Oracle Text
Trample
Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Pest Mascot is a neat little value threat in Golgari shells, especially decks that already incidentally gain life while developing the board. A 2/3 trampler for three mana is fine on rate, but the real draw is how quickly it snowballs once your life-gain engine starts ticking, turning every drain spell or lifelink hit into permanent growth. In practice, this card best supports a midrange or tempo plan: play it early, then keep pressure on while your larger body forces awkward blocks. It pairs well with repeatable life gain from cards like Dina, Soul Steeper, Witherbloom Apprentice, or cheap lifelink creatures, and it becomes especially threatening alongside sacrifice or drain packages that can trigger life gain on demand. Because the counters are permanent, even small pings of life can make it outscale removal-light opponents. Treat it as a resilient payoff, not a build-around by itself, and it will often overperform in grindy games.
