Angelic Quartermaster

Where most counter payoffs ask you to already have a board that cares about counters, this one seeds them: it walks in as an evasive body and hands out permanent stat bumps to two creatures already on the table, no setup required. That splits the design cleanly from anthem effects like Glorious Anthem, which give a floating team-wide boost that vanishes when the source dies. Here the counters stay on the recipients even if the Angel trades away, which is what makes it a going-wide payoff rather than a lord you have to protect. The "up to two other" wording is the quiet discipline in the design: it can flip two attackers past a blocker's toughness in one shot, or single out a lone creature when the board is thin, but it never touches itself, so the 3/3 flying frame is fixed and the value is entirely in what it grafts onto the rest of the team. What actually opens the ceiling is not the enters trigger itself but how many times you can stage the entrance: flicker and reanimation loops turn a single copy into a repeatable counter generator, and every re-entry is another two counters distributed however the board needs them. The body is beside the point; the value scales with how often you can replay the arrival.
