With Purphoros, God of the Forge, this becomes a turn-by-turn increasing damage effect.

@Asmodi0000:
Prepare to be one-upped.
Just let it sink in the absolute insanity that was required to allow this and Purphoros, God of the Forge to be in the same Standard in only 2 colors.
Let's break it down.
Purphoros turn 4, this turn 5.
Assuming no other cards, here's how it works out.
Turn 6: 1 Soldier total, 2 total damage.
Turn 7: 3 Soldiers total, 6 total damage.
Turn 8: 6 Soldiers total, 12 total damage.
Turn 9: 10 Soldiers total, 20 total damage.
Turn 10: 15 Soldiers total, 30 total damage.
Turn 11: 21 Soldiers total, 42 total damage.
Turn 12: 28 Soldiers total, 56 total damage.
Now, if you attack with each Soldier each turn and they aren't blocked, it looks like this:
Turn 6: 1 Soldier, 3 damage
Turn 7: 3 Soldiers, 10 damage total
Turn 8: 6 Soldiers, 22 damage total
Turn 9: 10 Soldiers, 40 damage total
Turn 10: 15 Soldiers, 65 damage total
Turn 11: 21 Soldiers, 98 damage total
Turn 12: 28 Soldiers, 140 damage total
Now if that isn't terrifying enough... (see all)

I know "Muster" counter works but it still sounds so silly.

it's a really fun card but Silent Arbiter would be annoying against that token spam card.

When I first read this card, I got so excited about muster counters...
Then I realized it's a decent card too. Haste is a nice touch, it's a shame though since {R}{W} is generally a pretty aggressive combination and won't wait around for the counters to build up on this...

Mentor of the Meek or Soul Warden with Well of Lost Dreams seem like natural partners. You can use all three if you like drawing gobs of cards.

Kind of limited in terms of flexibility, but you can still do some evil with it. Purphoros, to Assemble the Legion, to Jokulhaups, to table flip. Slow, but it has a nice payoff. Anything that gives you a reason to nuke the board is awesome. 4/5

Well, that's embarrassing. I was wrong, Vorel only copies Artifact, land and creature counters.
