Character Background
As a Legendary Human Scientist, Kate Stewart thematically channels a methodical researcher who turns chronal tinkering into reinforcements: she reads like a midrange/value engine that rewards an "time counters" subtheme and token synergies. Whenever you put time counters on permanents you get 1/1 Soldiers, so the card pushes a slow-accumulate plan that converts utility counters into bodies and board presence. The attack trigger is a finisher — pay eight to give attackers +X/+X where X is the number of time counters you control — so the deck wants reliable ways to add and multiply time counters (proliferate effects, counter-doubling effects like Doubling Season, and permanents that accrue time counters) and cheap anthem effects to make the soldiers relevant early. Build with ramp and mana rocks to make {8} realistic, include repeatable counter-placing effects and token tutors, and lean into value-to-combo lines: snowball small advantages into a single timed alpha strike.
