Your ability doesn't work how you think. Giving the creatures the ability means the player who controls the creature chooses when to activate it. Which they would never do because it hurts them. Should be
(2) : Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.

Which they would never do because it hurts them. you'd think so at a casual glance, but if you look at the top half of the card more carefully, you'll see that it has the ability "Creatures without -1/-1 counters on them can't attack you or a planeswalker you control.", meaning that once this card is played, your opponents have the choose between hurting themselves or not being able to hurt you |

gateways7 Something with the potential to destroy a land every turn, from 4 onwards? I don't know whether to be impressed or disgusted.

kefke: I personally think that the downside of having an easily-blocked creature with low toughness is enough to not make it completely broken, but I could be way off the mark on that one.

I made an additional text update, hopefully this has the best of both worlds.

Oh, this relief to see your creatures shedding their weakness and setting these incarnations against your opponents! But if these vermins don't manage to transfer themselves onto new hosts, they will settle for anything living...  In general, you have three options: 1) Cast it as sorcery. Advantage: Your weakened creatures get stronger for an upcoming attack, bringing along a wave of little pests where your opponents either choose to eat damage or get counters. Disadvantage: in non-instant tempo, this is foreseeable and thus gives your opponents a choice to begin with. 2) Cast it when an opponent attacks you. Advantage: Your weakened creatures get stronger for an upcoming block, bringing along a wave of little pests where your opponents will get counters. Disadvantage: As every block move, it is dependant on your opponent's choice to attack you. 3) Cast it when an opponent blocks your weakened creatures. Advantage: These creatures get stronger and you get a wave of little pests which lets your opponents shy away from a counter-attack. Disadvantage: Although your opponents will probably not attack you, that also means that your pests will transfer themselves back on your creatures. Could be miltigated if you want to get these counters back for future shenanigans. |
