Kin-Tree Invocation

Two mana for a token whose size mirrors your best wall, and that single design choice points the card away from the curve and toward the durdle. Most token-makers price the body up front; this one outsources it, reading the greatest toughness among your creatures on resolution and stapling that number to both halves of an X/X. The implication is that you are not casting it to fill a curve gap but to convert defense into offense: a parked toughness statline that was only ever blocking suddenly spawns a beater of equal heft, and the original wall stays put. It rewards a board built tall rather than wide, which is an unusual thing for a two-drop to ask. The Spirit Warrior typing reads as a tribal hook more than flavor, but the real lever is the toughness clause, which scales with anything you can inflate: an enchantment that pumps the back number, a creature with a naturally lopsided body, a counter or two. Resolve it into an empty board and X is zero, so you make a 0/0 that dies on the spot before it can do anything: the card is a conditional, not a staple. That conditionality is the whole transaction: cheap to cast in exchange for a deckbuilding premise you have to actually satisfy, and the cost asks you to commit to both colors by turn two, before you have even proven you can pay off the toughness.
