Wow, that's a lot of text.
Fetish (Whenever a nontoken creature dies, if this card has no fetish, you may exile that card.)
Chattering Skullstaff enters the battlefield with 3 charge counters on it.
: Put a 1/1 colorless artifact skull token onto the battlefield. Then, if Chattering Skullstaff has no fetish, remove a charge counter from it.
Edit: nvm, this let's you tap even if it has no fetish/counters.
Eh, this seems to be a lot of words for something that's basically not going to matter. Three counters is probably enough that the game's over by the time you run out.
I'm not even sure what causes this artifact to have a fetish. Did exiling a card do that? Because the card doesn't say.
Assuming that's the case, I think Kauefr's observation could be allayed by removing the line of text that adds counters on the Skullstaff when it enters the battlefield. It may be less 'fun' this way, but I'm sure more people will end up using the card because they now understand it.
Also, you could remove some of the reminder text in fetish. It makes thematic sense that you would only exile one card to each fetish... but 'if this card has no fetish' is just making this card wordier for very little gain.
