Why has no one mentioned lv up creatures such as echo mage, or lighthouse chronologist, seriously this is insanely good {X} cards especially with primordial hydra well at least agressively, im not a slow build up person, it's all about fast and efficient.

Whose bright idea was it to include 
as a mechanic? That just seems silly...

Too bad you can't manipulate Gilder Bairn to work with poison counters on a player...Or is there? I (personally) don't know...Perhaps someone will figure it out. I'm really curious, what is an actual player considered in magic... Is it a permanent? IMO a player is the most permanent object in the game...The reason for the game to be played is based on two players (or permanents) coming together to play a game for supremacy. Planewalkers are considered permanents (they act like a tag teaming homeboy/home girl on your behalf). They have loyalty counters which Gilder Bairn works well with. So I pose the question again... If a player had POISON counters on them, could Gilder bairn make more of them and set a cancerous play into effect? Ending with 1 poison bite and then starting the deathclock on that player to die within.......say 4 turns. The poison decks may perhaps make a come back...I hope someone will set me straight!

Wow! I just thought of a great combo all by myself! This and Doubling Season!
Just kidding. I just wish that Wizards would ban doubling season so people stop talking about it.
I really want this card, though.
EDIT: Magosi the Waterveil DOES NOT WORK with this card. You have to bounce Magosi when you take an extra turn, thus removing ALL eon counters from it.
This also doesn't work with Lighthouse Chronologist if you are running mono-blue, as you are paying just as much mana, if not MORE, than you normally would to get him all the way. Otherwise, if you are running other colored land, then yes, the two work together.

Great for those "20 counters FTW" cards.

Great with any of the Quest cards from Zendikar.

Hey, does this work with Planeswalkers? If so...then this + damn near any planeswalker...Chandra Ablaze or Garruk Wildspeaker or of course Jace, the Mind Sculptor or even Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker hek...even Sarkhan Vol and then just tap 2 colorless mana and double the amount of loyalty counters, such as Cloudpost and Vesuva for max counters...yes Vampire Hexmage could remove them...but only a retard would do all this boosting and let that happen.

I run this guy in my Simic deck along with a few Kraj. One particularly nasty game was against an Elf deck. I had managed to get out enough big creatures out they couldn't yet swarm me when I drew a Cytoplast Manipulator. Drop her on the field, tap Kraj to steal a Priest of Titania, tap it for nine mana, use three of it to activate the untap ability, tap, add nine mana, untap, double counters, tap, add nine mana, untap double counters, then stole most of the remaining elves and swung with a 42/42 Mormir Vig and a 100+ Kraj.
