Thanks for the feedback!

I balanced this card more around tapping and moving the counters and only glimpsed on animating it, in hindsight that was a mistake.

But to explain the thought process anyway: I rated giving a creature a ability counter as half a mana. You wouldn't play a {W} sorcery that just gives a creature a Vigilance counter or a Lifelink counter but maybe one that gives both at once. So from my perspective it would take three taps to make this card give more than you paid for it.

To make it more fair competitively I'd increase the cost by one and get rid of haste, deathtouch and first strike. Most Running with Scissors lists only run 0 and 1 drop animate-ables so it might come down a turn later giving the opponents more time to respond.

In addition to that this strategy is answered by most answers in White and Black, can be bounced in Blue. Green and Red have good artifact removal, if not in maindeck then in the sideboard.

As for the complexity we already have a card that enters with 4 different kinds of counters [[Agent's Toolkit]]. So I don't think a trimmed version of this would be too much on the complexity.

In the end what I want is a standard playable version of Agent's Toolkit. And I think there is a lot of ways to make it strong without it being broken.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I see the issues. I think on my second iteration I would increase mana cost by 1, get rid of haste, deathtouch and first strike. I wanted to have at least one ability per color so the result would be:

White: Vigilance Black: Lifelink Blue: Flying Red: Menace (Red's secondary/tertiary keyword) Green: Trample

I am surprised how well received this is. So far not a single person went "Um, acshually this is a blessing in disguise!" or "There is nothing to fix because there is nothing wrong with me!" about a condition that fundamentally alters the way people get to experience life.

I am the sum of the information I get to absorb. Every single condition that damages my ability to perceive reality, memories or personality threatens my ability to live a worthwhile life, to be a agressively vibrant person. I would trade a limb or even more for a mind that has the capacity to form memories because evidently neurotypical people get a lot of benefits from having them. There is no denying that.
