Rona, Sheoldred's Faithful
A life-loss-on-cast body is a common enough spellslinger incentive; what sets this Wizard apart is that killing it only buys tempo, never a clean answer. Pay the four mana, discard two cards, and it climbs back out of the graveyard as many times as your hand can afford, which quietly rewrites what a spellslinging deck wants in its yard. Discard fodder becomes fuel, a board wipe becomes a speed bump rather than a reset, and answering the creature permanently means exiling it rather than trading it. The throttle sits on the ping, not on the return: each instant or sorcery clips every opponent for exactly one, so the clock scales with volume, not with any single big turn. That pushes deckbuilding toward a churn of one- and two-mana spells instead of one expensive haymaker, and it makes the 3/4 body more relevant than it first reads, since a resilient attacker that also drains life on every cantrip forces a two-front answer. The name gestures at Sheoldred's flavor of attrition, and the mechanics honor it: a life-loss engine that asks you to spend cards to keep it on the table, and rewards you for wanting those cards in the graveyard to begin with. Whether it leads a deck built around cheap spellslinging or sits among a value-oriented supporting cast, it presents the same self-recurring clock.
