Prosperous Innkeeper

Creature — Halfling Citizen1 generic manaGreen mana

A green two-drop that fixes and gains life, and does neither loudly enough to headline a deck. The entry Treasure is a single burst of any-color mana: it never recoups the full investment, but it hands you a fungible artifact to smooth a splash, push into a heavier turn, or feed a sacrifice payoff down the line. The recurring lifegain is the more open-ended half, firing on every other creature that follows. Note the asymmetry: the opponent loses nothing, so this is a Soul Sister effect rather than a two-way drain; the life accrues only to you and scales with how wide and how fast a green creature deck goes. That is what pulls the card into go-wide shells and aristocrat builds that recur and recast bodies to re-trigger it. Neither half touches the board beyond the 1/1, and that is the ceiling by design: the Treasure is spent once, the life is pure buffer, and the recurring trigger dies whenever the innkeeper trades down or eats a burn spell. The Treasure is banked the moment it enters; the lifegain engine is the part that ends when the innkeeper does. It looks like a bulk creature and functions as connective tissue, a two-drop that quietly keeps a green go-wide plan humming without ever demanding a build around it.
