Endless Ranks
Enchantment
Whenever a creature you control dies, put a muster counter on endless ranks.
At the beginning of each upkeep, you may pay and remove a muster counter from Endless Ranks. If you do, create a 1/1 white soldier creature token.
This card seems like something that should've existed for ages, a sun droplet for go-wide decks.
To answer the obvious questions: 1. Muster counters?
These are already used on Assemble the Legion. The name works and putting charge counters on enchantments always feels weird.
2. Why pay for each trigger?
A couple reasons. It made it easier for me to justify a low CMC (original draft was ). It helps to further differentiate this effect from Tendershoot Dryad and Verdant Force so this card doesn't feel green. It makes having multiple copies out slightly less horrifying.
3. Shouldn't it say nontoken creatures?
I am very against adding "nontoken" here. This card was designed to aid go-wide strategies and token decks frankly need this sort of support to rebuild.
Is this thing too strong? Too weak? A generally dumb idea? Feel free to share your thoughts.
It looks a tad to strong. I think either only triggering on your upkeep or costing 1WW would be better. At just WW it looks too strong in multiples as you can deploy multiple threats without ever committing more to the board. Slowing you down to 1 a turn or making it generally harder to have multiple should ease that.
