Rationale
2cmc legendary Bard that ETB generates a Treasure, then grants other creatures +1/+1 counters per Treasure spent to cast them. Signature in counter-voltron shells that build artifact/treasure mana, and combo decks that exploit Treasure-fueled creature ETBs for counter acceleration. Requires dense creature count and Treasure synergy to shine; slow setup in non-combo shells.
