Growing Threat from the Lab
Experiment One is a compact threat that rewards a layered board plan. This Human Ooze enters as a 1/1 for one green mana and gains incremental size with evolve whenever a creature with greater power or toughness comes into play under your control. In practice it scales with token strategies and creatures played later in the turn and becomes a durable attacker that forces opponents to answer or fall behind on creature parity.
The printed text also gives you a built in safety valve. You can remove two +1/+1 counters from Experiment One to regenerate it, which trades counters for a second life when it would be destroyed and keeps your board presence intact. In Ravnica Remastered this card plays well in Aristocrats shells that care about counters or in tempo builds that want a cheap, growing body to trade up through combat. Experiment One is straightforward to pilot and reveals value over multiple turns.
