Spirit of Resilience

Graveyard payoffs usually reward filling the yard; this one rewards emptying it. Every time cards leave your graveyard, it grows and, more importantly, offers to become a copy of any artifact or creature card among those departing until end of turn. That inverts the usual recursion tension: instead of hoarding a graveyard as a resource to loop back, you exile, reanimate, or flash back your best fatty and let this 2/2 body wear its stats and abilities for the turn. The trigger keys off any exit event, so eternalize, escape, flashback, delve, and plain-old exile-from-graveyard all feed it, and the counter it leaves behind persists even after the copy effect wears off at cleanup. The design's real cleverness is that it doesn't care what does the leaving: it turns any graveyard-hate effect you aim at your own yard, or any recursion engine, into a shapeshift trigger. Because the copy is optional and temporary, it plays more like a flexible attacker than a permanent transformation: swing as your bomb this turn, revert to a growing Spirit the next. It asks you to build a graveyard worth mining not to reuse the cards but to borrow their bodies on the way out.
