Canopy Stalker 3G
Creature- Cat
Canopy Stalker must be blocked if able.
When Canopy Stalker dies, you gain 1 life for each creature that died this turn. The woods provides shade and protection, but also an increased risk of sudden death.
4/2
It's Gaea's Protector, but with a lifegain death trigger. That doesn't really help.

All creatures able to block Canopy Stalker do so.

Thank you for providing the card as well as the translation!
: )
Pretty sure you were aware of the actual wording, given the comparison you made, and that that just automatically typed in the more common ability maybe in a rush.

@The Lord of Tresserhorn: You're right. My guess is the idea is that the cat forces other creatures into a physical confrontation via ambush, only that was poorly implemented here...
I'm not sure this thing makes sense flavor-wise... Something moving through the canopy should be unblockable.
I was originally going to comment on this but if we assume that it'll pounce on the first thing it comes across, it makes sense. The problem is mainly how we think of the direction of movement involved in attacking and blocking and how that intuitive notion is hard to match with what is happening with the fluff of the abilities. It's more like 'it's being unleashed behind enemy lines' than 'it's being sent at the enemy leader'.
I dig the subtle blending of several of green's shared themes with other colors. Cats with GW, morbid trigger with BG, and 4 power matters with RG. Too bad it didn't draw a card to align with GU and go all the way with it.
It's a meh card, but the design and how it fits into the overall set is quite efficient.
