Silverback Shaman
The green answer to a green problem: the color that struggles most to draw cards, attached to a body the color loves to trade in combat. Green's card-advantage tools have always leaned on creatures dying or attacking rather than clean instant-speed draw, and this design leans all the way in. The rate is deliberately unspectacular for a 5/4, because the second line does the pricing: a trampler that refunds a card whenever it hits the graveyard cannot be answered cheaply. Trade it in combat and you draw; kill it with a removal spell and you draw; chump-block a bigger threat and you draw. The only clean answers are exile or bounce, and the death trigger turns every conventional removal spell into a two-for-one that favors its controller. It never runs away with a game the way a card-advantage engine can, but it also never leaves you empty-handed, which is exactly the reassurance green midrange has historically wanted from its top end. The trample matters here too, since it means the 5/4 keeps pressing damage through blockers rather than sitting back, so the death-draw is a bonus on a card already doing offensive work rather than a consolation for a do-nothing body.
