Essence Symbiote (Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths #149)

Essence Symbiote {1}{G}

Creature — Beast

Whenever a creature you control mutates, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature and you gain 2 life.

The Ozolith’s appearance spawned a new era of wild mutation on Ikoria. Some creatures hunted different prey, lived in new habitats, and thrived on mutation itself.
