- Put X +1/+1 counters on ~, where X is the combat damage recieved by ~ from this creature this turn (it must survive the damage to recieve the counters)

IIW: unexpected tribal (not the card type)

@Mimicvat

a few ideas

Show

Hide

The card could probably use some simplification (like only working on attack, or no starting counters, or shorter effects) because it's a bit overwhelming to read
Also, power and toughness

Anyway, my try at rewording it with a few functional changes:

~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it
~ can only be blocked by exactly three creatures, and may block up to three creatures.
When ~ blocks or becomes blocked, prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to or dealt by it this turn and choose a different one for each creature blocking or blocked by it –
- It fights that creature as tough ~ had lifelink;
- It fights that creature as tough ~ had deathtouch;
- It fights that creature, then put a number of +1/+1 counters equal to that creature's power on ~.
