netn10: This effectively disables the discard step of the end phase, giving each player no maximum hand size. It was probably not an intended effect, but I like it. It is also very effective in stopping discard and mill strategies.

starjake: This card can be extremely oppressive in the right deck, or against the right deck. I don't really know what to feel about the card, but it is a very elegant and simple design, which I like.

void_nothing: I am not sure that ability is red, but I like the card.
New mechanic for Selesnya, eh? New new? Or can existing mechanics be used? Damn this is tough. Needs to be creature focused, and reward you for going wide, or help you to go wide. Should preferably play nice with both convoke and populate as well.
Oh, I know!

Introducing Cultivate. Cultivate is an ability word that, much like landfall, triggers when a certain type of permanent hits the battlefield under your control, in this case nontoken creatures. It should usually produce a token in response, but not necessarily. It is generally only found on permanents.

Cultivate reads: Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, (effect)

The effect can be pretty much anything short of putting a nontoken creature onto the battlefield, as long as it is in color.

Dryad Cultivator 1{G/W}
Creature - Dryad (Rare)
Cultivate - Whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield under your control, create a 0/1 green Plant creature token and gain 1 life.
2/1

IIW: New Original Planeswalkers.

"Time for you to commune with the dirt."
3/3

Charge of Vitu-Ghazi 3GGW
Sorcery (Rare)
Diversity - Creatures you control get +X/+X and gain trample until end of turn, where X is the number of different creature types among creature tokens you control.
