Nest Invader

Two bodies for one card, with the second quietly convertible into mana. The green 2/2 arrives alongside a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn, and that token is really a stored mana payment: sacrifice it for one colorless and you have ramped a turn ahead while keeping a creature on the board to swing with. The Spawn is fodder for a sacrifice outlet, chump-block insurance, a chunk of ramp toward something expensive, and an extra body for anything that counts creatures, all riding free on a card you would already play for its stats. The design comes from a wave of Spawn-makers built to feed the appetite of giant colorless threats: the token exists to be spent, and the only question is what you spend it on. The mana ability matters most because it is a colorless source attached to a creature, which gives green decks a body that doubles as a battery when they have no other way to produce colorless. The 2/2 frame is honest; the value lies in treating the token not as a fragile attacker but as an activated mana source you cash in on whatever turn matters most, sacrificing it at instant speed to pay for the spell or ability that needs the extra colorless.
