Spike-Tailed Ceratops
Defensive multiblock is one of green's quiet specialties, and this dinosaur exists to make the math of a ground stall lopsided. A 4/4 that holds two attackers at once turns one body into the answer to a wide assault: the opponent has to commit a third creature past it to push damage through, and even then the Ceratops eats one of the swing and survives most of what it absorbs. The design is purely about the defensive ledger. There is no deathtouch to make the second block punishing, no reach to extend the coverage skyward, just the additional-blocker line that lets a single creature do the work of two on the back foot. That narrowness is the point: it is a wall with legs, sized to trade up in combat rather than just chump twice. Green has printed grander versions of the additional-block idea over the years (creatures that block any number of attackers, or that hand the keyword out to a team), but the plain ground-pounder shape here is the unglamorous baseline, the body that stabilizes a board without demanding anything beyond its mana.
