Increment

The rule

Whenever you cast a spell, if the mana you spent is greater than this creature's power or toughness, it gets a +1/+1 counter.

In play

It grows by itself when you cast spells that cost more than its power or toughness; play it early, then follow with ever more expensive spells.
