Baxter, Fly in the Ointment

{3}{U}

Legendary Creature — Insect Mutant Scientist

Whenever Baxter enters or attacks, each creature you control with a counter on it gains flying until end of turn.

Whenever you draw a card, put a +1/+1 counter on Baxter.

"What am I? I am nothing anymore! A FREAK! I'll never be taken seriously as a scientist again!"
