Obsessive Lurker

{1} {U} {B}
Creature - Wizard Cleric
Whenever you counter a spell, draw a card and lose 2 lives.
1/3

''He lurks in the shadows, consuming and lurking''

Name, creature type and flavor text aren't final btw. Ideas anyone?


EDIT: I made this card, because I think it is a cool creature. It gives some card advantage, but also It makes you lose life, so its not too powerfull imo. maybe change the power and toughness or something.


Current Wording

Yes,Tarmogoyf is probably better than Chameleon Colossus, but comparing it to Tarmogoyf is like comparing your girlfriend to Carmen Electra - one's versatile and reliable, the other's just big and cheap.(And you'd run both if you could get away with)

I edited my post for nr2.

I dont see how I didnt obey nr3, I hadnt changed anything. I normaly only use the ''Current Wording" after I have changed the cards features.

Better wording:

"Whenever a spell is countered by a spell or ability you control, draw a card and lose 2 life."

Also, your explaination is really shabby: calling it "cool" and restating what it does is not sufficient. WHAT do you think is cool about it? Why would people care about this over other options like Shadowmage Infiltrator? Are there any decks you had in mind when creating this card? ELABORATE.

The requirement that you post some explanation is not a completion grade; simply throwing some words on the page is not sufficient. If you, the card's creator, can't find anything good to say about this, why should anyone else care?
