Dreamtide Whale is a blue mana creature from Modern Horizons 3 that delivers solid presence for its cost. For {2}{U}, you get a 7/5 creature that can swing effectively in the mid game. It enters the battlefield with Vanish 2, so it comes down with two time counters and begins counting down on your upkeep, eventually leaving the battlefield when the last counter is removed. That ticking clock creates a narrow window to leverage its power while you develop the rest of your plan.
Whenever a player casts their second spell each turn, proliferate triggers, letting you add an additional counter to any number of permanents and/or players. That effect scales with your board and plan, helping you push through damage, grow blockers, or strengthen your other threats. Dreamtide Whale fits blue's tempo and value oriented approach, bringing a memorable dreamtide presence to the battlefield.
