Indestructible doesnt help when the card isnt even on the battlefield anymore
Its definitely worth pointing out cards like The Ozolith, Vedalken Anatomist, Contagion Clasp, and Contagion Engine that can start putting -1/-1 counters on our opponents creatures as well
Not obscenely powerful or anything, just entirely suitable and as good as it gets for that kind of thing
This is where a lot of the value in the set resides, with cards like Enduring Innocence, Meathook Massacre II, Kaito, Bane of Nightmares, and all of the Verge lands (Gloomlake Verge, Floodfarm Verge, Blazemire Verge, Thornspire Verge, and Hushwood Verge)
Aggressive green decks love to play a three-mana creature on turn two and immediately pressure opponents
This card has an opponent lose life equal to the number of Elves you control when it comes into play
