Skyknight Squire

A go-wide payoff dressed up as a lord-in-waiting. The 1/1 body does nothing at first; its whole value is the counter that lands every time another creature you control joins the board, which means the card scales with the pace of your deck rather than its curve. The design wrinkle is the three-counter threshold: cross it and the Squire acquires flying and, retroactively, the Knight type it lacks on paper. That second clause is quiet but pointed. A creature that only becomes a Knight once it has grown enough asks a tribal deck to invest before it counts one of its own, and both the evasion and the tribe are gated on the same number, so anything that removes counters can drop the Squire back below the line and strip both at once. Grafting a keyword and a creature type to the same numeric gate is a tidy piece of common-slot construction: it gives a token-flood or aggressive white shell a reason to keep flooding the board past the point where extra bodies would otherwise be redundant, and it hands the resulting threat evasion exactly when the ground is likely to be clogged. The card is not trying to be a marquee build-around; it is the workmanlike engine piece that rewards the plan a wide white deck was already running.
