Laid to Rest

Enchantment3 generic manaGreen mana

Two death-triggered payoffs stapled to one enchantment, pointed at two green subthemes that rarely share a decklist. The first half wants a Human-heavy board, the tribal shell where creatures trade in combat and each casualty quietly refills your hand. The second half wants +1/+1 counters, the domain of graft-and-proliferate builds where creatures are bigger, fewer, and harder to kill. Bolting both onto a single card is a hedge: whichever direction a deck leans, one line fires, and the rare build straddling both gets a passive engine that turns every unfavorable trade into cards or life. Its restraint comes from paying only when creatures die; it never touches the board directly. It sits back and converts attrition into resources, rewarding a deck built to lose creatures cheaply rather than protect them. That is a specific ask: sacrifice fodder, expendable tokens, chump blockers you were spending anyway. Against a grinder working through your board, it is a steady drip of advantage; against a deck that ignores your creatures, it is a blank. The split-personality text reads like a card assembled from two smaller ideas, and in a sense it was: a single payoff pointed at whichever of green's death-adjacent archetypes a deck happens to run, without committing to either.
