Graveyard Goliath
Splinterfright arrives from Innistrad Remastered as a practical graveyard engine for green decks that want a living threat tied to your yard. With a casting cost of {2}{G} this Elemental scales directly with your play pattern: its power and toughness track the number of creature cards in your graveyard, and it carries trample to convert that mass into damage. The card rewards deliberate milling and creature-based sacrifice lines without demanding elaborate combos.
Its upkeep trigger mills two cards each turn, which accelerates your grave development and turns Splinterfright into both a growing attacker and a self-sustaining threat. In creature-heavy builds or decks that discard and reanimate, Splinterfright is easy to fuel and hard to ignore. From a deckbuilding perspective it pairs cleanly with graveyard recursion, value creatures, and cards that exploit milled creatures for incremental advantage.
