Shadowbeast Sighting

Two 4/4 bodies from one card, staggered across the game: the first for four mana up front, the second for seven when you return to it later. That back-loaded second cast is the whole pitch. A vanilla 4/4 for four is a rate green has offered plainly for years, but flashback converts this into a slow-drip resource that survives every sweeper, every discard spell, every point of hand disruption by simply refusing to stay dead. Where most token-makers spend their value the moment they leave your hand, this one banks half in the graveyard, unspendable until you have the mana and the tempo to want a second body. The steep flashback price of seven mana buys the token at a stage when four-power beaters have usually stopped swinging games, which frames the second cast as inevitability rather than acceleration: you cast it when the mana is spare, not when the board is tight. It is grind insurance more than it is a beater, the kind of card that outlasts an opponent's answers because your threats were always going to arrive one wave longer than their removal.
