Serpent's Aegis
Snakeskin Veil from Foundations is a compact, efficient answer that doubles as both protection and growth. This Near Mint Foil instant puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control and grants it hexproof until end of turn. The effect is simple to resolve and serves in combat math, resilience against targeted removal, and as a way to push incremental damage through an opposing board with minimal fuss.
Experienced players will value how Snakeskin Veil preserves tempo while increasing a threat's staying power. The foil finish highlights the card art and the snake scale motif, which complements green builds that want to develop a board and deny removal. Play it on the surprise attack step or hold it as a response to removal; either way it stabilizes a position without costing more than one green mana. Consider this a compact trick for creature based strategies that need a reliable one mana answer.
