The Jitte's Retarded cousin.

its not bad, just not as flexible. this is better because you dont need to remove counters for the bonus, worse because it is only +1/+1

Well, as per the jitte, you can manipulate the counters with clockspinning or such, and instead of the jitte this brings immediately bonus to the equipped creature.
Not that bad, just could be better.

and... not legendary, so better to run with something like Kor Duelist or some other double strikers

The Jitte is overpowered. Not much use in comparing it to anything else, is there?

Pretty good if you put it on a Storm Crow.

you nead to remember that this came from miroden. the same block with Energy Chamber and the same set with Power Conduit. i agree that jitte is way over powered and that this is a watered doun version of it. but as said before, this is not legendary, and so haveing multiple on one creature can be very powerfull.

Great for Skyhunter Skirmisher or Kor Duelist, at least in casual games.

this card is significantly under ratted. as stated, this is great on double strikers. it doesn't take much for this to out do Vulshok Morningstar in terms of the effect to cost ratio. I'm not saying this card is great but a card that potentially gives +5/+5 or more for 2 deserves at least a 3/5.

Slightly Underrated. Definitely not a Jitte, but this card just gets better and better. Literally.

I don't understand why everyone is comparing it to a jitte. The jitte is ridiculously off flavor AND expensive... I'd love to see someone shell out $20 on a jitte when this gets the job done for double striking purposes AND you don't have to remove charge counters. Not to mention, the function with Soltari Guerrillas.

I prefer it over the Jitte for two reasons.
1. It's permanent. Constantly grows rather than requiring the removal of counters to fuel it.
2. I can actually afford it.

Ironically, it doesn't work well with the original Banshee.

Stick it on a Gilder Bairn. Add Proliferate to taste.

Keep in mind, the Jitte is legendary, this is NOT. this means you could put more than one on the field and reap in the benifits of putting them on each of your creatures.

or all on one. Sure, the jitte has double charge rate, and has better pumping, But the blade is constant. no removal of counters, no fuss, no muss.

Keep in mind, This doesn't mean the Jitte is crap, it just means this shouldn't be left out. You should put at least two in your jitte deck though, incase you need a solid boost.

Can't go wrong with it, thats for sure.

hmm stick it on a double striker (e.g fencing ace) then use world at war and you go +0, +1, +2, +3 damage in the first turn and then +4+5+6+7 in the next.
