However, this almost wants to pick up its own counters, because the bigger it is, the more likely it is to trigger again on future turns
It can play a role as a tempo-positive play for red aggro (especially if not splashing Showdown)
While I hate the idea that some really sweet, old cards will essentially be lost to the sands of time if this is a popular solution, this might be unavoidable in our current environment, at least in some cases
Cards need to be able to dynamically perform effects, subscribe to event callbacks, trigger those event callbacks, be modified by the static effects of other cards, and perform other tasks
You can still happily run Rofellos with only half your lands as forests and he is still a top rate ramp card but when you are mostly forests the card will outright win a lot of games for you
