Arcus Acolyte
Oracle Text
Reach, lifelink
Outlast {G/W} ({G/W}, {T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. Outlast only as a sorcery.)
Each other creature you control without a +1/+1 counter on it has outlast {G/W}.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Arcus Acolyte is a deceptively powerful glue card for a +1/+1 counter-based value deck, especially in Selesnya shells that want to develop the board while staying ahead on life and combat. A 2/2 for {G}{W} with reach and lifelink already helps stabilize against flyers and aggressive starts, but the real strength is the team-wide outlast grant: once it has a counter, every other creature you control without one can begin growing too, turning your board into a scalable engine. That makes it excellent in midrange and control-leaning strategies that want to slow the game, then win through incremental advantage rather than raw speed. It pairs well with creatures that naturally tap to outlast, counter payoffs, and cards that untap or protect key threats so the Acolyte survives to turn the whole team into a marching order of disciplined clerics and archers.
