Haruspex

Creature — Tyranid3 generic manaGreen mana

Two things green sacrifice shells always want, welded into one 2/2 body. The first is the growth engine every aristocrats plan asks for: a counter for each creature that dies, whoever controls it, so the attrition happening anyway feeds this card passively while everything else does the dying. The second half is the reversal that gives the design its point. Instead of hoarding a stack of counters as a threat, those counters cash out as ritual mana in any single color, converting the deck's steady stream of death triggers into a fixed, color-agnostic battery. The counters are simultaneously the payoff for sacrifice and the fuel for the next spell, and the card forces a decision each turn: leave it a beater, or empty it to power a haymaker. The 2/2 base is the honest tax on all of it; strip away the graveyard churning around it and the engine starves, so its ceiling is entirely a function of how many creatures you are willing to feed it. It reads like a mana dork built backward, generating ramp out of the same corpses an aristocrats plan produces on its own, then dumping that mana in a burst rather than a trickle.
