I don't really understand the high praise of this card. Sure, he would make for an interesting white-weenie EDH general, but his lack of haste or evasion (or even vigilance) makes him a pretty fat target for an opponent. Also, consider that for the mana cost, Ajani Goldmane is far more efficient. You can't pump 7 or 8 mana into Ajani, but at least he has an effect the turn he comes into play AND gives creatures vigilance.

Honestly, he'd probably be a great card even without the ability to tap himself to regrow counters. It's just icing on the delicious cake. Flexibility ftw!

Well, it can't really be 'from the vault' if it's new, now can it?

@Corey_bayoudragonfly: They did the same thing with Hellkite Overlord and FTV: Dragons, by the way.

Sure it can, who says they can't lock up new things they haven't revealed before into the vault?

I feel like mentioning Doubling Season, but then, when isn't that card mentioned on anything with counters.

First time I saw this I thought it was a 1/1. Now that would rock standard. A white hydra that can share its counters around and is playable at any point on your curve? Wow.
I know this guy is great, but every time I see him I remember what I thought he was and get a little sad.
