Immaculate Magistrate

Creature — Elf Shaman3 generic manaGreen mana

The payoff that makes Elf tribal an arithmetic problem rather than a tempo plan. Most tribal lords add a flat bonus per body; this one converts your whole board into a single multiplicative spike on one creature, scaling the way an unbounded "for each" effect scales: the more Elves already on the table, the more lopsided each tap becomes. What separates it from an anthem is that the counters land on a single target rather than spreading across the team, so you have to pick a carrier and funnel the whole count onto it. That makes each activation a fragile, all-in proposition (a removal spell in response eats the entire investment), but it also means the bonus is permanent and stacks across turns, which a static lord's pump never does. Tap it twice over two turns and you are not adding sixteen power, you are adding it where it threatens lethal in a single connection. The deckbuilding incentive runs in one direction only: flood the board first, then narrow everything onto one body, the inverse of how token-and-anthem decks sequence into a wide alpha strike. It rewards going as wide as possible, then collapsing to a knife point. The 2/2 body is incidental; the value lives entirely in the tap, and the tap turns a stalled green board into a one-shot kill rather than a slow grind.
