Magus of the Coffers
Cabal Coffers reprinted as a creature, with the math left untouched: the same activation, the same one black mana for every Swamp you control. What the translation changes is not the rate but the slot it lives in. The land version hid in the manabase, hard to target, immune to the edicts and burn that police the battlefield, patient enough to sit until the moment it mattered. This version has to stand on the battlefield as a 4/4 body, vulnerable to the removal that clears any midrange creature, and tap through summoning sickness before it pays off. That exposure is the cost of redundancy: heavy-Swamp black decks that already prized the original now get a second copy of an engine they cannot have too many of, drawing one when the other is gone or running both for a steeper snowball. The constraint is identical for both, because both scale with Swamp count rather than basics specifically: any land with the Swamp type, shocklands and triomes included, feeds the engine, while colorless utility lands and non-Swamp duals are what thin it. As an accelerant it ranks among the steepest black has ever offered, and like the land it doubles, it lives and dies on how deep your Swamp count runs before the answer arrives. The only real difference is that this engine can be killed in combat or chump-blocked, which the original never could.
