District Mascot — The Saddleable Surprise
District Mascot arrives from Aetherdrift as a light play borderless rare that rewards careful resource management. The card enters with a +1/+1 counter and scales through combat with Saddle 1, so it fits well on a board where incremental growth matters. Its printed ability lets you pay one generic and one green mana and remove two of its +1/+1 counters to destroy an artifact, turning those counters into disruptive removal when an artifact needs to be answered.
From a lore angle the Dog Mount reads like a district favorite turned field asset, a scrappy mount that binds to a rider or stands alone as a pragmatic blocker. In play it rewards attacking and planning around counters rather than relying on raw printed stats. Useful in midrange green decks and in companion builds that value on board upgrades, District Mascot gives you a repeatable threat and a one time artifact answer rolled into one tidy package.
