Spike
Native to Rath. Spikes are Leech-like creatures, parasites who drain nutrients from plants or other animals. They are capable of then transferring the collected nutrients to other creatures. In the game, Spikes come into play as creatures with zero power and toughness, which normally destroys that creature, but also with a certain quantity of size-boosting counters. These can be transferred to other creatures, or spent to activate abilities on some variants.
(Spike Drone, Spike Worker. Spike Tiller, Spike Breeder)

Famous quotes containing the word spike:
“Directors like Satyajit Ray, Rossellini, Bresson, Buñuel, Forman, Scorsese, and Spike Lee have used non-professional actors precisely in order that the people we see on the screen may be scarcely more explained than reality itself. Professionals, except fo the greatest, usually play not just the necessary role, but an explanation of the role.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
