Veteran of a Hundred Conflicts
Hundred Battle Veteran is a compact and efficient Zombie Warrior that rewards a measured investment in counters. In gameplay the Veteran asks a simple question about your board state. If you maintain three or more different kinds of counters among creatures you control this creature immediately becomes a more imposing attacker or blocker by gaining a sizable +2/+4 boost. That conditional punch makes it a reliable midrange piece in decks that distribute counters across creatures or leverage proliferate effects.
The card also brings graveyard flexibility that fits Tarkir style recursion. You may cast the Veteran from your graveyard and it returns with a finality counter on it, which means it can come back and take another swing while staying balanced by an exile clause if it dies again. Practical, straightforward, and well suited to decks that combine sacrifice and counter synergies. Add this Near Mint English copy to a build that already values resilient threats and incremental resource advantage.
