Torsten, Founder of Benalia

The seven is the whole design language here, and it runs both ways. Enter, and you dig seven deep for a haul of creatures and lands (an on-color refuel that trims spells you didn't want off the top and never touches your hand size with junk); die, and you leave behind seven 1/1 soldiers to replace the body you just lost. That symmetry is what separates Torsten from the usual big green-white beater with a stapled ETB: the death trigger is not insurance so much as the card's second gear, turning a removal spell aimed at a 7/7 into a token swarm that keeps your board presence intact. It rewards the player who is happy to feed Torsten into a block or a wrath, which is a genuinely different incentive from the fatties that beg to survive. The selection clause is precise in a way that matters, too: it grabs only creatures and lands and bottoms everything else at random, so it rebuilds a resource base rather than a spell engine, and the conditional nature is the honest cost (if the top seven are all sorceries and instants, you keep nothing). Founder of Benalia is fitting for a leader whose legacy outlives him, and the mechanics lean into it: whether the payoff arrives as a full grip on entry or a wall of soldiers on death, Torsten's contribution to the fight does not end when the creature does.
