That's a more pleasant artwork than the original yeti, which inspired that card, had.

The artwork reminds me about the movie, The Thing.

Pulled three of these from the box of Coldsnap I got.

As such, I've developed a distaste for this card.

Fun to bounce and replay with Drake Familiar or something similar.

The good:
- I like the art
- very flavorful
- even if the aura gets destroyed, the counters remain on the creature
- great with doubling season
- great with any creature using +1/+1 counters (triskelion or ulasht, the hate seed for example)
- unlike equipment, can be also played on the creatures of teammates, in team based games

The bad:
- if the creature gets destroyed or stolen or bounced or anything, you lose two cards at once (typical aura problem)
- manacost is too high

Or in other words: no tournament quality, but a nice casual card to reload your trike or whatever.

I remember putting this in my first ever deck, a green-white one. It was a beast until my friends figured out that you can just kill the creature.
My favorite target was Devoted Retainer. Fear the power of my 7/7 dude who can become 8/8, and then grow steadily over turns! Good times.

This is much better than the original Wiitigo. Same cmc but you are basically pasting the wiitigo onto something else, and even if it loses all its counters it still lives and can make more

4/5

Expensive and dies with the creature, but silly-fun in the right deck. Piling up counters has its uses.

Increasing Savagery is so much better.
But this card could still be fun and win games! Plus it has crazy art, 3.5/5!

I put this in my Simic commander Graft/Modular deck, great when it goes on a modular creature and then when that creature dies just ping back Shape of the Wiitigo with Auramancer or something to have some more fun,muahahahahah

Arcanum Wings is funny.
T3 you get 6 +1/+1 counters. T4 you make it flying and bounce this aura. T5 you do it again to a new critter.
