Do the burn counters stack?

I sure hope not.
Pokemon or not, I do like this card idea and look forward to seeing it travel through the labyrinth known as the Card Ideas & Art.

You mean that playing a second Scald on the same creature is useless, or that the +2/-2 counter last one turn? (I think it's the former, but I got confused)
By triggered active ability you mean an ability that you must choose to use? (as opposed to bioluminescence, for example)

I like the idea. It's simple.

The second scald has no effect.
Yup, triggered active ability means you need to click to activate it.

Also, forest spirit + this would be ugly as well.

If you're worried about Purify, you could specify that it removes burn status? (at least it fits thematically)
True. But I was only citing it for comparison; it's clear that 5 quanta and 2 cards for +2/+0 per turn on one creature isn't that awesome compared to SoP.

Essentially +6 attack/turn, and can be used 7 times on the upped version
I can't help, however, but have hilariously impractical visions of something like massive dragon + mitosis + this (and then shard of readiness! :p) or, even more ridiculous, titan + animate weapon + antimatter + butterfly effect + antimattter + this. In practice, I think the best use would be with forest spectre, shard of patience, squid+SoP decks, and the aforementioned steam machine.

In the all-upped scenario, a single Scald indeed quickly (after 4 turns) overpowers Rage Elixer, as well as being cheaper by 1 quanta. However, Rage Elixer can be used repeatedly on the same Steam Machine, while extra Scalds will become dead cards.
However in the all-unupped scenario, Scald is clearly inferior to Rage Potion. You can only use "steam" twice before you kill the Steam Machine, meaning that the most you can get is +4/-4, which is less than Rage Potion's instant +5/-5, and there's no limit on the amount of times you can use the ability.

Just wanted to note again a comparison between Scald and Rage Potion in terms of Steam Machine.Actually, Steam Machines have 15 hp when upgraded :D

And? It's still slower and more prone to bad draws. ._.Just wanted to note again a comparison between Scald and Rage Potion in terms of Steam Machine.Actually, Steam Machines have 15 hp when upgraded :D

It can be quite powerful with Squids and Steamies against no CC, and I see it as a NICE card. It also makes a good use of Plate Armor with creatures with Ablaze (or growth, don't remember which one don't gives HP)
Thanks ^^
