Wouldn't this card make everything much easier? Now you could even encode the HALT state!

That is amusing and clever. It rather takes some of the fun out of it though. :P (In the same way as it's much more fun to find a Turing machine in Conway's Life than in Wireworld, it's more fun to find one in MtG than in, say, Minecraft.)

I'd be happy if they just printed a mirrored pair of pseudo-Lords, something like:

Whenever a Knight enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on each Soldier.

Whenever a Demon enters the battlefield under your control, put a -1/-1 counter on each Minion.
