Somberwald Beastmaster
The body is a decoy. Seven mana for a 1/1 looks like a bad joke until you read the second line: everything the entrance trigger dumps onto the battlefield (a 2/2 Wolf, a 3/3 Beast, a 4/4 Beast) arrives with deathtouch, and so does every token you make afterward. That deathtouch anthem is the real payload, and it points the card away from the "big green stompy" read the Beast tribe usually invites. Nine points of power spread across three bodies is unremarkable at this cost; nine points of power that all trade up into anything they touch is a different math problem entirely, because deathtouch converts raw power into a threat-of-removal that scales with how wide you go rather than how big. A one-power token deletes a dragon in combat. The static ability is also blind to token size and source, so a token-generation engine that has nothing to do with green creatures suddenly turns every 1/1 into a removal spell on legs. But the anthem is a static ability on the Ranger's own body, not a lasting keyword handed off: kill the Beastmaster and every token loses deathtouch the moment it dies. That fragility is the tension the card is built around. It wants to seed a wide board of expendable bodies and make them lethal, yet the whole conversion depends on a 1/1 staying alive to project it. The entrance tokens are the seed and the demonstration; the payoff only holds while the frail Ranger who grants it does.
