Veigar, Tiny Master of Evil

Veigar comes into play with 1 Evil counter
Dark Matter—{u}{b}: Veigar deals 3 damage
to target creature or player. If that creature dies,
put 1 Evil counter on Veigar.
Primordial Burst—{u}{b}{u/b}{t}: Veigar deals 3X
to target creature or player, where X is the
number of Evil counters on Veigar.
It's only a short way? Is that a short joke?!
