Juniper Order Ranger
Two counters per trigger, one on the entering creature and one on the Ranger itself, which is the detail that turns a slow midrange body into an engine. Most counter payoffs reward you for a single going-wide turn; this one compounds, because the Ranger grows in lockstep with everything you deploy, and the counters it scatters are permanent. The natural reading is a token strategy: every Saproling, every Soldier, every Bird arrives a size larger and pumps the Ranger another step, so a board that develops over three turns ends up several counters deep without any dedicated anthem effect. The sharper line lives in flicker and reanimation: anything that returns a creature you already control fires the trigger again, and pairing it with a sacrifice-and-return loop or an untap-and-blink effect lets the counters pile arbitrarily, which is where the card stops being incremental value and becomes a combo piece. The 2/4 body is deliberately unthreatening on its own, a defensive frame that survives the turns it spends doing nothing, and the green-white identity points it squarely at the go-wide, value-creature decks that want a passive accumulator rather than a haymaker. It asks for a board, not a spell, and rewards width and recursion in equal measure.
