Sling-Gang Lieutenant
Three bodies for four mana, arriving as one flimsy 1/1 and two token Goblins, is the setup for a payoff that reads nowhere on the type line: an aristocrats package folded into a single creature. Every Goblin on the board, including the Lieutenant itself, is a stored point of reach that swaps to the face at instant speed. The design's real trick is that the drain and the outlet live on the same card. A Blood Artist effect waits on some other engine to feed it; this one manufactures the fodder and consumes it too, converting the pile it just made into a repeatable, mana-free drain, three life on demand from the bodies in front of it. The design leans on Goblin as a tribe with existing token-generation infrastructure, so the sacrifice fodder tends to arrive faster than the card can spend it. The loop never spirals because the drain moves one life at a time and the fodder is finite: no engine, just a reservoir that empties as fast as you dump it. It slots naturally beside a tribe that keeps refilling its own board (Krenko, Mob Boss and the wide pile of token-makers around it), where the fodder count stops being a hard cap, and it rewards a board already tilted toward the go-wide plan the tribe was built around.
