Titania's Chosen
The growth here is keyed not to your own actions but to the table's: every green spell anyone casts, from any player, feeds a counter onto a body that starts at 1/1 and has no inherent way to defend itself. That dependency is the whole design. In a vacuum it does nothing; in a green-saturated board it can swell faster than any single deck could fund on its own, because opponents' spells count too. The friction is structural and deliberate. The counters arrive on cast, so a removal spell at instant speed erases the investment before the creature ever connects, and the 1/1 base means it dies to anything for the entire stretch where it has not yet grown. The card asks for a green-heavy field and a way to keep it alive long enough to matter, neither of which it provides. What it represents is an early experiment in symmetrical, environment-reading growth: a creature whose size is a readout of how green the game is rather than a stat you build toward directly. The payoff is real when the table cooperates, but the design hands you a fragile vessel and a meter you only partly control, then dares you to protect it.
