Roar of the Crowd
Burn that scales with your board's tribal density: the more permanents of a chosen type you control, the bigger the bolt. This is the tribal-payoff burn spell, a way to convert a wide, synergistic board into a single point of reach for a deck already committed to one creature type. The wrinkle is that it counts permanents, not creatures, so token-makers, tribal lands, and even artifacts or enchantments that share the chosen type all feed the total: a Goblin deck humming with Goblin tokens, or an Elf swarm, can turn four mana into a finishing blow to the face. The trouble is the same trouble every payoff-by-count spell carries: drawn before the tribe is assembled, it points at nothing; drawn into an empty board, it sits dead in hand. That sequencing dependence is the cost the design pays for its ceiling. It sits in the lineage of board-state-as-damage effects, where the spell itself is a blank and the deck around it supplies the multiplier. Where most tribal payoffs pump bodies or generate cards, this one points the accumulated count outward as a removal-or-reach option, which is a narrower job but a more flexible one: it answers a creature or closes a game with the same words.
