Yuna, Grand Summoner
The 1/5 body announces the plan before either ability does: this is an anchor, not a beater, a permanent that expects to sit back, ramp, and stay alive while the game grinds long. What it does with that time is turn +1/+1 counters into a resource that outlives the creature holding them. Tapping for mana front-loads counters onto the next creature spell you cast that turn, so your follow-up threats land larger than their printed stats; when a countered permanent later dies, the second ability collects that stat total and moves it onto something still on the board. Nothing evaporates. Kill a bulked-up creature and the counters simply relocate, which quietly changes how the opponent has to think about trading with you: removal answers the body but not the value it carried. The mana clause also asks for patience, since only the next creature you cast after tapping gets the bonus, a sequencing constraint a Green-White-Blue value pilot has to plan around rather than fire off blind. The card belongs to the counters-matter tradition that cares less about one enormous threat and more about keeping counters in circulation, no matter which creature currently wears them: a redundancy engine wearing the face of a summoner.
