And Training Grounds goes and makes another fun card absolutely broken.

I'm with Swordfishtrombones on using this card with planeswalkers and levelers, but I'm unclear how it works with Magosi, The Waterveil - Pay U and tap Magosi to get an eon counter and you skip your next turn. At some point you use Gilder Bairn to put two eon counters on Magosi. You can then tap Magosi and remove a counter to take an extra turn; however Gilder Bairn's adding of counters doesn't let you utilize the extra counters because Magosi is returned to your hand as a part of its effect, so the extra counters disappears.

Gilder Bairn is certainly versatile, though. Great for levelers, as already mentioned, in any multicolor decks to get Kargan Dragonlords, Transcendent Masters, or, as Swordfishtrombones mentioned, Lighthouse Chronologists.

He also dominates with Mycoloth for a ton of Saproling tokens and the Myojins (especially Cleansing Fire) of the Kam... (see all)

Nobody's mentioned The Mimeoplasm? He gets along pretty good with this guy, either as a copy of him (attack then untap to double his size) or sitting next to him on the battlefield.

Spongee: The Reactor needs a counter first, and it only gets one on your next turn...

This doesn't work with helix pinnacle because the pinnacle has shroud, and this targets. But it does nasty things with planeswalkers.

Pentad Prism: Just get it up to 7 with manual mana, and you've got infinite all-color mana. (couple it with some easy tapper on this guy. Veteran's Voice just for laughs.
