Prosperity Tycoon

Creature — Human Noble3 generic manaWhite mana

The interesting tension here is a 4/2 that wants two contradictory things. That body is glass: it dies to any incidental damage, trades down in most combat, and offers a fragile clock. But the enter trigger hands you a token, and the second ability feeds that token (or any token) into a sacrifice cost that makes the Tycoon impossible to destroy for a turn. Crucially, tapping the Tycoon is part of the effect, not the price, so the sequencing is friendlier than it looks: swing with it, then during your opponent's turn crack a token to blank a removal spell or shrug off a wrath. Note the constraint that pays for that resilience: only tokens qualify as fuel, so the ability lives or dies on how many disposable bodies you can generate. The Mercenary the enter trigger leaves behind pulls the design in a second direction: a sorcery-speed +1/+0 pump on a single creature before combat, the kind of nudge that pushes a lone evasive attacker into lethal or lets a trade break your way. Read together, the two halves conflict: the Mercenary wants creatures worth pumping, and the sacrifice ability wants disposable bodies to spend keeping the fragile 4/2 alive. It is a card built to convert width into resilience, spending tokens to protect the one body that matters, an unusually aristocrat-flavored answer to removal for a color that usually just plays another creature.
