Summon a Bloodthristed Bloodscale Prowler, attack and Bloodrush a creature onto it, then cast straight-up Blood.

Dracula ain't got SHIT on the Gruul.

The flesh part is somewhat random and overcosted in my opinion. The blood part however is very nice.

The problem of the flesh part is following:
a) it can only exile creatures, whereas there exist also quite a number of other cards that are dangerous while in a graveyard
b) sorcery speed, you can't exile a creature in response to a reanimation spell to interrupt combos
c) mana cost. five mana in two colors is a huge amount. Compare it to cremate. It's a cantrip, instant speed, can exile any card and costs only one mana.
d) if you have no creature to put the counters on, or it has shroud or protection from green or black or whatever, then you are forced to put the +1/+1 counters on a creature your opponent controls
e) ideally you wouldn't want only any creature to put the counters on, but one that can actually make good use of the counters, such as, for example, a triskelion
f) unless you exile your own stuff, the card is quite random. Your opponent might not have ... (see all)

Someone in R&D must have a Kresh the Bloodbraided Commander deck cause this is a snap add for that deck.

I wish Blood would be reworded as "Target creature you control fights target creature or player."

@Majinkajisan I believe the regeneration would cause you to counter your own spell. So yeah, Blood is better than the example you gave.

Good for getting rid of your own creatures (such as one with a stab wound on it), because you can power up your opponent's creature and then make it fight yours.

@Pick15, Actually, the only one out of that list to not hit the graveyard is the colossus, as the others hit the graveyard, and are then shuffled into your library, so if for example, you had an alchemists refuge, or quicken or perhaps hypersonic dragon, you'd be able to use this card on Emrakul or the Wurm.
