untapping for a single green is a pretty solid combat trick when your opponent doesn't declare any blockers in hopes of an alpha strike on their turn.

I like to think of this as a Leaf Stone.

Cheap counter addition, and as Purple states, can be used against undying creatures. Perfectly utilitarian card.

Hm... kill an Undying creature's ability, adding the last little bit of power needed to kill a blocker/opponent or survive, getting a blocker just as you're attacked, drawing a card for G with your Flux Mage...

And this is a common.

Ok, HERE'S a good strategy to use with this card and Vorel of the Hull Clade:

Tap Vorel, for 2 mana and double a creature's counters.. Play THIS card, untap him, use his ability AGAIN to double the counters on the same creature!

5 total mana for quadruple counters??? Seems hella awesome in my book! Plus Vorel gets a tad more defense when he gets a counter from this! ^_^

Krenko, Mob boss always wanted to be a 4/4/ with Illusionist's Bracers and this he can make 16 tokens with him as the only Goblin on your side of the field!
