What Sheoldred, the Apocalypse should've been: Vorinclex, Apex   Legendary Creature--Phyrexian Praetor  Vigilance, trample, haste, ward—Each player draws two cards. If a player would draw a card except the first one they draw in each of their draw steps, you create a 2/2 green Phyrexian Beast creature token with “When this permanent leaves the battlefield, create a 3/3 green Phyrexian Beast creature token” instead. 4/5 |

I go with a very controversial interpretation.
Ability 2 can be considered a "flood gate" because it basically forces one into doing something that one may not be willing to do otherwise, therefore limiting decision making. Ability 3 "taxes" you for not making use of everything at your disposal. |

MaRo's already admitted that Smothering Tithe was a mistake, why you gotta compound mistake onto mistake? Besides, card draw taxing should be . 's the color that says "You have everything you need already within you", and is an enemy of , which is the one color that draws the most cards. |

@ sdfkjgh: Except green is, especially in Commander, easily second in card draw right after blue  In my opinion the big issue with Smothering Tithe is that it punishes "normal" card draws, and not just extra ones - which is why I restricted my card as such. Also since my design requires two pieces to do something and only taxes by , it's much more turned down as well. Basically, I consider my card a "fixed" Tithe. |

Planeswalker hate, Battle support, and screw whatever other types are going to get invented. A large part of me wants this to smash everything: non-creature artifacts, lands. the damage won't mean anything unless it gets animated that turn. |

Ability 3 "taxes" you for not making use of everything at your disposal. Interesting that it functions very well as an anti-pillow fort (enchantments) and an anti-superfriends (planeswalkers) card, since those (generally) can't tap on their own. |

I don't know if the rules allow for that, but it would be an extra middle finger to, for example, Nissa, Who Shakes the World, amongst other Nissas |

Appeal to Tragedy Enchantment Creatures can't attack if their controller has cast a spell this turn. Players can't cast a spell this turn if a creature they controlled has attacked this turn.
