Nacatl War-Pride
The lure-and-clone mechanic packs an entire battle into one attack step. The first clause forces the defending player to commit exactly one blocker, which reads as a tax until you reach the second: every creature the defender controls, including that lone forced blocker, spawns a tapped, attacking copy. The result is an attack that scales with the opponent's own board, so the wider their defense, the more War-Prides come crashing in. Each token also carries the must-be-blocked-by-one clause, which means a defender with five creatures suddenly faces a wave of new attackers, each demanding a separate blocker: a math problem with no clean solution. The copies are exiled at the next end step, so this is a one-turn windfall rather than a permanent army; the design pays for its explosive output with impermanence and a vulnerability between attacks, when the body is just a 3/3 for six. What makes the card tick is the feedback loop between its two clauses: punishing an opponent for having blockers by turning each into a fresh threat is a far stranger and more aggressive bargain than a vanilla green fatty, and the wider the board it attacks into, the more lopsided the exchange becomes.
