Steady Growth
Kin-Tree Nurturer is a compact engine for incremental value in midrange black decks. The card gives you lifelink and a triggered enters the battlefield effect that endures 1, so you either leave it as a 2 1 threat with lifelink or upgrade it into a 3 2 by putting a counter on it. That choice makes the Nurturer flexible in combat and in longer games where every point of life and board presence matters.
From a Tarkir perspective the flavor fits: quiet rites that bind the living to the roots of the clan. The card plays well with sacrifice synergies, counter matters and any package that benefits from lifegain, and it can be a reliable early play to stabilize against aggressive starts. Add this Near Mint Foil to a deck looking for efficient creatures that scale without asking for much mana and the Nurturer will repay you turn after turn.
