Skyclave Shade

The recursive two-drop built on a landfall clause that turns your graveyard into a delayed reload. The 3/1 body that can't block is the honest half of the deal: this is a creature that only ever points forward, and its inability to trade defensively is the tax on how hard it hits and how reliably it comes back. The engine is the graveyard cast, gated by three conditions stacked deliberately (it must already be in the yard, it must be your turn, and a land must enter to trigger it), which keeps the loop from being free and ties the recursion to the same land drops fueling a black midrange curve. Every fetch, every extra land off a ramp effect, becomes a chance to re-buy a body the opponent already answered. The kicker is the wrinkle that carries it into the late game: cast it cheap and early, then rebuy it kicked once the mana is there for a 5/3 that keeps returning. Shades have historically leaned on mana-sink pump to stay relevant off flooded lands; this one inverts that relationship, spending the lands themselves as the fuel for its persistence rather than as a pump target. The result is a threat that grinding, removal-heavy decks can never fully close out, because every answer only holds until the next land enters.
