Skullspore Nexus: Grow with Every Fall
The Skullspore Nexus channels battlefield math into raw board advantage. As a Legendary Artifact it reduces its own casting cost by the greatest creature power you control, letting a single massive attacker transform this card from a late game topdeck into a midgame engine. Experienced players will note how the Nexus bends timing and sequencing; play it when your biggest creature is already on the table or hold creatures back to maximize the discount on its cast.
When your nontoken creatures die the Nexus converts loss into a green Fungus Dinosaur token whose base power and toughness equal the combined power of the fallen. That interaction rewards wide, big creature boards and makes sacrifice and combat trades threatening to opponents. The activated ability that doubles a creature s power until end of turn gives you an extra push for lethal or for surprising trades. The Skullspore Nexus is straightforward to pilot and fits decks that convert creature strength into persistent value.
