Item Description

One white mana buys a lot here. Hopeful Initiate is a 1/2 Human Warlock with training, so whenever it attacks alongside a creature with greater power it gets a +1/+1 counter. Its other ability is the reason it earns a slot: pay two generic and one white mana and remove two +1/+1 counters from among creatures you control to destroy target artifact or enchantment.

Those counters can come from any of your creatures, not just the Initiate, so counters decks turn it into repeatable removal. Hardened Scales effects, creatures that enter with counters and Commander decks built around +1/+1 counters keep a steady supply ready, and the Initiate can answer problem artifacts and enchantments again and again at instant speed. Early on it is a one-drop that grows; later it is a removal engine that keeps opponents' best permanents in check.

Two Innistrad: Crimson Vow versions are offered here, both illustrated by Dan Murayama Scott and both in non-foil: the extended-art printing, collector number 350, and the standard printing, collector number 20.
