The name for the topic should follow the format: "Unupped Name | Upped Name"

It looks like there are spaces in the links you listed. If the spaces are also in the links for the post, that would explain the problem. There should be no spaces in hyperlinks.

The idea is certainly interesting. Given the number of pillars a typical deck runs with, plus likely a sword and shield, this creature will start mid to large and will get quite big by the end... probably bigger than the dragons.

-> Assume a deck is about 1/3 pillars. Most get about 3-4 pillars at start. Average games last about 8-12 rounds, giving 15-19 cards... yielding 5-8 pillars on both sides.
This creature will start as 6|6 to 8|8 in an average game.
It will grow to be a 10|10 to 16|16 by the end of an average game.

...Do the Att / Hp scale as more permanents are played or is it only counted when first created? (should put that in notes)
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

It doesn't grow at all. It's in the card text:

Ah, thanks, I missed that... So basically we have a card whose cost to play increases as the game goes on, but toughness scales accordingly for the unupped. That seems pretty well balanced.
The upped version continues to grow after it is played... That may or may not be OP.

Does the upped drain quanta when more permanents come in play?
IF not, might be an idea to make it less OP (if found)
If you're weak, then run, but toward your enemy
