Snow Creature — Elk1 generic manaGreen mana

Deploy anything before it, and this elk swings for four. That is the whole aggressive proposition: the buff doesn't care what the second creature is or how big it was, only that one entered under your control this turn. A token, a second one-drop, a flicker target, all of them flip a modest green body into a genuine two-mana threat. Where a lord or an anthem scales with board width, this scales with tempo: it pays you for playing on curve and flooding early, then flatlines the instant your development stalls. That fragility is the point. The rate would be a mispricing only if it came free, and it doesn't; the "this turn" clause strips the bonus in every cleanup step you fail to feed it, so the ceiling is rented, never owned. The snow supertype is a small design flourish rather than the operative text; this is built for a go-wide deck that spends every turn adding to the board, not a controlling shell that lands one threat and holds up removal. It belongs to a familiar green tradition of cheap beaters whose full value is conditional rather than guaranteed, trading the reliability of a vanilla body for a ceiling a slower deck can never reach.
