Márton Stromgald
The math is quadratic, and that is the pitch in a single word. The buff scales with the number of attackers other than Márton himself, but it applies to each of those attackers, so the swing grows faster than any per-creature anthem could manage: three other attackers means each of the three gets +3/+3, and the curve only steepens from there. He turns a token swarm genuinely terrifying rather than merely numerous, a go-wide payoff printed years before that phrase entered the strategic vocabulary. The defensive clause is the part players forget, and it is the part that makes the design honest: the same scaling fires on the block, so a 1/1 legend who dies to almost anything can still anchor a wall of suddenly enormous chump blockers. That 1/1 body is what keeps the rate from breaking. He brings nothing on his own and folds to any removal or the smallest ping, so the card is pure conditional reward: build the board first, then cash it in. The effect compounds on itself in a way that reads as a puzzle rather than a number, and that compounding is what has kept the card alive past its set as a curiosity for players who want their overrun quadratic instead of linear.
