if your opponent uses Lesser Werewolf to put +0/-1 counters on your creatures, and you put a +0/+1 counter on it, do they both get removed? Anyway, this card is mostly bad-ish.

clearly we are not worthy of +1/+1 counters.
Oh wait.

I'm so glad they only do +1+1 or -1-1 these days.
I don't agree with their decision to never do both in one set though.

According to one of those rules/ tips cards from shadowmoor, +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters react to each other the same way matter and antimatter would: by destroying everything on the field.
Just kidding, they cancel each other out and are both removed. No more no less.
I'm glad they discontinued +1/+0 counters and the like.

Terrible. Had it given out +1/+1 counters, it still would have been weak, but at least playable for its time. Now, it's just a slow and clunky joke.

Why is the creature type not Dwarf Spellshaper?
This is totally a proto-Spellshaper.

In fact it's the ONLY proto-Spellshaper!

Meh, weak. Also, a rare. Does not feel very rare to me.

So close to greatness, or at least playability. Between the discard, the mana, and the tap, the activation cost is clearly too high. If any one of the three elements were removed, I think the little guy would have had a chance. If the discard element was removed, this guy would have been pretty good, in a Thallid sort of way. Superior in flavor and mechanics to Dwarven Catapult.

Organizer Orc 1R 1/2 Summon Orc 1: Put the very last discarded card back into your hand. This ability only applies to the most recently discarded card. "Humber may not be very good at crafting, but we sure do like that he saves our tools and has us reuse scraps... on second thought... Maybe that is a craft?"

I started playing during Ice Age, so Fallen Empires was pretty fresh back then. It was still scoffed at, as I recall. Yeah, the set doesn't have too many cards still seeing play these days.
But I love the flavour in these old sets! The fatalism, the desperation of the various factions on Sarpadia can be felt thru the cards. Just look at this card's flavour text, for example. The gloomy atmosphere matches that of Myth: The Fallen Lords.
Give me story telling like this any day over that Bruckheimer-esque Eldrazi crap.
