About Baxter, Fly in the Ointment

Baxter, Fly in the Ointment, Legendary creature — insect mutant scientist, designed by Michele Giorgi first released in Feb, 2026 in the set Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Eternal. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

Baxter, Fly in the Ointment would fit best in a blue-based +1/+1 counter or proliferate deck, especially in Simic (blue-green) shells that already focus on stacking counters and going wide with creatures; since it grants temporary flying to all your creatures with counters whenever it enters or attacks, it rewards boards built with +1/+1 counters from cards like Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, or creatures such as Champion of Lambholt and Kami of Whispered Hopes, turning a stalled board into an evasive alpha strike, while its card-draw trigger synergizes well with engines like Rhystic Study, Reconnaissance Mission, or even simple cantrips to grow it into a real threat; however, in competitive formats it would likely be outclassed by more explosive or efficient payoffs like Craterhoof Behemoth (stronger finisher), Herald of Secret Streams (permanent unblockability for countered creatures), or Atraxa, Praetors’ Voice (more value and proliferation), so
