Interesting idea, I think. Any good, or too good?

Also, I need some flavor text.

Oh man you have to be careful with stuff like that second ability. I made a card based on that and I got a lot of flak for the design saying it was just bad. Mine was unable to be buffed or even targetted by any spells, so I'd say yours might be scary how you can give it +1/+1 counters and it will never leave and you can never even counter it in anticipation.
I like the idea, but it's a bit too strong of a creature despite it being a 5 mana 0/1. Just that simple second ability causes it to be a bit much.

The only way to deal with it is to pacify or phase it. But yeah, it basically becomes like, the control creature.
It also causes lots of problems. Can you sacrifice it as part of a cost or no? Because there's nothing saying it can't be destroyed, exiled or sacrificed, but at the same time, the field change doesn't happen. So does it just blink itself or does it count as though it was destroyed, exiled or sacrificed but still appears on the field as a new entity?

I have a solution
Myr- 5
If Myr would leave the battlefield, you may pay 2. If you do, return it to play under its owner's control.
0/1

You might get away with lowering it's casting cost this way as well idk

Flavor text
"Though it's kin now serve darker masters, there are some who refuse to bow"

don't like the card. Why would you want a 0/1 anyways?

What can I say, I like making pretty cards. Adding a bigger body with the uncounterability and that flavor text worked well.

Oh I noticed I typo'd up server too, heh. I make these cards pretty quick anyways. I've gotten fast at doin this kinda stuff and find art. I did an old set of robots and stuff so I have a lot of artifact art that can be used. Is there anything else I should change on the card?...I ask as if it's my card concept I made. Guy posts card idea, commentors take over the concept pft.

The original card would probably work very similarly to Platinum Emperion. Since your life total can't change, you can't pay life and you can't lose life.
Similarly, you can't sacrifice this guy in any way. Give it "prevent all damage this would deal" and it's good to go imo.

The original idea would be good with Worship if that's the case then.

Seems like if you can just send this guy out after Worship and basically say "Well thats game" unless you have something like Darksteel Mutation to remove the ability.

KalvinHobbez i like your version. Looks good. And that flavor text makes it awesome. I think my original version was a little weird.

Yeah it's hard to work around an effect like "Never leaves the battlefield", I would know because I was trying for a good while. Not only does it mess with the rules a bit too much, it's difficult to balance it correctly.

Um... yeah, what? Why is this? I don't even...
