Vigean Graftmage

Creature — Vedalken Wizard Mutant2 generic manaBlue mana

Graft is a counter-sharing mechanic, but most of its members just dribble their +1/+1 counters onto incoming creatures and call that value. This one builds an engine instead. The untap ability turns those counters into something that recurs every turn: any creature carrying a counter (which, in a graft deck, is most of them) can be tapped for its effect and then refreshed for two mana. Pair it with a creature whose tap ability is worth repeating (a mana producer, a Rogue's Passage-style enabler, a pinger) and the Wizard becomes a soft Freed from the Real that also seeds the board as it goes. The 0/0 body is the honest part of the bargain: it arrives carrying its graft counters as a 2/2 and immediately starts giving that toughness away, so left to its own devices it shrinks toward nothing. That is the tension the design hangs on. It does not want to attack or block; it wants to sit back, hand out stat boosts to fresh arrivals, and convert mana into repeated activations. As a piece of the counters-matter lineage it is connective tissue, the card that ties graft to the broader idea of +1/+1 counters as a reusable resource rather than a one-time stat bump.
