This more pillagy version of Ramirez combines everything that Pirates like to do: it makes Treasures, rewards you for hitting your opponent, and steals cards from other players
The reason is that Izzet Prowess can end the game in 4-5 turns, so the benefit of adding counters isn't fully utilized, and if the game continues beyond that, this card would likely have been removed already
This will certainly grow, but starting out as a 2/1 is brutal, and you need two counters to feel like you're getting there
The once-modest trading card game has become a multimillion-dollar sensation
