MTG Salvation

Is it possible that people are looking at this a little wrong? If played in a control shell, then it's not slammed on T6, but T8-9 with counter backup. Every time you then counter a removal spell, it gets bigger. Every time you kill another creature, it gets bigger. Every time you counter ANYTHING it gets bigger. It has the potential to take over the game pretty quickly. So, arguably, when cast at the right time, it certainly hits point 3.
