Territorial Gorger

The energy mechanic's clearest aggression payoff: a body that swells every time you bank power, not when you spend it. Most red energy cards set up a transaction, sinking counters into burn or extra combat steps, but this Gremlin reverses the polarity. It cares about the inflow, taking +2/+2 each time you gain any energy at all, regardless of how much. One counter from an attack trigger, six from a fueling artifact: same reward. And because the trigger fires on every separate energy-gaining event, a turn that spits energy from two or three sources stacks the pump two or three times over, turning a 2/2 into something genuinely lethal without spending a single counter. The pitch is that it rides on top of your existing energy engine rather than competing with it for counters. The trample is load-bearing: the temporary boost is wasted against a blocker if the extra mass cannot push damage through, so the design hands you the overflow for free. What holds the card in check is that the buff evaporates at the end of the turn and keys off the act of gaining, not the act of having, so it sits inert on turns you generate none. This is a creature built to make an energy deck's incidental counters do double duty as a clock, rewarding an engine already humming rather than asking you to build one around it.
