Choose target creature an opponent controls with greater power and toughness than any creature you control. When that creature dies this turn, if no creatures you control have died this turn, put two +1/+1 counters on each creature you control.
The series has several occasions where a situation seems impossible, and the Black Knights are getting restless, panicked, distrustful. Zero will usually pull out an astonishing, seemingly-impossible miracle, using his Geass and masterful strategic planning, to restore morale.
This is an attempt to reflect those scenes. The payoff I feel is about right, but the trigger could vary. I want it to be something like "there's a terrifying opponent over there, way too strong for us!"
I'm not especially keen on the way a single kill spell combos quite so well with this. I considered also something like "Choose target creature an opponent controls blocking or blocked by a creature you control with lower power and toughness. When the opponent's creature dies this turn, if your creature didn't die..." But bleh, that's a lot of words.
