I'll test it. A worse Hexdrinker deserves a test in my book, and I think this card seems like it could be a decent roleplayer in both green aggro and green ramp decks alike.
I'd be cautious with that comparison. 2/1s for 1 and 2/2s for 2 have always been a very different class. Nevertheless, I do think this card is sweet. Green decks end up with extra mana on their creatures pretty often, and turning that into +1/+1 counters ain't shabby even without trample. Generally you weren't going to use that mana anyway, so you aren't behind when they remove the creature (as they're gonna have to when it gets big enough).
Uh, yeah, this thing is nuts. I really don't like all these pushed stat monsters we're getting this set. I know creatures are creeped, but you don't have to keep hitting me over the head with it.
