Rotweed Lurker   Creature--Elemental Plant  First strike, skulk, infect (This creature can’t be blocked by creatures with greater power. This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)2/3

I did consider using a mere colorshifted Dryad Arbor, but I wanted the design to be a bit more interesting. But I instantly knew I wanted to do a  -flower

"Choose target artifact card in your graveyard that was put there from the battlefield this turn. Return it to the battlefield. It's a 1/1 creature in addition to its other types. Then put a +1/+1 counter on it for each artifact creature you control."

Prickly Cactus  Creature - Plant  Defender, first strike 1/4 Ouch!This is a recycle, but it fits perfectly into the challenge. If recycling a design isn't allowed for card of the week that's ok, I can always come up with something later. |

Daij_Djan Let me have a question. 6. No pornography, obscenity, or overt NSFW content. Fantasy violence, swearing, and somewhat suggestive clothing are fine, but nudity (even artistic nudity), explicit sexual content, and graphic gore are all out. If you’d get fired for having it on your screen at work, don’t post it here.Is it a right understanding that I can post a nudity that will never cause me to be fired? A picture I am considering to use on this challenge is a nudity but it is like a kid's doodle and I am hard to think it makes you to feel something sexual.

And now for something I'm much happier with. 
| Seed of Rot
A generic and a Black
Creature — Plant Zombie
Defender
Seed of Rot cannot be sacrificed.
When Seed of Rot dies, create a 4/4 black Zombie Treefolk with deathtouch and trample.
0/3

{previous card: Aki, of the Autumn Breeze}I started a card, and I'm 250% unhappy with it but it's post it or nothing at the moment until I figure out a better card.
| Aki, Of The Autumn Breeze
A generic, A red, and a white
Legendary creature — Plant Fox God
Partners with legendary monocolored plants
Plants you control have lifelink.
Two generic, a red, and a white, tap, and sacrifice another plant:
Create two token copies of the sacrificed permanent except they have a
morph cost equal to their mana cost. They enter the battlefield facedown
as 0/1 Seed creatures with defender.
FT: Rest now, Spring will come, but for now it is Autumn and you must rest.
3/3

If no one sees the main problem with the design, whell... there aren't any legendary plants in the canon, let alone monocolored ones. Every legendary plant gets turned into a legendary land or typed as an elemental or treefolk or some shit. Which makes this pretty obvious commander bait legendary have a pretty glaring flaw: there are no plants you can put in the deck, which is of course, a problem for a plant tribal commander. Of course the solution is to throw green in the text box, and it'll still meet the prompt but I'm not happy with that approach either. So, posting this until I can think of a better solution or a different card.Thank you to Daij_Djan who pointed out Orvar, the All-Form which is a monocolored legendary plant by way of changling. You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, but you don't get any points because you didn't procede your answer with "Um actually." vizionarius of the two you pointed out, one is two color and the other is colorless, so while you were more correct than me, you are not the most correct, and therefore also do not get a point. |

... there aren't any legendary plants in the canon, let alone monocolored ones. Make one and hide it in a spoiler block with your post!  Or you can even make a __, of the Spring Breeze and partner it with that specific card. |

Orvar, the All-Form? Yeah, I admit I'm definitely reaching here - especially since I'm pretty sure it's not blue you would like to get access to..
@ twintania : I don't think there's a way I can answer your question like that, sry. Just sent me a PM with the render |

Home-Grown Copy
Creature - Plant ShapeshifterSuspend 3 -  When you suspend Home-Grown Copy, choose a creature an opponent controls. Home-Grown Copy enters the battlefield as a copy of the chosen creature. 0/0
This might be pushing it a little, but blue is the best colour at permanent copies, so I'm permitting myself to post this. |

How about a new ability to partner with a non legendary creature? Conjure plant ( You may have a plant creature as your additional commander without regardless of legendary or not. ) |

Conjure plant ( You may have a plant creature as your additional commander without regardless of legendary or not. ) You could also do something similar to Byode, Inverse Sun and add "Your deck can include Plant cards of any color identity." |

Congratulations for the most perfect solution to the problem that doesn't violate the spirit of the challenge. Personally I'd have it include forests in the clause because the rules commitee is wrong about basic land types being the color identity of the colors they can produce
Basic lands have no rules text. (Tap: add color of mana) is all reminder text baby.
If I can put crypt ghast in a mono-black deck, I should be allowed to put godless shrine or any other fuckin' plains in it too (I wouldn't, but you've got to understand it's the principle of the thing). |

Now that it's been brought up, I figured I'd take a proper crack at my own suggestion: Nifa, the Blazing Allflower  Legendary Creature - Plant Partner with Plants (When this creature enters the battlefield, target player may reveal a Plant card from their library, put it into their hand, then shuffle.)Whenever another Plant enters the battlefield under your team's control, add . Your deck can include Plant and Dryad cards of any color identity. 2/4 "Greens, blues, and purples, I shall witness every leaf of Qar'jool by the season's end."Note: Partner getting a slight errata to force reveals when a non-specific card is mentioned is intended. I decided to include Dryads as one of the possible types since some like Tendershoot Dryad and Blossom Dryad are shown growing flowers and to subtly nudge the player in the direction of including things like Dryad Arbor. |

I see you took the solution you proposed to the problem I presented and ran wit it. Either that or you already had this idea and gave me the idea for free. This now presents the opprotunity of a weird six-cycle of non-green two color plant commanders.

 I wanted to use an art from Voynich Manuscript but it violated the no nudity rule so I drew a similar thing. |
