You cannot run this with Experiment Kraj. The phantom ability is a triggered ability, and Experiment Kraj only copies activated abilities.

Back when I really didn't understand Magic's rules, this guy confused the hell out of me. Though even then I knew he was good.

Trample seems to be rather pointless here, doesn't it?

I like this guy, only because he's a blocker unto infinity.
Block, tap for the counter, remove the counter, done. One-man fog.

@Argylpuff you can't give Krajj the ability, but you can use Krajj to put more counters on Phantom Nantuko, allowing it to attack or block each turn with impunity.
This is a decent card on it's own, but it really shines when paired with static effects that boost power and toughness or effects that allow counters to be continuously placed. My first thought with this is Beastmaster's ascension. Second is Vigor. If that can't win you the game you're doing it wrong.

@Drummer_Gamer93
Trample means that the attacking creature assigns "lethal damage" to each creature blocking it, then assigns the rest to the defending player. Barring shenanigans like deathtouch or absorb, "lethal damage" is damage equal to the blocking creature's toughness at the time damage is assigned. So, the trampler will assign damage to this equal to its toughness, then that damage will be prevented and a counter removed.
Example: You control a just-played Phantom Nantuko with 2 counters. I attack you with a 6/5, trampling Vulpine Goliath, and you decide to block with the Nantuko. The Goliath would then assign 2 damage to your Nantuko, and 4 to you. After damage is assigned, the replacement effect from your Nantuko will take effect and prevent the damage. At the end of the exchange, the Nantuko will have 1 counter, and you will have taken 4 damage, rather than 6.
Incidentally, the exact same situation happens when the blocking c... (see all)
