Azlask, the Swelling Scourge is a Legendary Creature from the Eldrazi lineage that fits neatly into colorless and ramp-heavy decks. With a straightforward cost of {3} and a sturdy 2/2 frame, it rewards long games by stacking experience counters whenever colorless creatures die. This mechanic supports a gradual build toward a decisive swing, giving you incremental value as the board state evolves.
The card hinges on a simple yet potent philosophy: accumulate counters and push power through the late game. Whenever Azlask or another colorless creature you control dies, you gain an experience counter. On the turn you leverage those counters, creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of experience counters you have. Scions and Spawns you control also gain indestructible and annihilator 1 until end of turn, enabling a kinetic, threat-dense tempo play that can pressure opponents from multiple angles.
