Rationale
Lita is a 2cmc white legendary that triggers on each new creature entering your side — once per mode per turn — cycling through a +1/+1 counter, a Food token, or Scry 1. She rewards creature-dense or tokens-go-wide builds with incremental value but is capped at one mode per turn, making her a low-power, casual-bracket card rather than a competitive staple. Best in creature-flood strategies where all three modes can be cycled through quickly.
Learnings (2)
The Alliance trigger chooses modes that 'haven't been chosen this turn,' meaning in a single turn with three creature ETBs you cycle through all three options exactly once — on the fourth ETB the choices reset and cycle again.

Because all three Alliance modes are individually low-impact, Lita performs best in dedicated tokens-go-wide lists where volume of triggers compensates for per-mode limitations, rather than in goodstuff creature decks with sporadic ETBs.
