This works well with Painter's Servant.

Not too playful by itself, but insane with Eight-and-a-Half-Tails.
Then it's like Erayo's Essence with an upkeep cost of 
and 1 life.
If you can manage to untap it or get this creature multiple times on your side, you'll be able to counter pretty much everything. In a white-black colored deck, notably.

With Eight-and-a-Half Tails, awesome, sure, but one thing that hasn't been mentioned is the particular types of spells that one would typically want to counter, and whether they are white by themselves. Most obvious are sweeper spells, like Wrath of God and Planar Cleansing, though of course, some exist in every color. To a lesser extent life gain is most often white, and the most annoying cards of that theme certianly are, like Beacon of Immortality and Felidar Sovereign. But most importantly, exile removal is white, like Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile. Throw out this kind of removal, and regeneration starts to become very attractive. Most creature based decks don't like sweepers and life-gain, and a lot of black creature decks have some sort of regeneration. Whether you actually activate this or not, that kind of deck ... (see all)

excellent thorn in the side...
and eight-and-a-half-tails is simply top quality, you'll find it works well with tons of cards/deck themes.

This is what I call a great Side Board card.

Artwork is very phyrexian.
