Ambitious Backstabber

First strike, promote (Whenever another creature
you control leaves the battlefield, if that creature had greater base power than this creature's power, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
{0}: Destroy another target creature you control. You may activate this ability only once per turn.
