Many instants give +2/+2 or +4/+4 for G, as conditional Giant Growth. Might of Old Krosa and Groundswell are both good examples. This is another conditional one, and like Groundswell, some decks will find that condition easy to meet.

Use this on Ezuri's brigade with metalcrafting and you get a 12/12 with trample for one turn.
Mirran mettle is to Giant Growth as Galvanic Blast is to Lightning Bolt. That being said, i'm glad Wizards gave some artifact-loving cardsto red and green, traditionally the colors with the most artifact hate.
Anybody else kinda saddened by this card? I don't mean mechanic wise, +4/+4 is pretty good, but i mean in the sense that lets say that there was 2/2 mirran survivor, agaisnt a 4/4 phyrexian invader, and then with mirrian metal they became a 6/6 and survived... but then at the end of the turn, they would die due to the -1/-1 counters

Mirran stamp aside, this will be brutal in Livewire Lash infect decks.
It's a pun.
Mettle. Metal.
