Really great in Limited with Infect, even with no way to replace its charge counters.

Very aggressive card in limited. You do not need to play red to make this card good. Strong interaction with infect and flyers.

Even if you are not playing red... probably the best trigon... that+3 power is just significant boost.. especially when playing infect...

Just orderes 4 of these for my mono black infect deck. occasionally, might even be able to rearm it with proliferate (if I haven't used the last counter ofc). Getting 3 cases of +3/+0 out of 1 card is incredible in infect. Can make your plague stinger hit like a skithiryx 3 times!

makes so many things ridiculous. I play it in a deck based around keeping the opponent busy while I mana ramp. This guy makes mana myr fearful, love love love.

I think it has been said already, but the best trigon and a great pick if playing infect in draft. This card has won me so many games, pumping the lone plague stinger or plague myr that gets through for lethal infection. Not to be underestimated at all.

Ridiculously good with Blighted Agent or Plague Stinger.

Works wonders in U/B infect/proliferate with Blighted Agent and Plague Stinger, although ideally, you wouldn't even need to add any counters to this guy.
@ PhyrexianAdvocate: How did you get 5 mana on turn 4?

I like to imagine the guy holding the trigon is using it as a weapon. "Hey, dude... its okay... he's dead... you can stop whacking him..."

I use it in a blue black control deck (infect proliferate) and it's quite nice. Even without infect; repeatable colorless pump SHOULD be more popular. At 4 mana the first activation is brutal, but after that you threaten a lot of damage.
I could see casual decks with this and first strikers. Also, token decks get use out of making sure the +3 hits home. Double Striking boros deck? Seems an easy include for all those 1/1 double strikers.
I love this card but I feel like a bad player; what am I missing? It seems so usable but it's 4 cents. I just.. see all these positive comments and don't get why it only saw limited and no one seems to care about it in other formats. ARG!
Maybe my view is skewed because i play a lot of multiplayer (and thus need to get a lot of work out of cards in the long run.) I just don't know...

Turn 2: Swamp, Trigon of Rage
Turn 3: Island, pass
Turn 4: Mountain. Swing with Goblin token. Cast Assault Strobe, Tainted Strike, Distortion Strike, and trigger the trigon. GG.
