Greenbelt Radical
A 4/4 for four in green with nothing on its face card is a body priced to be ignored, and that is the design working exactly as intended: the payoff hides behind the flip. Cast hidden for , it arrives as an unassuming 2/2 shielded by ward from the removal that would otherwise clip it, buying time while the rest of your board fills in. The reveal is where the card earns its cost. Paying
to unmask it fires the trigger, and that trigger doesn't merely swell this creature; it stamps a +1/+1 counter onto every creature you control and hands the whole team trample for the turn. Because the counter count scales with your board, the reward folds into the go-wide plan rather than stranding on a single card. Disguise is load-bearing here: it lets a battlefield-wide anthem masquerade as a placeholder, so any face-down 2/2 you leave alone might be an army-wide swing waiting on seven mana. The steep flip cost is what keeps that from being a free ambush. You telegraph the threat by holding mana up, and the opponent decides whether to force the issue before you assemble it. The distinction from a one-shot overrun is durability: the trample fades, but the counters stay, so even a bluffed reveal leaves you permanently bigger. It wants a wide board of small creatures, where one counter apiece compounds into lethal arithmetic.
