Ripples of Potential — Cascade of Counters
Ripples of Potential offers a compact answer for any deck that runs counter synergies. For one and a blue you proliferate then pick any number of your permanents that received a counter from that proliferate and phase them out. That sequence both increases your board presence through additional counters and hides selected permanents from interaction until your next turn, which can disrupt opposing timing without overcommitting resources.
Use it where timing matters most. It can protect key artifacts, creatures, or enchantments that already carry counters while advancing planeswalker loyalty or poison and energy totals when relevant. The effect reads like an experienced player designed it: it does two related jobs in a single instant which leaves room to pivot between offense and preservation in midgame skirmishes within the Lost Caverns of Ixalan environment.

Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) — Proliferate, then choose any number of permanents you control that had a counter put on them this way. Those permanents phase out. (To proliferate, choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there. Treat phased out permanents and anything attached to them as though they don’t exist until their controller’s next turn.)
