A defensive body that manufactures a token every time it swings, and the shape of that token is the whole design puzzle. The Darkstar clause is written as a guarded ownership check rather than a repeatable trigger: it only fires when you don't already control the token, so the second Darkstar never materializes while the first is alive. That turns a 2/4 into a slow, self-limiting engine, one that rebuilds its escort only after the escort dies. Because Darkstar carries legendary supertype itself, the check has teeth beyond the printed conditional: even if you found another way to make a second copy, the legend rule would eat it. The card wants a body on the ground and a companion beside it, and it politely refuses to flood the board past that pair. The value comes not from tokens stacking but from the persistence of the arrangement, which is a quieter reward than the attack trigger's language suggests at a glance. It is a leader who keeps exactly one guard dog, and replaces it only when it falls.
