Solesticio, I just think most people would be willing to pay 1 and 2 life to counter a spell. I'm always leery of putting in "Counter unless pay 1" because it's much more rare that they don't have 1 mana open, as opposed to 3 with the leak.
I had actually been thinking that instead of a keyword that ability should have been tied to creature type. It would have been better if the creature was a Zombie Mutant and put counters on non-Mutant creatures. Very similar result, but it interacts with a few more cards that naturally have the Mutant type or can manipulate creature types (and gives you more flexibility with different kinds of "radioactive" abilities).
Luminum, thanks for the critiques! I'll take that into consideration next time I think up some keywords.
Awesome card, but this card is a great example of what should be a keyword. These psuedo keywords don't have any bearing on the effect they describe, ie. Metalcraft works the same with or without the word in front of it. It just provides the player base an easy way to reference it and creates a mental shortcut in the brain to make processing items easier. Radioactive is a keyword, since it references itself.
Radioactive (When this enters the battlefield, put a -1/-1 counter on all creatures without Radioactive.)
Again, awesome design as long as the effect is included in a set that can manipulate or care about -1/-1 counters. Otherwise the effect itself is pretty dang strong haha.
Glad you liked the keyword! Too bad not many others seemed to
