Now that we have figured out the templating and proper abilities of my creature, it's time to get a bit deeper into things..

For reference:
Part 1a
Part 1b

Quote
?
{1} {W} {B}
Creature - ?
At the beginning of your upkeep reveal the top card of your library, lose life equal to it's converted mana cost; all other creatures get -X/-X where X is equal to the life lost in this way.
Whenever a creature is put into the graveyard from play, gain 1 life.
P/T: ?/?

Now we need to decide what kind of a creature this baby is.

I think the absolute strongest is overpowered at 4/4 and weakest is a 1/1, however, I'll let the community be the judge.  The poll will run for 3 days, during that time you will be able to vote on 2 options (preferably 1 power and 1 toughness).  After that time the poll will close and we shall see what the final outcome is.

This seems like the wrong way to go about this.  Suppose the poll went this way:

2/1:  10 people
1/2:  8 people
3/2:  3 people

In this case, 2 power and 2 toughness would win, so you would arrive at the conclusion that a 2/2 was best, despite nobody actually liking the idea of a 2/2.  There should have been options for specific combinations.

That said, I voted for 2/2.

If it is close we'll have a poll to define the winner but I'm not too concerned, let's wait and see what the results say.

After this poll closes, I will have a second poll to determine if the chosen P/T is acceptable by the masses.  When that poll is complete we will move on to step three if it is deemed acceptable.  If not we will re-vote with the other style of poll where each combination is listed.
