Lagomos, Hand of Hatred

Every turn this feeds itself: a disposable 2/1 with trample and haste that swings once and dies at end step, contributing one body to the very death count it needs to reach five. That gate is what makes the tutor a puzzle rather than a value engine. Five creatures dying in a single turn is a real ask, so the token is a start, not a solution; you need a sacrifice outlet, a board wipe, a Blood Artist shell, or an aristocrats loop pushing bodies through to unlock an unrestricted search for any card. The design pairs a slow, recurring resource (one token per combat) with an explosive, conditional one (the search), and the tension between them is the whole build. A 1/3 that keeps its head down while the graveyard fills is the right frame: this is not a card that wins combat, it is a card that counts corpses. What it rewards is a deck already committed to death triggers, one where five creatures dying is routine rather than a heroic effort, at which point every turn hands you a chosen card. Absent that engine, the token is a modest chip-damage clock and the search a line you will rarely tap into. Lagomos does not build the aristocrats deck; it demands one already exist, then hands it a tutor.
