Ambitious Augmenter (SOS)

Creature — Turtle Wizard

Increment (Whenever you cast a spell, if the amount of mana you spent is greater than this creature's power or toughness, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.) When this creature dies, if it had one or more counters on it, create a 0/0 green and blue Fractal creature token, then put this creature's counters on that token.

Solid growth engine for +1/+1 counter and tempo strategies. Ambitious Augmenter rewards you for casting spells naturally while building toward a resilient threat—if removed, it leaves behind a scaled token that preserves your investment. Works well in Pioneer and Modern tempo decks that already run interaction and card advantage, though it demands a reasonable spell density to scale meaningfully before it dies.
