You know, this would go realllly well as a morph. But I don't want to shoehorn yet another mechanic in, and having a single morph in a set would be stupid.

Heh. You mean Broodhatch Nantuko?

Was this one balanced? It seemed quite good.

Alex and R and I have now all played this completely wrongly. We both read it as "Put that many 1/1 into play", as nantuko. As written and intended, it puts 1 token into play each time it takes damage. So pinging it to death puts 3 into play; but normally blocking it with one creature or overkilling it for 50 - would only put one into play.

That's a pretty big power difference, but not very often. Should I change it?

(Reply in toothychat was: It makes it quite a bit more powerful. Acceptably so? On a 2/3 for 4, sure.)

Probably so. The alternative is extremely explicit reminder text, as on Ajani's Pridemate.

Oooh, yes - there's a really nasty one when you double block it. I have NO idea how the rules state that - probably the nonintuitive it's only taking damage once? Definitely changed.
