Izoni, Center of the Web
Izoni, Center of the Web is a pragmatic tool for mid to late game decks that lean into token generation and incremental advantage. Casting Izoni for {4}{B}{B} gives you a 5/4 menace body that pressures blockers and forces decisions. Whenever Izoni enters the battlefield or attacks you may collect evidence 4 and, if you do, populate the board with two 2/1 black and green Spider creature tokens that have menace and reach. The triggers are straightforward to sequence and reward attacking lines that otherwise would shy away from trades.
The card also converts an army of tokens into card advantage and life. Sacrificing four tokens nets Surveil 2 then lets you draw two cards and gain two life. That loop closes out longer games by refilling your hand and stabilizing life totals. Izoni fits well in creature heavy builds, aristocrat shells and any list that values repeatable generators and tempo plays in the Murders at Karlov Manor environment.
