Green Elemental Blast!
No, it was an instant with a printing error. :)
how does this work? it's an Aura without the Enchant keyword. and the ability sounds like an instant.
The idea was that the card would pick up the counters you had been accumulating, for example, with Door of Destinies. It was never meant to duplicate counters (and if it did, it wouldn't have done it with the old wording, since only experienced rules guy would have picked up on that).
Yes, I quite like the original wording and the way it doubled counters.
I don't know... it's a nice add. I'd have to say that without the counter clause, it's just a rare... an evolution of clone. Personally, I think it might be... shinier... if the counter clause was on a different line. But otherwise, I like it.
You don't need to say anything about counters whatsoever. The only things that's going to help with are creatures like Mikaeus, the Lunarch or Nimbus Swimmer that enter with X counters, and most clones don't worry about those.
Oh, whoops. That definitely wasn't the intent. I thought copying a planeswalker would leave it with no loyalty counters, but I guess not. I hadn't thought about Pentavus.
It's six mana because it is the first card ever to copy any kind of permanent, and I wanted to play it safe. :P
Fixing the wording... but this card could have a case of "there's no fitting template".
Hm? I read it as only getting the number of counters that the source permanent had...
...Oh, except I see, yes, it does double the counters on things that say they enter with counters already, like Pentavus and, yes, planeswalkers. Yikes.
Wow, the counter clause lets it ultimate immediately when entering as many planeswalkers.
Looks funky! I suspect it doesn't need to be 6 mana and 5 would do just fine, given that the Clone baseline was rather obsoleted by Phyrexian Metamorph being able to clone either creatures or artifacts for effectively just 3 mana.
The counter clause is interesting. I'm sure some fun things can be done with it.
Looking at this now, it reminds me of Petals of Insight. But it doesn't actually have much in common with it. That's card-draw or buyback
; this is (much smaller) card-draw and buyback 
.
Using it on yourself is just Ignorant Bliss without the cantrip, which is pretty bad. But on the opponent this is fun.
I'm surprised that Suppress rates 3.4. I don't think an instant version would be too strong, or out-of-pie for red, but it should probably be 3 mana.
I'd never seen Suppress. I didn't think about seeing your opponent's cards. That is a problem. I didn't think this was that good, but it's cool that it's an instant. It could be
or 
.
It's red because it's messing in "red doing things other colors can but only temporarily".
Even more flexible than that, since you can use it on yourself to dodge discard, or achieve instant Hellbent. Also, use it on your opponent after they draw a card, before their first main step to, roughly, Time Walk that player (with suppress, you could always hope you drew a playable card that turn. This denies you that).
Suppress has a rating of 3.419, so it didn't really need much help to be a 4 star card. This is probably too far over the top.
Suppress, but less mana, more flexible, it lets you see their cards, and it's in a color which is less into discard?
