Proud Stride Cat
Pridemalkin is a compact engine for +1/+1 counter strategies. For three mana you get a 2 1 body that immediately places a counter on a teammate, then turns every creature with a +1/+1 counter into a trample threat. This card pairs cleanly with token generators and anthem effects; it provides a reliable incremental upgrade and changes combat math in your favor without demanding a complex setup.
The artwork and frame speak to Foundations Jumpstart sensibilities: efficient, flexible, and quietly impactful. Use Pridemalkin early to seed counters or midgame to enable evasive damage through blockers. It is straightforward to pilot, reads clearly in draft and sealed environments, and rewards decks that plan around counters and combat tricks. Add it to a deck that wants consistent pressure and simple synergies.
