Yes, now Thragtusk is actually playable.

I really, REALLY like this card because even though it has another card that gives it a 'shout-out' by name, this one is independently useful with a broad array of cards. =)
I like shouting-out names on cards, but it's also important to give a slight preference to 'synergy' over 'outright combo'. Combo HAS it's place, but it's place needs to be relatively small.

So very good with so many things, as Troutz pointed out, the ability triggers on the end step, which means you ARE likely to get one counter for your troubles.

If we still had Thragtusk that would be pretty nasty, since killing the tusk just gives it another target to stack counters on anyway.

Fine in limited. Without beasts is just barely playable, with beasts it's great.
Outside limited though it's just not powerful enough.

Question, is this a one time counter at the beginning of that one end step, or is it a counter every end step while he's in play?

@bigboybeard
This triggers at the beginning of each of your end steps. I can see why it could be confusing since if you just read it like english, it is actually quite unclear.

I remember Ring of (Insert random area here) in M13 were quite the trouble when you gave it to a creature of its colour.
The thing here that is exceptionally advantageous is the "At the End Step" clause. Drawing this late-game and hoping for it to give your Kalonian Tusker a +1/+1 counter at the beginning of the upkeep may not be enough to keep yourself alive.
A very solid creature in limited and great for beginners.
