Kor Celebrant

The Soul Warden lineage has always died at the front. A 1/1 that gains you a life whenever a creature enters is a fine engine on paper, but it folds to any burn spell, any random attacker, any board wipe that catches it in passing, so the incremental life rarely accumulated before the body left play. Widening the frame to a 1/4 is a small but pointed correction: it shrugs off most incidental damage and blocks all day, exactly the survival profile a go-wide lifegain shell needs while it stabilizes. The trigger reads "this creature or another creature you control enters," so it counts its own arrival and fires on any creature you control regardless of how it got there: hard-cast bodies, tokens, reanimation, blink returns. That breadth turns it from a lone lifegain body into a real engine, since each entry ticks your total upward against an opposing clock, and a token maker or repeatable flicker effect stacks those ticks into something that matters. The Cleric tag and the durable frame mark it as a support piece rather than a threat, and the design lesson lives in the toughness: a payoff that stays on the battlefield is worth more than a payoff with a sharper rate that keeps dying before it earns its keep.
