Legendary Creature (R)
You can't cast creature spells.
Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, draw a card.
My first question is: What colors should this card be? My first thought is monowhite. I know the card draw ability is normally green, but the first line puts that ability in a completely different context. It pushes the playstyle of the card a lot harder toward making tokens or flickering, which are a bit more white than green. Of course there are other ways to abuse the payoff, including reanimation and cheating creatures into play, which are both a bit more green than white, but generally relegated to higher rarities. It could also be multicolored, but given the number of ways this effect can be used, I'd want this card to be as splashable as possible. There's also something to be said about white not usually getting powerful card draw, but exceptions have been made in the past when it comes to build-around cards. I think this falls under that category.
My second question is: How much should this cost? Usually, drawing cards off creatures entering warrants a fairly high mana cost. The cheapest that I can think of is 4cmc. But again, not being able to cast creature spells puts a unique limitation on that effect. It does open it up to drawing cards off tokens, though, which hasn't happened before, I think, without some kind of condition or cost. Still, if you don't build specifically around this effect, the downside of not being able to cast creature spells is significant. This is the kind of card I'd want to be powerful enough to see play in formats like Pioneer or Modern, so I'm inclined to push the mana cost down as much as possible. Specifically, Steel Golem seems like a good starting point for the cmc and p/t.
Given those thoughts, here's what I'm thinking:

3/4
Anyway, what do you guys think? Is white the right color to go with? Is this too cheap? What about its other stats?
