Should there be a mana cost somewhere in here? It also seems like the abilities are slightly disconnected.

It turns into "Remove two counters: Put a lot more counters on it." Because of that, there should definitely be some cost attached.

Oh, you mean a cost to cast? Yeah, it needs that too.

Well, it's a huge wall so that's not so bad, usually.

But yeah, given it doesn't itself need to block to get the first few counters it's a huge roadblock - and once it's got two counters, it will be very hard to attack past.

So it needs to be pricey; especially if someone thinks to use Animate Wall at it.

Apart form that though - it's not brokenly good, just good. At CMC6+ it's fine; at 5... maybe pushing it?

I think this could easily be 5 mana, plausibly 4 as an uncommon. 0/2 is pretty small initially, although it's effectively 1/3 even with no other blockers around.

I think the ability should only trigger on your creatures blocking, not everyone's, though. If you do want it to be everyone's then that probably pushes it up to 5 mana.
