Soulbond's purest aggression test. The mechanic was built to spread a static effect across two bodies, but most of the cycle parceled out modest keywords or small numbers; this one hands +4/+4 to itself and to whatever it pairs with, turning a 4/4 for five into an 8/8 that also shoves a partner four power higher than it was a moment ago. The catch is structural rather than written: the buff lives entirely in the pairing, so killing either half doesn't merely trade, it strips four power off the survivor and snaps the bonus back. Take the partner and this drops to a 4/4 whose ability now sits idle until another creature enters; take this one and the partner reverts to its printed stats. That fragility is the price of the rate. The bond can re-form when a fresh creature arrives, but the math is only ever as durable as your two best bodies on the table at once. The clean comparison is to the auras and pump spells green has always leaned on to push a beater past the curve, except those cost a card you lose to the same removal. Here the body and the buff ride a single card, so the downside is symmetry instead of card disadvantage: when both halves stick, the arithmetic wins races outright; the instant one dies, the +4/+4 collapses with it.
