Watchful Blisterzoa
A flyer that pays you for dying is not new, but the delayed-draw meter riding on the oil counter is what gives this one texture. It arrives with exactly one counter, so if it trades in combat or eats removal the moment it lands, you cash in a single card: a modest but real consolation, roughly the floor of a death-trigger cantrip stapled to a 4/4 evasive body. The upside scales with how much oil the rest of your deck can pour onto it. Every proliferate effect, every additional counter placed, raises the eventual refund without changing the body: the counters do nothing while the creature lives except promise a bigger draw when it leaves. That timing is the whole strategic wrinkle. The reward is contingent on death, which means you are incentivized to block with it, chump into a bigger threat, or feed it to a sacrifice outlet rather than hoard it. It flips the usual instinct to protect a flyer, turning the creature into something you are happy to lose once it has been fattened up. The counter here is purely a stored-draw ledger, and the design leans on that contingency to keep the rate fair: unlike a straightforward draw spell, you never see the cards until the creature is already off the board, and the more you have banked, the more the opponent wants to leave it alive.
