God-Eternal Rhonas
The whole cycle of God-Eternals shares one design promise: you never quite finish them off. Point a Doom Blade at this one and the death trigger lets it slide into your library third from the top, so a clean removal spell buys a few draw steps, not a real answer. The body is where the green member diverges from its siblings. Deathtouch on a 5/5 makes it a wall on defense and a threat that trades up against anything, but the entrance trigger is the reason to build around it: doubling the power of every other creature you control and handing out vigilance converts a wide board into a lethal alpha strike in a single attack step, and the vigilance means those doubled attackers stay home to guard the crackback. It rewards a green go-wide plan the way a finisher should, turning incremental creatures into a burst of damage the turn it lands. The recursion clause is what makes committing to that plan safe: an opponent's clean answer becomes a tempo tax rather than a two-for-one, so you can lean on the enters trigger again across a long game. Green's payoff Gods have usually been about raw stats or ramp; this one is a combat-math detonator with an insurance policy stapled to it, which is a harder thing to race than a plain 5/5 with a keyword.
