My first thought is "use three times and donate it on turn 3"

My second thought it that it needs shroud to stop hex parasite

Sigh, my lack of knowledge of Mtg cards is causing problems once more, I didn't know that was a thing, I guess It would need shroud like you said. And I was so proud of this card too, damnit...

V2 - 0: add 3. You get an emblem with upkeep, pay 1 or lose.
This prevents a lot of problems and hard locks. For instance, if this becomes a creature, the game ends in a draw.

How is it a draw if this becomes a creature? I'm not seeing the interaction, though I might be overlooking something obvious (my brain is currently deep fried).

If the OP card becomes a creature, then I believe the last sentence of the card makes it dying (edit: specifically from damage or having 0 toughness) into an endless loop.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense.

Thank you for picking up where I stopped short. I should have been more specific.
