Herald of Secret Streams — Make Your Counters Hit
Herald of Secret Streams is a compact enabler for any deck built around +1/+1 counters. For four mana you get a two three body that turns your pumped creatures into effective attackers by making any creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it unblockable. As a Merfolk Warrior it sits cleanly in blue based builds that lean into growth engines such as proliferate, anthem effects, or creatures that enter with counters.
In game terms this card forces opponents to answer your counters rather than just trading blocks. It pairs well with creatures that receive counters from combat, enter the battlefield triggers, or modular style synergies. In Commander it reads as a simple lock in combat that shifts threat assessment toward targeted removal and spot answer cards, which can free up your other turns for value plays and card advantage.
