Pretending Poxbearers

A body that refuses to leave for free. The 2/1 trades or chumps like any two-drop, but the death trigger hands you a 1/1 back, so the exchange is never one-for-nothing: a removal spell nets the opponent a corpse and you a replacement, and a block that kills it still leaves a warm body on your side. That resilience is what feeds a sacrifice engine, since the token gives an aristocrats deck a second thing to throw at an outlet after the original goes. The hybrid mana keeps it honest across two colors without demanding either specifically, which matters more for the token-generation shell it wants to live in than for its own modest stats. The Ally type on both the creature and the token is where the design actually earns its keep: the trigger doesn't just replace a warm body, it replaces a body of the same tribe, so payoffs that count Allies keep their count intact through combat and removal. This is a go-wide creature-type build's ideal two-drop, rewarding you for casting bodies that stay counted after they die. Nothing about the rate is flashy, and it was never meant to be; it fills a slot in a deck that cares more about how many creatures of a type you have on the board than how large any one of them is.
