Wolfbriar Elemental
Multikicker's clearest poster child: a green fatty whose floor is fine and whose ceiling is whatever mana you can pour into it. The base body lands as a serviceable beater, but every extra green you commit while casting it tacks another 2/2 Wolf onto the entry trigger, so a single cast can resolve into a whole board. That structure is what makes it a mana sink in the truest sense: it never asks you to hold up the extra mana or sequence around it, only to have it available the turn you cast the creature, and it scales linearly with no diminishing returns. Where most "X spells" route their flood of mana into a single oversized effect, this one converts surplus into width, and width that arrives all at once rather than across multiple turns. The wrinkle worth noting is timing: because multikicker is paid as the spell is cast, the Wolf count is locked in before anyone can respond, and the tokens all appear together on a single enters trigger rather than as separate castings to pick apart. A removal spell aimed at the Elemental afterward still leaves the pack behind. It is a design that rewards untapping into a glut of green mana and turning it directly into bodies, the kind of payoff that ramp strategies build toward and that anthem and sacrifice effects are happy to find waiting.
