Shapers of Nature

Two abilities that feed each other in a closed loop, and the loop only runs at a profit when the mana stays open to keep feeding it. The first activation grows a creature for four mana; the second, for three, strips that growth back off a creature you control and cashes it as a card. On their own those are unremarkable rates, but chained together they let a single counter serve two lives: first as stats, later as a draw, provided the growth lands on something you own. The design converts a board of your own pumped creatures into a stockpile of deferred draws, redeemable one counter at a time whenever the mana comes free. Because both activations are uncapped, the only ceilings are available mana and the counters sitting on your side of the table, so the card pulls toward Simic shells that already manufacture growth by other means and wants to be the engine that spends them for cards rather than the sole source of them. It asks you to treat board presence and card advantage as one exchangeable currency, sliding between them at will. The 3/3 body gives it something to do while the mana assembles, but the reason to run it is the conversion math: a value piece for grindy counters boards, dependent on a theme it feeds rather than one it can start alone.
