This card is a bit awkward. I understand why you've made it 3 cmc - you're unlikely to have a creature to grow if you cast it on turn 2. But it's sort of like map the wastes from fate reforged (also 3 cmc). Because ramping for one on turn 3 is usually not that exciting, the card is quite bad and only playable if you really need the fixing. I think this card will have the same problem, except it even punishes you if you want to fix. Maybe staple the growth counter onto a grisly salvage effect instead would avoid this problem. Alternatively you could just give this 2 cmc, and that way it is just a playable card that is still OK to topdeck later.

it's a lot easier to just make it so i'm doing that
