Creature — Beast4 generic manaGreen manaGreen mana

The threshold of power 5 is the whole engine: this rewards a battlefield stocked with genuinely large bodies, which means it slots into the kind of green ramp deck that flings out fatties faster than they can stick. Every time a five-power-or-greater creature lands beside it, you reload a creature from the graveyard back to hand, turning each big drop into a recursion trigger. That structure has a specific texture to it: it is not a sacrifice loop or a reanimation spell that puts the body straight into play, but a slower, additive value engine that asks you to keep casting threats and refunds you a card for the trouble. The five-power gate is what pays for the effect; it shuts out the small-creature decks that would otherwise abuse a free recall on every two-drop, and it keeps the trigger honest by tying it to exactly the kind of board green most wants to build anyway. The body itself sits comfortably in that bracket, so it counts toward enabling its own siblings without being the trigger. It is a green answer to the perennial question of how big-creature strategies recover from a wrath: not by protecting the board, but by ensuring the graveyard is never a dead end as long as the threats keep coming.
