Proliferation on the Frontline
Metastatic Evangel is a compact addition to your battlefield toolkit. With a cost of {1}{W}, it arrives as a 3/1 body that keeps pressure on from the early turns. Its ability reads whenever another nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, proliferate, turning every creature drop into incremental value for the board. This tidy trigger scales with your board state, rewarding careful planning and steady development. In Modern Horizons 3, the Evangel slots into white-centric decks that prize efficient bodies and consistent value, offering a reliable engine that grows with each new permanent you play. The flavor hints at a Phyrexian cleric guiding growth through disciplined proliferation, a quiet force behind a widening swarm.
Flavor text aside, the practical upshot is straightforward: every time you drop a creature, you gain the chance to push more counters across your permanents and plans. The Evangel synergizes with other proliferate elements and token strategies, helping you press advantage as your army grows. It’s a measured, dependable piece for players who favor tempo and incremental inevitability over fireworks, proving that steady presence can steadily shift the battlefield in your favor.
