Blessing of Leeches

[Bakes]

This card is from the new set Betrayers of Kamigawa. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this but this may have some infinite abilities to go with it. For one the card's mana cost is 2B. This is somewhat cheap for type one combo. Its wording: Enchant Creature: "You may play Blessing of Leeches any time you may play an instant.""At the beginning of your upkeep you loose one life."" 0: Regenerate enchant creature."BINGO!!! infinite triskelion! Triskelion pings it's oponent twice and pings itself once.(Triskelion comes into play with four +1/+1 counters on it, Remove a counter from Triskelion: Triskelion deals one damage to target creature or player)Questions? Comments?

1. Triskelion comes into play with 3 +1/+1 counters, not 4.

2. If you use the third counter to ping itself and then regenerate it, it stays a 1/1. How does this allow for an infinite combo?

Regenerate: Regeneration is a destruction-replacement effect. "Regenerate [permanent]" means "The next time [permanent] would be destroyed this turn, instead remove all damage from it, tap it, and (if it's in combat) remove it from combat." Because it's a replacement effect, it must be active before the attempted destruction event. Abilities that trigger from damage being dealt still trigger even if the permanent regenerates.
