Given this has a built in mechanism for it; to address the memory issue; this would probably get changed to the not-quite identical "When ~ blocks a creature that doesn't have a -1/-1 counter on it, add one."

That's neat. By the way, I only have it this way because I didn't want it to be too good for common.

Remember kids, nicotine will never stop ruining your life. even after 1 turn!

(Just mumbling bad-but-better templates to myself: "~ puts a -1/-1 counter on creatures it blocks that lack one")

bad and better?

wait, bad because it's not how they do it. but better because lower word score in scrabble (:P) ?

Better because shorter and more stylish. Bad because; yeah; not how mtg templates go.

i had an idea to try and do stuff as short and stylish as possible (in my noncanon cardsets, which was just " The MRS " at the time) but i either never got to it, gave up on it or did a few cards like that. can't remember, that cardset is an anarchic warzone of fallen and then graffitid and then retagged shacks of past aeons of trashiness.
