A-Paragon of Modernity

The Alchemy rebalance of a card that only cared about three colors of mana, rewritten to mean it. The original paper printing gave a firmer body a bonus for spending exactly three colors on the pump, but the effect was a one-turn buff regardless: a Naya or Grixis mana base got a bigger swing, then nothing stuck. This version keeps the same "reward the three-color commitment" hook and gives it permanence, converting the exact-three-colors condition from a temporary boost into a +1/+1 counter that stays. That single change turns the activation from a combat trick into an accrual engine: each time you can assemble three colors, the body ratchets up for good, and the games where you cannot still leave you a repeatable, if modest, pump. The design tension is entirely in the color requirement doing double duty as both the throttle and the payoff, so the ability only pays its best rate to a mana base built to hit three distinct colors on demand. It is a small, honest expression of the wedge-and-shard color-greed theme that the multicolor sets have circled for years: the fixing you build to cast your spells becomes the fuel that grows your creature, and the Alchemy tweak is what makes that fuel compound instead of evaporate at end of turn.
