Huh; this is an interesting tweak on modular. Occuring on ETB instead of death makes it a lot less flexible; and so you have to consider keeping some of the tokens spread about rather than piling them all on a single super-creature. Decisions like that are good.
Haste counters are kind of weird for that - once you have one, you probably don't need another one. So this is more of an enabler than a core part of the mechanic. Seems like a nice card to me.
