Nylea's Forerunner

Enchantment Creature — Beast4 generic manaGreen mana

The 5/3 body is the tell: five mana buys a beast that trades toughness for reach, not a threat meant to grind through combat but one meant to end it. Trample on the Forerunner itself barely registers; the payload is the second line, handing every other creature you control the same keyword. That turns a wide green board into a wall of overflow damage where chump blocks stop working and the defender's math falls apart one gang-block at a time. It is a static anthem stapled to an aggressive frame, leaning hard into the direction green already wants to go: go wide, make blocking a losing proposition, and let the surplus damage carry over. Where Overrun fires its grant once and evaporates, this one keeps the keyword on the battlefield: the pressure persists as long as the enchantment does, and every fresh token or mana dork you deploy inherits trample the moment it lands. That persistent grant is what separates the card from a bigger vanilla body; the fragile back end is the honest price of the reach. The result is a build-around that asks for bodies first and abandons subtlety entirely. It does nothing to protect itself, and it does not need to, because a green board wide enough to want this card is closing the game before the three toughness ever becomes the liability it looks like.
