Premodern archetypes that play Quirion Dryad
- RG Zoo: Two mana for a 1/1 that gets a +1/+1 counter whenever you cast a white, blue, black or red spell; here that means every red spell, the red creatures included, and Lava Dart twice. Three red spells make it a 4/4. Its mana value stays 2, so Smother and Powder Keg on two counters kill it at any size, and a bounced Dryad loses its counters.
- Gro-a-Tog: The deck's best threat: a 1/1 for {1}{G} that gets a +1/+1 counter whenever you cast a white, blue, black or red spell. The counter arrives even if that spell is countered, and Gush, Daze and Foil cast without mana still count. Smother kills it at any size, because its mana value stays 2; Pyroclasm and Fire // Ice kill it while it is small, and a bounced Dryad loses its counters.
