Arwen, Weaver of Hope

Arwen, Weaver of Hope is a sneaky +1/+1 counter engine that rewards you for pumping her up. She doesn't give counters herself, but any time a creature enters the battlefield under your control, it arrives with bonus counters equal to her current toughness. This means investing in ways to increase Arwen's toughness—whether through equipment, Auras, or abilities—directly multiplies the power of every creature you play afterward.

Your gameplan revolves around an early Arwen followed by ways to boost her defenses: cards like Hardened Scales that multiply counter effects, defensive Auras like All That Glitters, and equipment that pumps toughness. Once you've stacked a few boosts on her, every creature that enters becomes an oversized threat. You'll generate board presence through token makers, creature tutors, and efficient ETB creatures, all arriving fatter than printed. Win by swinging an army of counters-laden creatures into the red zone, or go tall with a few oversized threats.
