Adameve Endo-Order   

Creature -  Demon Human 

Ability - Demonblood 2 (Each demonblood can be use to assign a set of -1/-1 counters to target blocking creature. When Demonblood is at 0, this creature is exiled.)

You may cast this creature spell as a Demon instead, if you do, this creature is a 1/5 Demon with Defender. At your upkeeps, give another creature you control a -2/-2 counter. Creatures removed from the field are exiled instead.

2/2

 

P.S
Should I tried to replace large blocks of text description with an ability? Someone told me that I cannot create a player-friendly card if it has too many terms and condition to make it worthwhile.

I think I want to create a set for this mechanic, so I can use made-up abilities to polish the bits and bolts for a card like this. 

There're more things I want to introduce along with the mechanic using other cards, things like returning creature back to the Library, things with Hellish flavor.

I'm also curious to see Black with cards like this that exile themselves when they died and maybe other cards with them, so it could seem like they went to Hell after being used. So the price would be they get exiled, and this cripples Black's ability to do reanimate strategy. And these sub-demons would help unleashing the exiled creatures.

There is much text for a single card.  Have you considered using some sort of "transform" mechanic?  Also why use -2/-2 counters?  The most prevalent counters are +1/+1 and -1/-1 and the only card to use -2/-2 counters in printed Magic is Ebon Praetor .

Creature -  Demon Human
Adameve Endo-Order enters the battlefield with two demonblood counters.
Remove a demonblood counter from Adameve Endo-Order: put a -1/-1 counter on target creature blocking Adameve Endo-Order.  If there are no demonblood counters on Adameve Endo-Order, exile it.

At the beginning of your upkeep, put two -1/-1 counters on another creature you control.  If that creature has 0 or less toughness, exile it.
1/5

Thanks for helping me with this, I will use -1/-1 counters, there really is no reason for me to use -2/-2. 

I'm a bit reluctant to use the transform mechanic though, because I like to play transform cards a certain way, I like to use the sleeves I use for my deck on the cards with transform mechanic. I just put a dice with the correct counters on the creature if it transformed so I won't have to pick the card out of its sleeve and flip it, I avoid doing the flip because I'm afraid to damage the card. 

It probably would become an issue when I'm playing with people in the local shop, so far I only play Magic with my close friends and my brother.

Can you maybe point out a few suggestion to make the card more balance? I noticed you edited "target blocking creature" to "target creature blocking Adameve Endo-Order"

Also do you think most people would allow me to not flip the card and just use dice to indicate its flip stats? I haven't played with anyone outside our little circle so I wouldn't know.  I won't be avoiding designing transform card if I know I'm not the only one playing it this way.

Creature - Adameve Human

This creature has all creature types in addition to being a Human creature

Pay 1 life: You may transfer power and toughness between other Human creatures you control in the form of 1/1 counters.

Whenever there're 3 or more Black Human creature under your control, Demon cost less to summon.

Demon doesn't have creature ability.
