Judge of the Forge
Armorcraft Judge is a practical green drop that rewards a board built around counters. When the Judge enters, it turns distributed growth into card advantage by drawing you one card for each creature you control that already sports a +1/+1 counter. At three mana and a steady three three body, it slots cleanly into midrange or counters-focused decks and scales with proliferate effects and anthem effects that pile on counters.
The card reads like an instruction manual for incremental value and board development. Use modular sources of counters, fight exchanges that leave tokens behind, or pair the Judge with anthem effects to turn small upgrades into multiple draws. The flavor hints at a literal adjudicator of crafted armaments, which suits decks that treat creatures as engines rather than single threats.
