- **Mana Cost:** `{3}{G}{G}` (CMC: 5)
- **Type:** Instant

## Oracle Text
You may exile a green card from your hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Distribute three +1/+1 counters among one, two, or three target creatures. For each +1/+1 counter you put on a creature this way, remove a +1/+1 counter from that creature at the beginning of the next cleanup step.
