Nyxborn Wolf

Bestow's entire pitch was insurance against card disadvantage: cast the card from hand as an Aura, and when removal takes the host, the enchantment falls off and walks away as a creature instead of dying with it. This green common delivers that promise at its plainest. Cast cheap, it is a 3/1 that trades up and dies to almost anything; pay the inflated bestow cost and it becomes a permanent +3/+1 buff on a single body, one that survives its host's death by reverting to a creature. The gap between those two prices is the design at work. The cheap mode is deliberately fragile: a one-toughness beater is the easiest thing to kill in any format, so the bestow cost runs much steeper than the creature cost to pay for resilience rather than raw stats. The +3/+1 grant mirrors the body it would otherwise be, a tidy bit of symmetry that keeps both modes feeling like the same card wearing different clothes. As the bottom shelf of its bestow cycle, it asks for nothing clever; it just wants a creature already on the table worth making bigger, and a board where the extra few mana for permanence is worth the wait.
