and I was just saying that I don't know anybody who would use that card.

if it blocked a 1/1 as a 1/1, they both would just die

but if it were to block a 1/1 as a 1/2, it would become a 2/3

you need to use an enchantment or equipment to make it useable.

speaking of, it would make a decent equipment.

"equipped creature gets +X/+Y where X is the combined power of all creatures defeated by creatures with Katamari equipped and Y is the combined toughness of all creatures defeated by creatures with Katamari equipped"

First you need to add something small and manageable to it, like a thumbtack or a +1/1 token.

Edit: Baron'd!
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

A +2/+2, or a bravado... or a number of other enchantments would make it good.

[nitpick]Katamari Damachi is the game name, the ball is just a Katamari[/nitpick].

Lightning bolt, how do I love thee. let me count the ways.

You know, I'd make the card 1/4, give it trample and "This card gains +1/+0 every time it attacks" Makes more sense to me really.

Trample definitely makes sense.... and 1:4 sounds about right. The bugger is impossible to kill...maybe if it doesn't kill what it attacks, it loses one of the counters? (things fly off when you hit something too big)

that would make sense to me.

perhaps it would gain the casting cost divided however the owner wished though?

like lets say it kills something that costs one to play, it gets either +1/+0 or +0/+1, and if it cost 2 it gets 2 counters of whatever combination.

If you're going to make this a real card, it's not THAT hard...

Katamari (Lets say 3 Mana cost)
Artifact Creature

Stats are 1/4. Even a small katamari is pretty damn tough.

It gets First Strike and Haste up to say 4 counters. Most people ignore small katamaris, letting them strike fast and in secret.
After 4 counters, it loses First Strike and Haste, but gains Trample. A katamari smashes everything in it's way when it gets big.

Every time Katamari kills a creature, it gets 1 counter on it. Each counter grants the Katamari +1/+1 (It's bigger and tougher). For every 3 damage the Katamari takes, it loses 1 counter (Stuff getting knocked off by a strong blow). Every time the Katamari attacks and doesn't kill, it also loses 1 counter.

Well you can cut most of that. Most of it was just explenation of my resoning. The actual text would read something like:

Katamari has First Strike and Haste. At 5 counters, Katamari loses First Strike and Haste, and gains Trample.

Every time Katamari kills a creature, put a +1/+1 counter on it. It Katamari attacks but doesn't kill a target, remove 1 counter. If Katamari takes 3 damage or more in one attack, remove 1 counter.

you'd need to take out the blank line in between to make it fit, but yeah, it could work like that.

you just don't get any flavortext

I vote to leave the original flavor text... :P

Also, I've seen longer cards. The text can get reaaaaally small...

The flavor text on that card is good...

And definitly. There was this one card that had like practically microscopic text that carefully explained rules for controlling another players creatures using the card. This is light in comparison.

I think a better version would be...

Katamari: 6

Legendary Equipment

6: Equip Katamari to target creature.

Equiped creature gains "Tap: Destroy target permenant with converted mana cost less than or equal to the number of counter on Katamari, place 1 counter on Katamari." And "If Katamari has more counters than all permenants in play, you win the game."

If suddenly a clod of earth should rise,
And walk about, and breathe, and speak, and love,
How one would tremble, and in what surprise
Gasp: “Can you move?”

Needs to start with some counters.
