This + some Paradise Mantles + Gilder Bairn means control of a lot of counters, not to mention that you can also steal counters (including, now, level counters) from your opponent's creatures!
Still, I was depressed to find out that it specifies creatures. Otherwise, you could have a lot of fun manipulating quest counters, stealing loyalty counters, etc.

Five stars for being able to untap for 1 mana (and that you can give his counters to your opponent's creatures).

That's a negative ghostrider, planeswalkers are not creatures.

Simply amazing. Combine him with some old and new cards and he kills.
I team him up with Springleaf Drum, leveling, infect and proliferating abilities.
Boost your filed, and deplete the oppositions

For added hilarity, use its ability to steal Gideon's counters when he turns himself into a creature. Now if only there were a use for loyalty counters on creatures.

turn Magosi, the Waterveil into a creature with Vastwood Animist and have lots of fun proliferating eon counters on other creatures and moving them back to magosi with this

As much as I hate to agree with a "OMG DOUBLING SEASON COMBOZ!" guy, he might be right. I'm pretty sure it works with Fate Transfer (another "move counter" effect), but I can't seem to find solid evidence for one side or the other... if someone knows of a judge ruling, let me know.
But DS says "If an effect would place one or more counters on a permanent you control, it places twice that many of those counters on that permanent instead." so even though it isn't generating the counter, it IS placing it. Just like you couldn't move a counter from this guy to Tatterkite, as it can't have counters placed on it. BUT look that again. "permanent you control" So you couldn't use the combo offensively as a pseudo-proliferate to add two -1/-1 counters on enemy creatures, only one. You could, however, move one +1/+1 counter FROM and enemy creature to place 2 one your own. That is, if this combo is ... (see all)
