers rather than glass-cannon beaters. Green has always paired big toughness with lifegain (the tradition runs back through Loxodon Hierarch and its descendants), but most of those cards gain a flat number. Tying the amount to what your fattest survivor is sitting on turns a cast into a reading of your own board state, and it punishes you for casting this into an empty field: the trigger does nothing if you control nothing else worth measuring. It is a topdeck stabilizer that wants to arrive when you are already ahead on board, not a Hail Mary when you are behind. That inversion, where the card is best precisely when you least need the life, is the honest limit of the design; the body carries the rest of the weight.
