Terrian, World Tyrant

Nine power for five mana with no strings attached: a body that hits as hard as green's top-end haymakers while costing what a midrange threat costs. That rate is the whole pitch, and green pays for it the way it usually does, by handing you a lot of stats and nothing else. There is no trigger to bank, no death payoff to soften a trade, no evasion to guarantee the damage lands. A 9/7 ends games in short order if it connects and answers to a single removal spell if it does not. The 7 toughness is the number doing the quiet work here: it sits above three-damage burn and the smaller sweepers that would clip a lesser fatty, so the body sticks against decks leaning on cheap point removal even as it folds to a clean one-for-one. The tension is entirely about tempo. A vanilla five-drop is a beat behind the cards that staple card advantage or protection onto their stat lines, so Terrian belongs to plans content to win the race on raw size rather than out-carding the table. It is the archetypal green beater built for a strategy that has already decided combat math is the game, committing to that plan without apology or a safety net.
