@dadvk: There's nothing stopping you from putting more counters on a level up creature than would be useful. The formatting of the last row on a leveler is shorthand for "As long as this creature has X or more level counters on it..."

Generally this won't be very useful, but it can have certain niche applications. The most relevant one I can think of in Standard would be with Cryptoplasm. If you have it copy a level up creature, you can put level counters on it, and if you have it become a copy of a different creature it will keep those counters. So let's say that because of heavy proliferate and/or Teacher use, you have a Cryptoplasm copying something like Halimar Wavewatch but it has 12 counters on it. If you drop a Transcendant Master and have it live long enough for Cryptoplasm to become a copy of it, it'll become a fully leveled Master.

Just don't try to build a deck around that.

"Mason, my friend...Tell me...What is left to believe in, when you are betrayed by your own? When all that you are, all that you have done, is buried beneath the lies and the deceit of corrupt men. I will die in this wretched place... The only thing that keeps me alive is the thirst for vengeance. They must be stopped, Mason. Dragovich...Steiner...Kravchenko...ALL MUST die..."

Why is this a wizard? I think it should have been Human Advisor instead of wizard.

This + Unsummon = gameshark cheat for levelers!
Edit: Ouch, Splinter Twin indeed. Nice catch, Tommy9898!

Use him to chump block with Aether Tradewinds.
Declare the block, then bounce him and an unblocked attacker.

If you go red/blue with this guy and Splinter Twin, Lord of Shatterskull Pass may also be a good card to throw in. At the pre-release, leveling him up to 6 the hard way he was a BIG bomb. Splinter Twin on this would have been fantastic with that. For even more fun, throw a Crab Umbra on the teacher too.
