A body that scales off a mechanic most cards spend passively rather than count. Oil counters were built as a slow-burn resource, accumulating on artifacts, creatures, and enchantments as a signal of corruption rather than a payoff in themselves. This one turns the width of that accumulation into a combat threat: the attack trigger reads the entire board, tallying every permanent carrying oil, not just the ones this creature affects. That distinction matters. A deck built around it wants many small sources of oil rather than one heavily-oiled bomb, since a dozen permanents each holding a single counter swings this far harder than a few loaded ones. Trample is the piece that makes the arithmetic land: once the attack trigger inflates the power, blockers become speed bumps rather than answers, so the counted board width converts directly into damage instead of getting chump-blocked away. What sharpens the card is the temporary, attack-only nature of the buff, which rewards a proactive, go-wide oil strategy and does nothing sitting on defense. It is the aggressive terminus of a counter theme that otherwise leans toward grind and value, a reminder that a resource meant to represent creeping corruption can also just be a scaling clock.
