Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan
The Abzan wedge has always been about turning attrition into an advantage: outlast, then outsize. This design distills that philosophy into a three-mana body by tying the sacrifice to two of the widest triggers a creature can have. Both entering and attacking open the same window, and the sacrifice is a "may" with a reflexive payoff, so the counters only arrive when you feed it. That structure rewards a board of expendable permanents (tokens, spent artifacts, creatures whose value is already banked) and converts each one into a permanent anthem spread across your whole team, not just a single pumped attacker. The trample makes the arithmetic matter on the following swing rather than getting chumped into irrelevance. What holds it in check is the cost of the trigger: every counter distribution demands a real permanent, so the engine is self-limiting unless the deck is built to generate fodder faster than the trigger consumes it. It sits in the lineage of Abzan commanders that ask you to sacrifice into value rather than draw into it, closer in spirit to counters-matter aristocrats than to the graveyard-recursion builds the wedge is also known for. The repeated attack trigger is the part that scales: a board that survives one combat compounds each turn it survives another, which is the closest a small creature comes to a grindy inevitability of its own.
