Sigarda's Summons
Counters decks usually build toward incremental advantage: a little bigger each turn, a little wider, an arithmetic that rewards patience. This flips the qualifier to a threshold. The moment a creature has a single +1/+1 counter, it snaps to a base 4/4 body with flying and the Angel type, regardless of what it started as. A one-drop mana dork with a counter is now a 4/4 flier; a token that entered with a single counter joins the same club. The base-4/4 clause matters more than it reads, because it sets power and toughness in the layer where base stats live, before counters and anthems apply on top. So the +1/+1 counter that turned the effect on still adds its bonus: a creature loaded with five counters keeps all of them, sitting at 9/9 rather than collapsing to the baseline. The floor lifts everything without capping anything. The evasion is the real payoff. A go-wide counters board is normally a ground stall waiting to be chump-blocked into oblivion; grant every counter-bearing body flying and the same board becomes an alpha strike most decks cannot block. The Angel typing is the quiet third gift, turning an incidental swarm into fuel for tribal payoffs that were never built to reward proliferate strategies. It asks for a board first and rewards it second, which is why it lands as a haymaker rather than an engine.
