Artifact Creature - Construct 1/1, 6 (6) Triskelion comes into play with three +1/+1 counters on it. Remove a +1/+1 counter from Triskelion: Triskelion deals 1 damage to target creature or player.1 A brainchild of Tawnos, the Triskelion later proved both versatile and useful.
Illus. Douglas Shuler
Counters are removed one at a time, so as soon as you remove one that causes its toughness to drop to the amount of damage it has, it is destroyed. [D'Angelo 1996/11/08]
Counters can be used on the turn it enters play because it does not require tapping. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) banned this card from 1999/10/01 until 2003/10/19.
Note - This card had no creature type until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Construct".
