Cloudbound Moogle

Creature — Moogle3 generic manaWhite manaWhite mana

A five-mana flyer that drops a +1/+1 counter reads as a modest rate, and the counter is what turns two separate effects into one motion: the enters-the-battlefield trigger lands a permanent buff the same turn a fresh evasive body shows up, so the board swings once instead of across two turns. The counter targets any creature, which lets the card promote itself into a three-power flyer or feed something that pays off the instant it grows. The reason it never sits dead in a hand that wants a fourth land more than a five-drop is Plainscycling: when the counter and the flying are not what a given game needs, the card discards for a fetched Plains, converting clunky top-end into fixing. That optionality carries the argument for it. The ceiling is an evasive body with a counter attached; the floor is a card that finds the land your mana is short on, and you make that call on the draw step rather than at deckbuilding. It asks nothing of the rest of your list, which is unusual for a creature that wants to be more than a body.
