Professor of Zoomancy

Creature — Bear Druid3 generic manaGreen mana

The four-mana body reads generous for green (a 4/3 that also arrives with a friend), but the real design work is in what the friend is: a Pest, the black-green token type built to be spent rather than kept. Every Pest carries the same death clause, which turns the token from a chump blocker into a resource with two exits: block once, or feed it to a sacrifice outlet for a life point. That death trigger is the tell. This is not a creature that wants its Pest to survive; it wants a reason to kill it, which is why the design leans toward aristocrat shells and go-wide token counts rather than fair combat. But the enter trigger fires exactly once, so the card is not an engine; it manufactures one stapled body on arrival and offers nothing after. On its own it fills a curve and drops a single incremental token, honest and unremarkable. Slotted next to outlets and payoffs that care about creatures leaving the battlefield, the Pest becomes fuel and the 4/3 becomes a beater that already paid for its own presence. The Bear Druid typing is flavor scaffolding for the enter trigger; the mechanical identity lives entirely in that one small black-and-green body it makes on the way in.
