Threefold Thunderhulk: Gnome Engine of the Caverns
Threefold Thunderhulk is a heavy hitting artifact creature that reads like a toolkit for token strategies. Threefold Thunderhulk enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it, so it arrives as a credible threat from turn one on the battlefield of ideas. Its enter the battlefield and attack triggers convert raw power into board presence by creating 1/1 colorless Gnome artifact creature tokens equal to its power, which scales as you invest artifacts or counters.
The card also offers incremental growth potential through a low cost sacrifice outlet. You can pay 2 and sacrifice another artifact to put a +1/+1 counter on Threefold Thunderhulk. That interaction rewards decks that populate artifacts and trade them for sustained threat escalation. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore Gnome makers trade parts as readily as secrets and this card fits that ethos by turning scraps into muscle and numbers into tempo.
