Insatiable Predator
{1}{G}
Creature -- Beast
2/1

Whenever an opponent plays a creature spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Insatiable Predator.

I'm still just trying my hand at some green cards. Maybe one of these days I'll work myself up to an enchantment or a sorcery. Anyhow, this is just a little beastie with [card]Predatory Hunger[/card] built in. I made it cheap so that it could actually hope to reap the benefits of its ability, although I'm a little bit concerned that it would be too powerful in limited. If I need to increase the mana cost to {2}{G}, I'll do so (and make it a 2/2 creature.) Obviously, other suggestions are always welcome.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Strong in Limited, insane in multiplayer. I'd go for the 1GG version and even that is strong (Green growers usually cost 4 or start out at puny 1/1s for 3 mana).

I guess you could make it a 1/1 for 1G or GG but is is still very strong, possibly too strong (depending on what other cards are in the mix)

The difference between this and something like [card]Titania's Chosen[/card] or [card]Elvish Vanguard[/card] is that this doesn't trigger off spells that you play. Titania's Chosen, in particular, was strong, because one could easily expect to put it in a green deck. Elvish Vanguard was weaker, because it only triggered off elves, but again, you could expect it to be played in an elf deck. This card doesn't benefit from the other cards in your deck. On the other hand, the type of spells on which it triggers is quite a bit lighter. If Elvish Vanguard popped up in a draft, he could be hard to play, since you definitely couldn't count on an opponent to play elves and you might not have many, yourself. This, on the other hand, is almost guaranteed to grow, whether you can help it along or not. I suppose that definitely does merit being more costly than Elvish Vanguard. I'd be willing to knock it down to a 1/1 and make it cost {2}{G}. That would put it on par with Titania's Chosen, which is where I think it belongs.

These cards invariably say: you may put...

I changed the wording to "you may." I'm just bumping this back above the recently-added cards.
