$0.98
Legendary Creature — Snake Samurai

Gruul auras and equipment that make menace Spirit tokens on entry, then grow every modified creature with counters each end step.
Read more
Chishiro is a 4/4 that makes a 2/2 red Spirit with menace whenever an Aura or Equipment enters under your control. At the beginning of your end step, every modified creature you control gets a +1/+1 counter, and equipment, auras and counters all count. So the cheap aura that made a token also starts a growth engine, and creatures that already have a counter keep getting bigger every turn.
In the recorded games, the deck built a steady board of Spirit tokens and equipped creatures that grew each turn. Rhythm of the Wild right after Chishiro was a strong start, giving each creature haste or an extra counter. Some lists went wide with cheap auras, while others played closer to Voltron and loaded up Chishiro. Labyrinth Champion added damage whenever an aura or pump targeted it. Keeping Chishiro alive mattered, since the lists had few other ways to make tokens. It was at its best when left alone for a few turns, when the counters added up quickly.
