Break the Line
Formation Breaker is a compact threat that rewards board presence and careful sequencing. As a 2 over 1 for {1}{G} it sidesteps many chump blockers because creatures with power less than Formation Breaker cannot block it. That makes it an efficient attacker early and a piece you want in aggressive midrange shells where damage must get through reliably.
The second ability leans into counters synergies common on Tarkir. While you control any creature with a counter on it Formation Breaker becomes effectively a 3 over 3 on offense or a resilient 3 over 3 when trading. Use proliferate, +1/+1 counters or any persistent marker to flip its value and pressure opposing planes. Practical, straightforward and useful in both limited and casual constructed lists. Add it to decks that plan to push damage through and capitalize on small investment cards that add counters. Pick this Near Mint English Uncommon to tighten your curve and improve your attacking math.
