I wonder if "whenever a source you control deals noncombat damage" wouldn't be a clearer trigger.

Reminds me of War Elemental, but it's different enough to be its own card. I think the double strike definitely makes it mythic. I would even make it legendary.
ReplyDeleteFor mythic, I could also see increasing the casting cost and making it "that many" counters.
ReplyDeleteI like your alternate trigger more because a creature dealing damage with an ability still counts the creature as the source I think. The alt's also a lot clearer.
Personally I don't think cards like this are 'worth' mythic rarity. I think double strike is often overvalued in terms of rarity and leads to some pretty feel-bad cards to open. Personally, I don't think Warren Instigator and Prophetic Flamespeaker feel mythic at all, but they do feel really bad to open. Even Scourge Wolf felt bad and it was only rare.
ReplyDeleteI think double strike on this card moves it from Uncommon to Rare, and it would need another full ability to be considered Mythic-worthy.
I tend to agree here. I'm curious as to how many triggers you'd actually manage to get off in a limited format. It depends on the nature of the set I'm sure.
DeleteAlso, I like the suggested rewording.
