Creature — Fungus
If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, twice that many +1/+1 counters are put on it instead.
"Fear. Feed. Stronger. Spread my spawn."
This resilient 4/4 creature from Premium Deck Series represents a potent force in any strategy built around proliferation and counter synergies. For just three mana across black and green, you're getting a reasonably costed body that immediately impacts your counter-based game plan the moment it hits the battlefield. The ability to double all incoming +1/+1 counters creates exponential growth that quickly becomes overwhelming for opponents, transforming modest incremental upgrades into devastating threats. This card slots perfectly into dedicated counter-heavy archetypes like Golgari Infect variants, where the doubling effect synergizes beautifully with proliferate mechanics and cards that place multiple counters simultaneously. In Pioneer and Modern formats, it pairs exceptionally well with cards like Ozolith and Hardened Scales, creating scenarios where a single +1/+1 counter essentially becomes two, multiplying your board presence's power level significantly. The creature also works wonderfully in Commander, particularly in commanders like Atraxa Praetors' Voice or Ezuri Claw of Progress where counter generation is already central to the strategy. Its strength lies not just in raw stats but in how it transforms your entire deck's velocity, making incremental strategies suddenly threatening. Players seeking to build aggressive counter-based strategies or anyone with existing proliferate infrastructure should seriously consider this card's inclusion, as it represents one of the most efficient counter-doubling effects available across multiple formats. Whether you're playing competitive Modern or casual Commander, this fungus threatens to take over games quickly.
