Deeproot Elite — Lead Your Merfolk Forward

Deeproot Elite rewards a steady stream of Merfolk by turning every arrival into growth. At {1}{G} this Merfolk Warrior slots easily into decks that plan to flood the board and benefit from incremental buffing. The printed ability reads whenever another Merfolk enters the battlefield under your control put a +1/+1 counter on target Merfolk you control which makes it a simple and reliable engine for counters and metered aggression.

Play it on turn two to start compounding value or drop it later to capitalize on token generators and creature tutors. Lore wise this Elite carries the feel of Ixalan subterranean forests and swamp fed waterways giving your tribe not only numbers but survivability. Use standard synergies like anthem effects and proliferate to stretch each counter into long term advantage.
