Moldervine Reclamation

Enchantment3 generic manaBlack manaGreen mana

The Golgari draw engine that trades the token-swarm approach for a permanent, no-strings payoff: every creature death, yours by any means, refunds a card and a point of life. Where earlier aristocrat engines like Grim Haruspex asked for nontoken creatures or Midnight Reaper charged you life for each trigger, this one takes neither toll. It fires on tokens, it fires on chump blocks, it fires on the whole board dying to a wrath, and it never asks for anything back beyond the five mana it costs to land. That symmetry-free generosity is also what pins it to a specific kind of deck: on its own the enchantment is inert, a do-nothing until bodies start dying, so the payoff scales exactly with how much sacrifice fodder and how many free tokens the shell can manufacture. The design is deliberately front-loaded toward the grind: no lifegain ceiling, no per-turn cap, no exile clause to slow the recursion loops it enables. Point it at a stalled aristocrats board and the death step, the phase most decks treat as loss, becomes the phase this one is built to profit from, each sacrifice converting into card advantage until the fodder runs out.
