Zegana, Utopian Speaker

The first Simic Zegana scaled its card draw to the biggest creature you controlled, a mana-hungry payoff that rewarded raw size. This second bearer of the name rebuilds the same value identity around +1/+1 counters instead. The enters trigger checks for a creature that already carries a counter, which turns her into a reward for a board state you built before she arrived rather than a self-contained engine. The static trample-granting ability does the heavy lifting: in a deck stacked with counters, it converts a clogged ground into lethal math, since every buffed body punches past chump blockers. The Adapt cost is deliberately expensive, a self-referential loophole that gives her a floor when she is the only counter-bearer on the board (she cannot draw off her own entry, but she can grow into a trampling threat and flip the static ability on for herself). That sequencing tension is the whole point: she wants to be the last counters payoff you cast, not the first, and she rewards a board already committed to the subtheme rather than a splash. Adapt keys off her own +1/+1 counters, not any other kind of modification: while she still carries counters she cannot adapt again, so the activation is a one-shot insurance policy against an empty board rather than a repeatable mana sink or a win condition in its own right.
