Flycatcher Giraffid

The counter is doing something quietly clever here. Vigilance and reach are both keywords that keep a defensive body relevant against a specific threat: vigilance lets it attack without lowering its guard, reach lets it wall the fliers most green creatures cannot touch. Bundling them onto an enters-with choice means the 3/5 gets to answer whichever problem the board actually presents, decided the moment it lands rather than the moment it was printed. That is a small but real hedge against the usual weakness of vanilla-adjacent green beef, which commits to one job and hopes it was the right one. Representing the keywords as counters rather than static text is the part worth noticing: the ability lives as a physical object on the creature, so anything that copies or moves counters can relocate the granted keyword after the fact, and the mode is no longer locked to the body that chose it. Note the limit on proliferation, though: proliferate only multiplies counters already present, so a creature that entered with a vigilance counter gets a redundant second vigilance counter, never the reach it declined at entry. The choice made on the way in stays made. The design belongs to a broader early experiment in expressing granted abilities through counters, where the keyword and the token that carries it are the same thing. What lands is a sturdy, flexible blocker with a decision attached, and a counter that is portable in ways static text never is.
