Thicket Crasher
The tribal lord that trades the usual boost for a piece of evasion, and the choice tells you what Elemental decks actually lacked. Where most anthem creatures hand out power and toughness, this one hands out trample: the assumption being that an Elemental board is already big enough to swing, just not connecting through blockers. Its own 4/3 body with trample fits that read exactly, a beater that wants a crowd behind it rather than a single anthem-fueled attacker. The lord effect is also strictly outward-facing (it grants trample only to the Elementals around it, never to itself, which already has the keyword printed), so the card is doing two separate jobs in one slot: contributing a competent attacker and turning a wide Elemental line into one that punishes chump blocks. That is a narrower mandate than a stat-pumping lord, but a sharper one, since trample is precisely the ability that converts a stalled ground assault into lethal math. Green's Elemental support has never been deep enough to make this a household name, but the design is a clean statement of what a green tribal payoff should do when the tribe's problem is getting through, not getting bigger.
