Yeah, the "add counters, then remove them" is a fantastic mechanic that I wish they implemented in more cards.
That said, Homarid sucks and gets points only for nostalgia and hilarity.

Homarids need to make a comeback, but with better abilities. That would make me super happy.

O-o??
This card confuses me, I thought I understood this game.

The card's name should have been "Ignore me completely". You can tell by the fact that it's a 1/1 for 3 for 1/4 turns, with no other abilities of note.

I really like the mechanic, but you'd think that they would put the mechanic on a playable card, right?

Oh yes. Homarid indeed. Oh how I love the random card button.
So, what exactly can you do with a 2/2 for 3, that sucks 1/4 the time and is meh 1/2 the time and is decent 1/4 the time? You could suggest they make this card a 3/3 to be playable, OR you could play it anyway, because it is in fact a homarid.
I'm going to go with the latter suggestion. So I'm going to play with Homarid. Yes that card from Fallen Empires. Yes that is in fact one of my favorite blocks. So what if it's bad. So flavorful! So much art! God I love that about fallen empires. I recently went out of my way to buy a play set of thallid from fallen empires, one of each art. They are that cool. I want to do that with Homarid, because this card is so cool. In case you are wondering, my favorite Thallid art is the Ron Spencer art and my favorite Homarid art is the Quinton Hoover art.
Alas, I appear to have digressed for a few sentences, so back to pla... (see all)

Homarid is just so poorly designed. It starts as a 1/1 but the bottom right corner tells you its a 2/2 if that's the first thing you look at.
It should have been printed as a 1/1 that gets a +1/+1 counter every upkeep until all the counters are removed when it gets a 3rd counter.
That'd be much simpler than this.
If it was printed in a set with -1/-1 counters instead of +1/+1 counters it could be printed as:
Homarid 2U
Creature - Homarid
Homarid enters the battlefield with three -1/-1 counters on it.
At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a -1/-1 counter from Homarid. IF you can't, put three -1/-1 counters on it.
4/4

It's got a spear! They've figured it out! And you'd better run from that thing if you ever see one in real life!
