The suggested name is only too human if no non human studies tactic/war.

However about the OP|UP thing we should each give our reasons why and then you can decide based upon the reasons.
To start with I will assume that elements has a standard that 1 damage per turn is worth 1 quanta. (This is fairly accurate and can be observed in my Card Design thread in Design theory)
This card (upgraded) adds 1 damage per turn per creature on the field. So the increase in value is equal to the average number of creatures on the field.
Upgraded cards tend to have a -1 to -2 cost reduction.
So the upgraded should cost [Average number of creatures on the field -1.5] more than the unupped
