Hunted Nightmare

The 4/5 menace body is an aggressive rate for three mana, and the "hunted" downside is how the design pays for it. Where the older Hunted cycle handed opponents raw board presence (Hunted Horror's minotaurs, Hunted Dragon's knights), this one gives them something subtler: a deathtouch counter to place on a creature they already control, chosen by them, aimed squarely back at you. The tension is the whole point. Your 4/5 wants to punch through two blockers, but any creature carrying that counter now trades with it for nothing. The gift is drafted to blunt exactly the thing the body is best at: attacking. The placement happens once, on resolution of the enter-the-battlefield trigger, and it stays where it lands; without outside help, the opponent cannot relocate that counter to a fresh blocker later, so the threat it creates is fixed to a single creature from the moment it arrives. That single point of contact is also the drawback's weakness. Because the counter rides a creature rather than an aura or a spell, removal cuts both ways: kill the deathtouch creature and the downside evaporates entirely, leaving you with a clean menace beater. It becomes a race between your clock and the opponent's ability to keep their poisoned blocker alive long enough to matter.
