Zegana, Utopian Speaker — Tidebound Mentor
Zegana, Utopian Speaker is a compact commander that rewards counters economy and timing. She enters the battlefield for {2}{G}{U} and immediately tests whether your board already supports +1/+1 counters; if it does she replaces a typical draw engine by granting you a card right away. The adapt ability lets you invest four counters for a single activation making her both a payoff and a setter for counter synergies.
Use Zegana in lists that value incremental growth and redundancy. She gives each creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it trample which turns distributed buffs into real clock pressure. Near Mint English print from Commander Lost Caverns of Ixalan, suitable for players who want a reliable commander build piece for Merfolk and counter themes.
