Living Totem

A wide board pays for this card and then gets paid back by it, which is the entire point of the two abilities sitting on the same slot. The 2/3 body is deliberately modest, because the card is a reward for having already committed creatures rather than a threat that stands on its own. Cast on an empty battlefield, you have paid full price for a small green creature whose enters trigger has nothing to target; cast as the capstone of a wide turn, the tapped creatures grind the cost down toward nothing while the trigger stacks a +1/+1 counter onto your best attacker. The permanence of that counter is what pushes this past a temporary pump: it stays on a creature that survives combat, it clears a blocker for good, and it compounds with anything else already accruing counters. This is common-rarity glue for a green go-wide shell, built around the assumption that the board comes first and the spell arrives to convert it into a lasting advantage. The design asks a specific question before it earns its cost (do you already have creatures?), and answers generously only when the answer is yes.
