This just seems like a random assortment of abilities.

Not only that, but it could certainly have its wording cleaned up.  I don't have time to do this at the moment, so I'll maybe do that later.

That casting cost is ridiculously harsh, especially for a card that can come out for free.

I see that it disables and slowly kills one creature at a time, but surely there's a better way to do this?

Honestly, I liked the name, so I made a card for it.

I realize that it is a crappy card, so I made a new one!

Changes made!

That's much better. Why the blue, though?

To clean it up, it should probably read:

All creatures gain "This creature can't attack unless its controller puts a -1/-1 counter on it. (This cost is paid as attackers are declared.)"

Or better yet, "Whenever a creature attacks, put a -1/-1 counter on it."

That works too.

I actually like the trigger better, but the creator seemed to want a "cost" for attacking.

But, this trigger is has less words and is easier to understand.
