Agent Bishop, Man in Black

—

3cmc 1/2 Human Soldier that puts a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two target creatures at the beginning of combat each turn. The effect is slow and modest — distributing one counter each to two creatures per combat is incremental value, fitting in +1/+1 counters or voltron builds but rarely a defining piece. A 1/2 body for 3 is underwhelming, making this primarily a support piece in counter-synergy or go-wide shells.

• The trigger distributes exactly one +1/+1 counter to each of up to TWO targets — it does not stack multiple counters on a single creature — so it pairs better with counter-doubling effects (Hardened Scales, Doubling Season) to become impactful.

• As a 1/2 for 3, Agent Bishop is rarely worth a commander slot unless the deck specifically wants a white counter-distributor that works every combat step rather than on ETB.
