Jared Carthalion
Most five-color legends treat WUBRG as a deckbuilding tax and nothing more: pay the color pie, get a generically good body. This one turns "all colors" into a resource it generates and then compounds. The +1 seeds the board with a 3/3 Kavu with trample that reads as every color at once, which is the perfect target for the -3: an ability that hands +1/+1 counters to as many as two creatures equal to each one's color count. Point it at the fresh Kavu and it swells by five; point it at a second five-color creature and the two abilities loop into each other cleanly, the token-maker feeding the counter burst turn after turn. The -6 is a different lever, proportional payoff giving way to a threshold one: it returns any multicolored card from the graveyard, no strings, but only an all-colors card triggers the bonus draw and two Treasures. That gate is the design's real ask. This is a Planeswalker that repays a deck stuffed with genuine WUBRG permanents, not merely gold ones, with the fattest activations. Jared himself is a deep-cut piece of continuity, a Corondor-born character who waited many years for a card, and the kit turns that patience into a five-color engine rather than a generic value grinder: a token to build the board, a counter burst that scales with commitment, and a recursion clause whose best mode is unlocked only by the strictest version of the constraint.
