Commander tax matters? Oh, you mean like Prossh, Skyraider of Kher and the like? No problem...

I've wanted to make a card of this character for a week or so now.

When Genny, Druid Initiate enters the battlefield, create X 1/1 green Badger creature tokens, where X is equal to the amount of mana spent to cast her.
Badger creatures you control have haste and rampage 1.

netn10, that card should be blue. It does things white shouldn't do a lot of, namely draw cards.

DFC licids eh? I've pretty much thought that was the solution to the licid memory issues since the concept of DFC's was introduced to MTG. Glad to see I am not the only one.

I actually do like the idea behind Zemoo's card. I just wish the thresholds scaled more evenly.

As far as netn10's card, I wish the last mode was something more often worth doing more than once.
