Hunted Witness

Two bodies for one mana, and that arithmetic is the point: this card exists to convert one fragile thing into a slightly more useful fragile thing. The first body trades away willingly. It chump-blocks, feeds a sacrifice outlet, or attacks into a soft removal spell, and its death hands you a replacement that does work the original could not. The Soldier token comes with lifelink, which quietly upgrades the floor of any go-wide plan; a board of these tokens does not just race, it gains life on every point of combat damage, so an anthem effect turns the swarm into a clock and a stabilizer at once. The design lives at the intersection of two builder-friendly axes: it is a token producer that costs almost nothing to deploy, and it is a death-trigger that wants to be killed, which slots it cleanly into both aristocrat shells (where the trigger is the payload) and aggressive white decks (where the lifelink is insurance against the mirror). The body itself is what holds it modest: a 1/1 that makes a 1/1 is not generating raw card advantage. What it offers is resilience, not power, and that is a deliberate niche. Cards that resist a single removal spell or a single profitable block are doing structural work for decks that prize a low, sticky curve over individual heft.
