Comments
Typically paired with an effect that has a benefit/downside depending if the creature is tapped or untapped. This will be a part of my entry to the contest!
Painborn N(When this creature enters the battlefield, you may put up to N +1/-1 counters on it.)
Astral Projection (You may have this creature enter the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it. If you do, its a spirit in addition to its other types, and it has flying. )
"Creature type"-Slayer N(When this creature enters the battlefield, if an opponent controls a "Creature type", put N +1/+1 counters on this creature.)
