Lord of Extinction
The body is a referendum on every graveyard at the table, your opponents' included. Where most graveyard payoffs count only your own discard pile or care about a single card type, this elemental tallies the lot: every fetchland crack, every cantrip, every dead creature on either side of the board feeds it, which means its size is partly an opponent's problem to control and partly impossible for them to control at all. That shared-resource counting is the whole point of the design, and it cuts two ways. Against a deck that grinds, the number balloons on its own; against a deck that empties its hand and trades, you supply the fuel yourself. The catch is that none of that bulk sticks: it has no evasion, no trample of its own, no protection, so a creature this large is still just a creature that has to connect or get traded down. The reward is the explosive ceiling: in a game that has gone long, the count can reach a place where a single connection ends things, and pairing it with a way to make the damage matter (trample, an unblockable enabler, a sacrifice-for-value outlet) is the natural build-around. It belongs to the lineage of graveyard-as-power-and-toughness creatures that scale with the game's own progress rather than with your investment, and its insistence on counting all graveyards makes it the most volatile of them.
