Kinda like a blade-tribe berserkers that can grow with downside. But if you REALLY need the 4 life, a 2/2 spark elemental.
3b -> 2bb
Probably a rare now
Most of them. Sometimes you want the gain, other times you might want to trigger a different bargain card. Notice many of them work any time you pay life.
Trying to prevent instadeath
Make it a 1/1 but add some other drawback? Make it a 1/1 but add half that many counters rounded up?
BTW, I like the flavour, but how is bargain supposed to work -- do all the cards have a reason to chose "pay" rather than "gain"?
What if Bargain was "as this creature ETBs..." instead of "when this creature ETBs..."?
That's... quite tricky, actually, if you want it to work with Bargain as written. A cast trigger won't work.
You could do a horrible hack like "~ ETBs with 4 +1/+1 counters on it. When ~ ETBs, at end of turn remove 4 +1/+1 counters from it."
But at that point you might as well say "~ ETBs with a negotiation counter on it. As long as ~ has a negotiation counter on it, it's not put into a graveyard for having 0 or less toughness. At EOT, remove a negotiation counter from ~."
The only elegant solution I can find is to make it a 1/1 rare for .

2nd mode was gain 3 life
