Rationale
Kilo is a 3cmc 3/3 hasty legendary Robot Artificer that proliferates whenever it becomes tapped — attacking is the most natural trigger, but any tap effect (tap effects, crew, artifacts that tap it) also fires it. Haste means it proliferates the turn it enters, making it a premier proliferate engine in +1/+1 counter, planeswalker loyalty, and infect-toxic shells. The three-color pip cost (U/R/W) is restrictive but manageable.
Learnings (3)
Kilo's proliferate triggers on ANY tapping, not just combat — effects like Opposition, Springleaf Drum, or Smuggler's Copter crewing can proliferate multiple times per turn cycle without attacking.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
Because Kilo has haste, it proliferates the turn it enters play, which is unusually fast for a 3cmc commander/engine piece and makes it dangerous to leave on the table even briefly.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
In infect-toxic shells, Kilo stacks poison counters rapidly since proliferate hits poison counters on players; this makes it a faster clock than it appears for a 3/3 beater.
