obscure abilities
in my time of playing magic i have came across some abilities that are not really used in magic that much, so I am making a contest to use these abilities in a creative way, here thay are
-proliferate (you choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each a counter of a kind already there)
-poison counters (if a player has ten or more poison counters on them they loose the game)
-cumulative upkeep (the upkeep of a card gets bigger and bigger each turn)
-rampage (this creatures power and toughness increase a set amount for each creature beyond the first blocking it)
-Typecyling (you may discard this card to search your library for a specific type of card)
also tell me witch one of these you already knew

Because you have a small sample size doesn't mean the sample size is valid :P
