Description
Ripples of Potential
Ripples of Potential is a compact instant that rewards timing and board state awareness. At two mana it gives you a proliferate and then lets you pick any permanents that just received counters to phase out. Use it after a marker distribution step or a triggered ability that places counters. The result is a tidy way to both advance counters and protect newly enhanced permanents from removal during an opponent turn.
From a lore angle this card feels like a merfolk artificer bending geomantic currents to shield allies while amplifying growth. Practically it slots into any counter focused deck where you want to accelerate planeswalker loyalty, +1 plus one counters on creatures, or energy and age counters while temporarily removing the affected permanents from danger. Play it when you can get value from the proliferate and then reuse the phased in permanents on your next turn.
