Let's see how well the stock list pulls off its goals: Counter Blitz is all-in on Counters and does what it sets out to do well: I count 38 cards the put counters on either themselves or other cards, nearly all of these are +1/+1 counters but there's a bit of other stuff too (4 summon creatures put lore counters on themselves like Summon: Valefor)
I could list every new card I love - like Alice, Growing Girl, who lends the Support keyword to your other characters and gains four lore when you reach ten strength, or Sisu, Divine Water Dragon, who allows you to draw a new card every time you quest - but in general all of the new cards in Rise of the Floodborn feel like a shift in power and ability
