Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender
A 3/1 for two that is, per its own type line, a Food: a Knight built to eat its own kingdom. Every artifact you lose from the battlefield feeds it a +1/+1 counter and a scry, so the Food and Treasure and Clue tokens other decks treat as spent resources become growth here, and the sacrifice line at the bottom cashes the accumulated body back into life at whatever power the counters have reached. The trample-hexproof-haste package is the wrinkle the whole card hinges on: it only switches on when an opponent controls a planeswalker, turning a slow value engine into an immediate, untargetable clock the moment someone tries to plan a game around a walker. Left alone, this is a patient piece that wants a graveyard's worth of dead artifacts to grow into. Point it at a planeswalker and it cannot be picked off with spot removal, and the trample means chump blockers only slow the counter attack rather than stop it. What results is a creature that scales with a whole style of play (artifact churn, token sacrifice, the constant recycling of small permanents) rather than with any single combo, and rewards a board that treats its own artifacts as fuel instead of as finished business.
