Original Card: Leeches ­

­
• Colorshifted to black. ­
­
• Added the second mode "Remove all counters from target creature..." ­
­
• Counters lost by the player is indiscriminate. Right now, I'm pretty sure players can only get poison counters, but this leaves the door open to future cards. ­
­
• Replaced 'deals damage' with 'loses life'. ­

Leeches doesn't make any sense in Homelands, and barely makes sense in the history of Magic. Poison counters weren't a real threat in 1997, and even if they were, black could just kill the creatures instead dealing with the poison counters.

I'm adding some cards with poison counters in the timeshifted sheet to give this card relevance. But I figured it could use something else what I'm at it. 98% of the time, Murder will be a better card. But at least this card offers some options... and maybe people can even find some ways to use it on their own creatures for profit (it does, for example, remove -1/-1 counters quite nicely. And Homelands has plenty of them...) Still, maybe I should drop the cost by an additional , just to give it some teeth? Don't know.

Also, in the file I already flipped the two modes. People should see that Leeches still does what it always did, before reading the second mode.

Oh, and yes, rare black card number six. sigh
