Ravenous Raven  Creature - Bird Flying At the beginning of each upkeep, sacrifice another creature. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. Otherwise, sacrifice ~. 0/1
As long as it's random, I really can't see where's the problem. Anyway, there's already a few standard ways for doing this. We listed them in this thread. If someone does the bogey-bogey, eats the cards, waits until they come out, look out the approximate order, place replacements in the same order, calls the president to ask him to give him a string of numbers, puts the card in the given order, then pick the cards in the order given by taking the date of birth of his opponent, reversed, and taking only every other number, then a judge can clearly declare that he's random enough.
The beauty of sarcasm is that when the person using it is totally incorrect, you can just remove the sarcasm and end up with a post that is actually correct.

I think this may be too down-sidey to play....
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in an thread with GM_Champion" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against AzureShade when card design is on the line!

All the drawbacks are there because I was slightly worried it might have been too powerful, but now that I think on it, each upkeep makes it pretty tough to keep up with the costs to ebgin with (can't really be played until turn 3). removing the for each clause.

I'm not sure it's actually more powerful now. original version didn't have to sacrifice for the first counter, so this breaks even when it gets its 4th counter.

Ravens tend to eat minds, not beasts.

Yes, this would be cooler if it ate cards from the hand.

Only if you're still mourning your dead girlfriend Lenore.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.
