Masked Admirers

Creature — Elf Shaman2 generic manaGreen manaGreen mana

The enters-the-battlefield draw is the obvious half: a 3/2 that replaces itself is unremarkable. The buyback-from-the-graveyard clause is the half that builds an engine, because it untethers the card draw from a single life cycle. Every creature spell you cast offers to spend Green manaGreen mana and pull this back from the yard, where it waits to be recast for another card. The result is a recurring draw spell with a body attached, paid out in installments: cast a creature, pay two, redraw next turn. The design discipline is the doubled green pip and the per-creature ceiling. You cannot loop it freely; each return is gated behind another creature spell and a real mana commitment, so a green deck heavy on bodies turns it into a slow grind advantage rather than a combo piece. It rewards a board that keeps developing anyway and punishes nothing it would not already be doing. The Elf Shaman line is incidental to what the card is doing structurally, which is collapsing the cost of card advantage into the mana you were spending to deploy threats. That makes it a fixture for the patient, creature-dense green strategies that win on attrition: you do not cast it once, you cast it as many times as the game lets you afford.
