Guardian Kirin

White rarely gets to profit from its own creatures dying: that arithmetic has traditionally belonged to black, where aristocrat payoffs turn a graveyard into a growth engine. This one hands the same mechanic to a flying body, and the color shift matters more than the rate does. Every creature you lose adds a permanent counter, which means the token swarms and go-wide boards white already builds become fuel: chump a blocker, sacrifice to an outlet, trade in combat, and the Kirin climbs while your line thins around it. The flying is what makes the counters count, keeping the growth on an evasive clock rather than a ground stall that a single wall answers. The 2/3 base is deliberately modest, because a card that gets bigger every time your side of the board shrinks would be oppressive on a stouter frame; the low starting toughness is the price for an ability that never stops paying. It rewards the exact board states white wants to be in anyway (wide, expendable, aggressive) and turns attrition, usually white's weakness, into a resource. The design is less about the one big flier and more about proof that the death-payoff axis does not have to be black's alone.
