This card was 4 stars, now its 5. The only reason is 2011 release of Steel overseer. You can keep adding +1/+1 counters to it. 4x steel overseer, 4x triskelion, 4x lodestone golem, 4x juggernaut, 4x voltaic key ....need i say more?

triskelion + Blade of the bloodchief + basilisk collar = machine gun down

Run Triskelion with Urza's lands, Tooth and Nail and a Mephidross Vampire and start killing people! Triskelion is also decent with cards such as Energy Chamber and Archbound/Modular creatures and Death Pits of Rath or the like.

a great card. but to the last guy it is an activated ability because you have to do something to activate the ability instead of it being "on" all the time. in this case you remove one of his +1/+1 counters to deal 1 damage to anything.

a very underrated card, at least in the 1.5 environment. i've played with it for years now in my 1.5 brown deck and have never taken it out..or even been tempted too. its just that good. since i only play 1.5, i don't know exactly how reliable the mana curve is in extended or type II for this admittably pricey dude. and did i mention that removing his counters is not an activated ability(whatever, 'null rod' and 'stifle')?! give this old hand a tryout, i almost guarantee you won't be dissapointed. good luck.................

with a modular deck this card gets PUMPED. especially with the arcbound overseers, when a creature with modular dies all the counters can be put on a artufact creature and you can just take them off triskillion and do direct damage easy

I hate this card, but only because it is so good. You can combo it with scythe of the wretched, and some other cards and have an instant win with any amount of damage possible to the other player
