: Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature.
broken?
Still pretty much worse than Steel Overseer. Funny how artifacts can have better creatures with less restrictions (flying etc) than green.
Considering that Ridgescale Tusker is called a "mythic uncommon", I think this is a bit much at this rarity. Inspiring Roar and Nissa, Voice of Zendikar may be worth of note too - as in what rarity each of them are and how powerful they are in relation to that.
Note that this one is each creature - in particular, including opponents' creatures too. It's still very powerful, but a bit subtler than Ridgescale Tusker. It's more like Thran Weaponry.
Oh... If that is indeed on purpose then I would be inclined to put a reminder text on it since in this case it's so easy to miss - like on the portal version of Armageddon.
Ie.
> Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature (including those your opponents control).
or
> Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature. (This includes creatures you control.)
Though I have a propensity to use reminder texts much more frequently compared to how WotC uses them.
Heh. I can't remember which magazine it was in, but back when magazines for Magic existed, one of them mocked up a joke version of Armageddon which included reminder text for the word "Destroy", the word "all", and the word "lands".
While that's true, in this case I think reminder text would indeed be warranted.
I'm not sure what I would do in this case. Reminder text does feel odd, when it's just literally what the card says. But without reminder text, I agree most people including me are going to read it wrong -- wizards have been pushing for effects to mostly affect your creatures, and we're trained to always expect that.
I wonder if it would be justified to say something like "Each player puts a +1/+1 counter on each creature they control" even if that would usually be superfluous templating.
You don't need reminder text. Just word it as "Put a +1/+1 counter on all creatures"
The change in wording will mean that skims won't happen, people will double take and realize the meaning.
