Evereth, Viceroy of Plunder
The sacrifice ability reads as a straightforward growth engine, but the timing restriction is what shapes how it plays: locking activation to sorcery speed means you cannot pump this flyer in response to removal or ambush a blocker, so every counter has to be committed on your own turn, in the open, before your opponent gets a say. That constraint is the price for an unbounded outlet on a two-mana-plus-a-black three-drop, and it steers the card toward proactive board development rather than reactive tricks. The Treasure clause layers a small conditional reward on top: feed it a Treasure specifically and it gains lifelink for the turn, so a build running on token fodder and artifact ramp can turn the growth into a life swing on the same activation. The real payoff sits in the death trigger. Everything you sacrificed to grow it comes back as reach, because when it dies you can convert its accumulated power into direct damage to each opponent, and the in that cost gestures at the aristocrats color pairing this design lives in. The line it wants is legible: sacrifice into it all game, let it grow fat, then trade or throw it away and cash the counters out as burn. The older black sacrifice payoffs split this work across a separate sac engine and a drain enchantment; here the outlet, the growth, and the closing burn all sit on one three-mana body.
