Pride Grows with Every Breath
Ajani's Pridemate is a compact engine for any life gain plan. For a single white and one generic mana you get a 2 2 Cat Soldier that rewards each point of life with a permanent boost. That interaction makes it a reliable early play that scales through the midgame, especially alongside lifelink creatures, spells that gain life, or recurring life triggers.
The card reads cleanly and does exactly what it says: whenever you gain life put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. In practice the Pridemate converts incidental life into board presence and pressure. It slots into aggressive white decks or supportive roles in aggro control and is a familiar presence in Commander lists where incremental growth wins attrition. Add this Near Mint Foundations printing to your collection and watch your board state expand. Pick it up now to shore up any life gain synergy.
