Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two target creatures.
“White +1/+1 counter lord pumping two creatures each combat.”
Agent Bishop is a modest but effective +1/+1 counter lord who pumps two creatures at combat each turn. This white-based strategy leans into go-wide token creation paired with selective +1/+1 counter synergies. You're building an efficient combat deck that generates bodies—either through sacrifice outlets, token makers, or creature generation—then amplifies them with Bishop's repeatable pump.
The gameplan is straightforward: play efficient small creatures and token generators early, use Bishop to boost two key threats before combat, then swing for steady damage. Bishop rewards you for playing creatures you already want (token makers like Bitterblossom or Lingering Souls), and turns marginal bodies into relevant threats. You win through cumulative combat damage, often aided by incidental +1/+1 counter interactions that enable other synergies like sacrifice outlets or Modular creatures.

Skip expensive planeswalkers and manabases; lean on Intrepid Adversary, Gather the Townsfolk, and basic enchantment ramp like Michiko's Reign of Truth instead of premium tutors.
