If I have something that buffs creatures like elesh norn, could I keep paying 0 to make 0/0's removing 0 counters?

By any chance is Hoofprints of the Stag be referencing Marath, Will of the Wild?

The fact that you have to keep investing mana for his effects makes him a bit less powerful than the other commanders IMO.

To be fully honest, he's really just a tiny X Spell with options that you have to pay for twice per shot and that gets bigger and more expensive as the game goes on. By himself he's actually really weak...with Doubling Season, Primal Vigor and perhaps even a Parallel Lives on the field, he's a god...but still strictly worse than Ghave, Guru of Spores, who scales the same way and who goes infinite off of Ashnod's Altar with any of the above (except a lone Parallel Lives, that's not quite enough).

Food Chain will turn your manabase into pump, damage or tokens!

If I'm understanding this correctly, you can use him with Chorus of the Conclave to pour your excess mana into casting him, and receive double the counters for doing so. Still, this guy is a pretty effective mana sink on his own, so I'm not sure its worth it.

Fun card to play as a commander (obviously). He makes tokens (of different sizes), damages creatures or players and can distribute +1/+1 counters easily.
I'm using Basilisk Collar and Gorgon Flail to help kill nasty creatures, and don't be afraid to kill this guy. I've casted him turn 3 and killed him via making tokens and pinging creatures turn 4 just to bring him back turn 5 with even more counters. Rinse and repeat (especially if you keep dropping lands and have ramp going)
Great card. 5 stars

All the 2/2s.

WIthout errata, Blade of the Bloodchief is a rofl-stomp. With it, it's still pretty good. And since he can target himself with the add counter ability, Illusionist's Bracers is actually the aggressive utility equipment that you want.
Overall, I think he's a pretty good improvement over Ghave, Guru of Spores from the last packs. Ghave just really wanted a little built-in removal, some aggressive potential, and some continued playability after the first death. Same combos basically apply too, since most didn't use Black.
