wat, Tagion? Ragings are the WEAKEST Ancient World deck in the format, because they can't efficiently use Arc-en-ciel without effectively becoming a worse Dragon Lords. Anti-Control is huge for Size 3 decks, and Ragings lack of it makes them distinctly inferior to Dragon Lords and Wild Dragons.

Also, Wrath Trigger is a better card overall. If every Raging had Counterattack naturally like Billion Knuckle does, sure, if this didn't cost gauge, sure, but costing the same gauge (which is the more limited resource) as Wrath Trigger while not granting the Counterattack (which lasts for the whole turn, mind you) makes it strictly inferior to Wrath Trigger. Its only worthwhile if you can find space for it alongside Wrath Trigger.

And to Providence: How is this unfair? Look at Dark Energy. Dodges Penetrate, gives Counterattack for the turn, protects any monster, all for the same 1 gauge cost. Look at Afterimage, completely free, doing everything this card does. Look at Dragon Barrier or Demon Slay Barrier, cards that do what this card does for free at the cost of some limitations that aren't relevant to the card's purpose. There is nothing unfair about this card.
