It works, but needs to be "...instead transform it and remove all damage from it" if you don't want it to just die again from its wounds. It will still get double-killed from -X/-X effects, so I suggest changing it to "If ~ would be destroyed..." to make that more intuitive.

And Then It Exploded - Twice (3RR)
Sorcery
~ deals 7 damage to target creature. That creature deals damage equal to its power to its controller.
Hellbent - if you have no cards in hand, that creature deals twice as much damage instead.

I won't go into detailing the train of thought, but it turns out someone already quoted Fluttershy in the comments for Lignify.

Flavor-wise, I would have preferred if it dealt damage a second time instead.

Although it would matter for triggered abilities that detect when a creature (or player) has been dealt damage, making it trigger twice.

Vengeful Dead 2UU

Sorcery

Exile all creature cards in your graveyard. For every creature exiled this way, put a 1/1 blue Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield.


Shepherd of Souls 3WW

Creature — Angel

Flying

Morbid - when ~ comes into play, put a +1/+1 counter on it for each creature that died that turn.

When ~ dies, put a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield for each counter on it.

2/2

[up] Would the Shepherd benefit from dying due to an overdose of -1/-1 counters?

That would be so gleefully satisfying if you pumped it full of +1/+1 counters, then fed it to something with wither or infect.

I believe that if a creature has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter, the two counters eradicate each other and the creature loses both of them. They're like matter and anti-matter in this respect.

[up]EDIT: nuts.

The original idea was a Spirit creature that:

  1. Exiled all creatures in your graveyard when it came into play
  2. Had power and toughness equal to the number of creatures exiled that way
  3. Made spirit tokens equal to its power when it died

But they ended up as two separate cards, and I think I like it that way. Having all those effects on the same card would be needlessly convoluted, and also kinda weird flavorwise.

Looks like Scythe of the Wretched. You could probably price it at four or five mana and it'd be okay.

Eh, not the way I see it. In practice, it's usually easier to keep track by removing a +1/+1 counter for each -1/-1 counter something gets, and vice-versa, but when it matters, the counters all still exist even though their effects cancel out.

No, I mean, it's an actual rule of the game. The counters eradicate each other.

120.2. If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it as a state-based action, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it.

Well why didn't you say it was in the rules in the first place! You made it sound like it was merely personal opinion! [lol]

It was a qualifying statement! I was pretty sure it was in the rules but I didn't know for absolute sure. I was afraid that Dark Confidant would call me a dumbass if I were wrong, but not so afraid that it overcame my inherent laziness so that I would go look it up. Thus, a qualifying statement. grin

On the other hand, the annihilation of anti-counters happens at the same time as a creature dies at 0 toughness, so if it got a bunch of +1/+1 counters and then got enough -1/-1 counters to kill it all at once, the creature still gets to say "yeah, I had all those +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters when I died." The same thing happens with Modular.

[up][up][up] It's inspired by a bizarre train of thought inspired by the way Animaniacs always used "Shortnin' Bread" when someone was eating, even if it was Wakko devouring a musket. Then I began messing around with the words, things got a little odd, and out came the Knee-Height Zombie Maiming Contraption.

The inside of my head is a weird place.
