Preferred Pronoun Set:
I feel like Bolster the Front should have the order of its effects switched so that you can use it as a Glory Seeker with flash if you want to.

Really good mechanic though, well done. Love the Kithkin lord.

Because you select targets upon casting the spell, the tokens Bolster makes wouldn't be legal to put counters on with its other effect regardless of order. In this way I feel the order is better for for communicating that lack of interaction

That said rules could have changed regarding this so *shrug*

Yeah, that's true as written. It would be possible to make the +1/+1 counters ability not target the creatures, although maybe a bit unconventional.
