Reluctant Dounguard
Creature — Kithkin Soldier
This creature enters with two -1/-1 counters on it.
Whenever another creature you control enters while this creature has a -1/-1 counter on it, remove a -1/-1 counter from this creature.
Keeping others out of the doun is the only thing that motivates some to step outside their walls.

If Reluctant Dounguard enters at the same time as one or more other creatures you control, its last ability will trigger for each of those creatures (unless it somehow entered without -1/-1 counters on it.)
