Most self-growing creatures reward repetition: chain cheap triggers and watch the counters pile up. This frog inverts that math. Because Increment measures your spending against the lower of its two stats, and this one starts at 0 power, the first counter comes for almost nothing (any spell of one mana or more clears a power of zero). But growth is self-throttling from there. Once power ticks to one, the next trigger wants a two-mana spell, then three, then four, each threshold climbing in lockstep with the counter that granted it. So the accumulation stays alive only in a shell that was always going to escalate its spending across a game, never one recycling cantrips. The 0/3 body states the intent plainly: this is a wall, content to eat attacks while it quietly outgrows the early turns, not a clock. Surveil 2 on arrival matches that patience, smoothing draws and stocking a graveyard without demanding anything from the board. The whole design is built to trade blocks, absorb removal that would rather be spent on a real threat, and let a deck full of expensive spells eventually turn a defensive three-drop into something the opponent has to answer on their terms, not yours.
