You could also make use of this guy to prevent growth of cultimative upkeep on one of your own permanents by removing time counters, or remove -1/-1 counters from your creatures.
My inner johnny made me try this out in a deck along with Power Conduit, Clockspinning and Chisei, Heart of Oceans.
I noticed that this guy is regrettably just too fragile to find efficient use, if it only had shroud, was 1/2 or even 1/3, this card would be more playable.
But this 1/1 body will be blown away in an instant, and since you have to wait one turn until he can finally remove a counter you'll have a hard time making use of this.
I'd really want to play Hungry Hungry Heifer instead, but on one hand, this card is banned for being from Unglued, and on the other i should be glad that Chisei could even get the chance to exist thanks to that cow.

I'm assuming Ferropede is supposed to be like a centipede, as well as cards like Gigapede. Well, even though their creature type is "insect", it shouldn't be. Centipedes and millipedes aren't insects. They belong to the subphylum Myriapoda.

My brother had an artifact deck that wrecked with this thing. This guy can win the game easy with the right cards. The aforementioned deck happened to be a Myr Skullclamp deck with Lightning Grieves, but even in your standard Affinity deck you can slap a Cranial Plating on this bugger and he'll swing for huge amounts of damage. Lightning Grieves gives him haste and makes him impervious to targeted removal.
Rated 4/5

@Arach: Way to swallow a textbook. Because giving a small amount of creatures a creature type that is extremely similar to an existing and well functioning one makes total sense. Especially since most players would understand the reason.

Who am I gonna believe? WotC or Arachibutyrophobia?
I think it's obvious centipedes and millipedes are insects..I mean.. WotC says they are; what more proof do you need?
