MTG Salvation

When you counter a spell, put a counter on this, and you only get a counter when the counter counts.

I was just referencing the fact that "counter" has two meanings.

In fairness it also counts Root Snare, instant-speed card, and creatures with flash. Also after the first counter its pretty good, 1U for a 3/2, and it can get bigger as the game goes on.

Merfolk Pirate? I think something interesting is going on in Ixalan.

Mercadia also had merfolk pirates. Nothing interesting there. Ever.

I won't be convinced until we see a Vampire Dinosaur.

While this card is aimed at powering that odd Bant flash deck, I keep thinking of the Esper Control decks that have been kicking around for the past year.

I think a Grixis shell would be better because if your opponent isn't playing anything you have Snap/Bolt in addition to Snap/Opt to generate 2 counters.

Where Esper would rely more on Snap/Opt and 3 mana spells (Esper Charm/Archmage Charm).

I'm just wondering, maybe this isn't true because most of the time you will flahsback a removal in Esper so it's kinda the same but yeah... Need to be tested.
