Selfless Police Captain
The trick is that the counter never dies with the body. Most two-drops that carry a +1/+1 counter simply evaporate when they trade or get sacrificed, and the counter goes with them. This one converts its bulk into a bequest: when it leaves the battlefield by any route (combat, a removal spell, a sacrifice outlet), every +1/+1 counter on it hops to another creature you control. That leave-the-battlefield trigger reframes what looks like a fragile 2/2 into a piece of value insurance. Block with it, chump with it, feed it to an outlet: the stats it was carrying are never wasted, only relocated. The design leans into a real feedback loop with anything that reanimates, blinks, or repeatedly sacrifices, since each departure redirects the counters onto a creature you actually want to keep growing. And because the trigger moves whatever counters are sitting on it at departure (not just the one it entered with), a board that pumps this body first can turn its death into a genuine payoff rather than a break-even. It is the kind of white two-drop that rewards a board built to convert bodies into permanent stats rather than one that hoards them, doing quiet structural work in a go-wide or sacrifice shell where a chump block is supposed to leave something behind.
