This makes scavenge more viable. The biggest issue scavenge has as an ability is the guy you throw your counters on to gets nuked pretty much much instantly. All you need to do is leave behind a green and you just saved your counters from dying along with it. That's the thing about split mana cards: they have big uses outside of the "intended" dual-colors.

Compare to the more expensive Fate Transfer. Pretty handy, since this is 1 mana for an effect Simic is going to love.

Triskelion with Corpsejack Menace and Primordial Hydra might be pretty banging.

This card won me a game.
Background- My friend had a Golgari Deck with ridiculous cards like Necropolis Regnant. It was generally really good- I could not beat it. After the Dragon's Maze prerelease, he had integrated Gruul elements. It went from good to unstoppable.
Anyway, we were at a stalemate, his rubblehulk slowly growing, and my Savageborn Hydra also growing. He had 15 health, and my hydra had 16 +1/+1 counters. Niether of us wanted to attack with our monstrosities, so we were stuck. I realized I had a Cloudfin Raptor on the field and this in my hand, while he had nothing with flying or reach. I shifted all the Hydra's counters to the puny 1/2 and swing for 16 in the air, winning the game.

Can you cast this card without any counters out on your creatures... choosing 0 as your counter choice?

I like the idea of using when removing a enemy's creature. During combat, throw this on the stack with a doom blade. Pull all the counters off of a blocking fattie and onto the creature you're about to toast. Two birds, two stones, 3CC.

Ironically, combining this with something like Catch // Release (Catch) could make an excellent Simic killer.

Bioshift your Lorescale Coatl's counters onto your Fathom mage.
You know you want to.

IF Monstrosity turns out to be a real keyword in Theros then this card is going to be awesome in the future. The ability to reuse a Monstrosity ability is going to be instant Shenanigans. If I am right then I will return to this and post the following message "Bingo!" But if I am being trolled then I will apologize ahead of time.
