Michelangelo, Mutant BFF

—

Michelangelo is a 4/4 for 4G that grants pseudo-evasion (can't be blocked by more than one creature) to all counter-bearing creatures, and generates a Mutagen artifact token on ETB and each attack — a built-in repeatable counter engine. It's a signature card in +1/+1 counters and counters-voltron strategies where the evasion static scales with the wide counter-bearing board. The Mutagen token requires an additional mana and a sorcery-speed sacrifice to distribute counters, making the payoff slow but cumulative. Sits comfortably in brackets 2-3 as a strong but not oppressive value engine.

• The Mutagen token's counter-placement is sorcery-speed only and requires both mana ({1}+tap) and sacrificing the token, meaning Michelangelo's counter generation is significantly slower than it appears — plan for it as a late-turn sink rather than a combat trick.

• Michelangelo's evasion aura is a static ability that applies to ALL your creatures with any counter (not just +1/+1 counters), so existing stun counters, shield counters, or finality counters on utility creatures also benefit.

• As an uncommon TMNT crossover card, Michelangelo is legal in Commander and Brawl but fits narrowest in green +1/+1 counter shells; the Mutant creature type has very limited tribal support outside the TMNT card cycle itself.
