But now, look again: With enough counters on Animar Palinchron becomes a source of infinite mana and +1/+1 counter on Animar (you can use to call a hydra with infinite strength and defense) or just use the mana to deal as many damage as needed with Comet Storm

Alongside generating tokens, Rin and Seri, Inseparable is also an excellent tool for removal and life gain
That player cant get counters for as long as this creature remains on the battlefield
In casual 60-card brews, Hauntwoods Shrieker and Abhorrent Oculus give the mechanic real teeth
The card even has Defender, as a reference to the games tower defense elements
