Dockworker Drone

The counter is the product, and the body is just the packaging it ships in. A 1/1 that walks in as a 2/2 buys nothing on rate; what this card actually sells is portability. It stores a +1/+1 counter in a disposable shell and, when the shell dies, hands that counter off to a creature you would rather have carrying it. That turns a chump block or a sacrifice from a loss into a relocation: the investment does not die with the drone, it moves. The design detail worth noticing is that the trigger moves its counters, plural, not just the one it entered with. Anything that piles genuine +1/+1 counters onto this creature (proliferate, a modular donation, an outlast-style stack) rides along to the new home when it dies, so counters you built up are recovered rather than buried. Static buffs from anthems do not travel: those are not counters, so they vanish with the body like any other pump. That distinction is the whole reason the card wants to be built around counters specifically rather than raw stats. It reads as a support piece for a counters-matters shell, a feeder for proliferate and shift effects rather than something meant to win a fight. The robot frame and mono-white counter framing place it in the lineage of small artifact creatures whose value is what they leave behind, not what they accomplish while alive.
