Iiiintersting. Except, um, can't you just keep sacrificing its snakes to bring it back? Which makes it painfuly unkillable but with a lot of words to say it.

Once infex hits the graveyard its power will be one more than the number of snakes you have.

Yep. Unless you have a token doubler, you'll need to sac at least one non-snake. Plus it's upkeep only, so your opponent can kill off some of the 0/1s before you can use them.

Really, this was 100% a top-down design -- I wanted to design a skeleton that fell apart into a bunch of smaller dudes when it dies, but could put itself back together again. Somehow I ended up with this, though... Maybe it would be better if it had set power and created a set number of tokens, but had a mana cost in addition to sac-ing?

At that point it starts being very similar to Sekki

I like the idea of a skeleton hydra falling apart into bone snakes
