Simic Basilisk

Graft was Simic's answer to a question other guilds solved with brute force: how do you make counters portable without making them disposable? The keyword turns a creature into a counter bank that pays out every time another body lands, so this 0/0 arrives as three +1/+1 counters looking for a home and slowly empties itself across the rest of the game. That makes the body almost beside the point; the value is in where the counters end up. The activated ability is the payoff that justifies the slow trickle: for it hands any counter-bearing creature a deathtouch-style trigger that destroys whatever it bites in combat, after damage, at end of combat. Note the wording is narrower and slower than true deathtouch (the destruction waits until end of combat rather than resolving with the damage), but it stacks across multiple creatures in a single turn, turning a board of grafted attackers into a wall of one-sided trades. The design tension is patience versus tempo: graft wants you to keep dribbling counters onto fresh creatures while the activation wants you to commit them to bodies in combat now. It is a slow engine built for a guild whose whole identity was the long game, where every creature that enters is another vote on where the counters go and another potential killer.
