Initiative Payoff

Cards that check "if you have the initiative" and pay you off while you hold it, drawing cards, making tokens, or pumping creatures. Imoen, Mystic Trickster draws an extra card at your end step, Feywild Caretaker spins out Faerie Dragons, Passageway Seer adds +1/+1 counters, and Safana, Calimport Cutthroat creates Treasure. Distinct from Takes Initiative, which grants the initiative and kicks off Undercity venturing without conditioning further value on keeping it; this set instead rewards retaining the crown of the dungeon turn after turn.
