very powerful card and hard to deal with outside of destroy effects.

7 mana: 21 damage, gain 21 life. That's if it's blocked and damaged every time it attacks. True, most of the damage is useless, but a big enchantment or equipment will make it more useful at first and then it doesn't die either.

This guy owns, I saw it mixed in with a counter deck, the guy could get it to a 10/10 easy. If someone would mess with it, he would just Rebuff the Wicked.

Give it persist to make kitty even more unkillable. Play Doubling Season to really screw over your opponents. And Search For The Gemblades, and Beastmaster's Ascencion.

Ugh, sooo good. Weird card. 5/5

Basically: 7/7 Trample, Lifelink, Remove a +1/+1 Counter: prevent all damage to Mr. Cat

It doesn't have lifelink guys, so feel free to throw Lifelink on him and double up the life gain.

I remember using Reanimate on this guy. He was such a good target because you got all of the life back that you lost getting him into play.

As the ruling for this card point out: "The damage prevention ability works even if it has no counters, as long as some effect keeps its toughness above zero."

All you need is some equipment or an enchantment that gives him a small boost. Considering there's at least a thousand such cards, you could say "combos with everything". 5/5.

I'm so glad the Oracle gave this guy the Cat type as well. Lets him fit into my cat deck quite nicely.

Also, if I'm reading this right, he's immune to Deathtouch and Infect, barring any effects that prevent damage being prevented? Doubly awesome.

@A3Kitsune: Giving it +1/+1 tokens is always a bad idea; you'd be better off putting them on a creature that won't remove them. Give it auras that raise its power and toughness instead, since it'll be immune to damage once it runs out of counters.

Love getting him back with Reveillark in commander.

Also, doesn't his life gain ability stack with lifelink?

Archangel of Thune or Sunbound makes it nearly unkillable by damage.
