Lawless Broker
The death trigger is the quiet engine here: a 3/2 that, when it dies, transplants its presence onto a creature you keep. That makes the body disposable by design. You are not trying to protect it; you are trying to spend it, ideally feeding it into combat or a sacrifice effect and banking the +1/+1 counter where it does more good. The counter survives even when the broker does not, so the value is conserved across the trade rather than lost with the corpse. That structure rewards a board that wants permanent growth from attrition: chump-block with it and the blocker's death pays a dividend, or trade it into removal and the counter lands somewhere safer. The constraint that keeps it grounded is that the counter only goes on a creature you control, so an empty board wastes the trigger entirely; the card needs a successor lined up before it dies. It also asks nothing of any particular creature type to function, which makes the death trigger the whole appeal rather than a tribal payoff. A 3/2 that hands off a counter on the way out is a modest piece of curve filler, built for decks that treat creatures as currency to be spent rather than assets to be hoarded.
