I find it amazing that they still haven't figured out a way to reprint a Thunder Spirit that is functionally different based on +1/+1 or -1/-1 counters. E.g.:

Not-Thunder Spirit
Creature - Other creature type than Spirit
Not-Thunder Spirit enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters on it.
Flying, first strike
0/0
