Moseo, Vein's New Dean

—

Moseo is a 3cmc mono-black legendary creature that creates a Pest token on ETB and provides a repeatable end-step reanimation trigger scaled to how much life you gained that turn. The Pest token's combat-lifegain fuels the Infusion reanimation loop, making Moseo a self-contained lifegain-reanimator engine in black. Signature in lifegain, reanimator, and aristocrats shells where sacrificing creatures repeatedly fills the graveyard while gaining life enables increasingly large reanimation targets.

• Moseo's Infusion trigger uses the total life gained in a turn, not just combat life, so additional lifegain sources (Drain effects, Vault of Shattered Dreams, etc.) can dramatically increase the mana value of what he can reanimate in a single turn.

• The Pest token's life-gain trigger only fires on attack, so Moseo needs combat to set up his reanimation engine unless supplemented by other lifegain sources — this makes him slower in stax or control-heavy metas where attacking is dangerous.

• Moseo is mono-black, so his Infusion can reanimate any creature regardless of color identity, giving access to off-color finishers in Commander but not their activated mana abilities.
