Celestial Ancient

Most enchantment-matters payoffs reward the permanent already in play: an aura that grows as it ages, a shrine that ticks up, a god that wakes once enough sit on the battlefield. This one rewards the verb, not the noun. The trigger fires on cast, which means it goes on the stack the instant you commit an enchantment, and the +1/+1 counters spread across your board regardless of whether either spell ever resolves. That independence is the whole point: the trigger resolves on its own once it is on the stack, so an opponent who answers this 3/3 in response still watches the rest of your creatures grow, and countering the enchantment underneath does nothing to stop the counters either. Enchantments become fuel rather than ends in themselves, and a deck packed with cheap auras and global enchantments turns into a board that compounds per cast instead of per turn. Nor does the body have to linger to pay off; because the engine runs off a triggered ability and not a tap, a player with the mana can land it and chain two or three cheap enchantments the same turn to fan counters out immediately. The cost is honesty about the rate: a 3/3 flyer for five that dies to whatever answers a midrange creature on sight, and accomplishes nothing the turn it arrives unless you have enchantments to spend behind it. It belongs to the white enchantment strain built around a single card that converts a flood of permanents into lethal stats all at once.
