Income Tax
{3}{W}
Enchantment

If an opponent would draw a card, that player may pay {1}. If that player does not, that player skips that draw instead.

Two of the big themes of white that I've heard discussed time and time again are rules-making and taxation. Here's a strong example of what the taxation effect can do. On a side note, it occurs to me that one of the reasons why it may be so hard to make cards for white is that rules-making and taxation feel like rare effects to me, which leaves the weaker life-gain, damage prevention, comat tricks, etc. for the common and uncommon registers. We may try to find ways to create little rules and engage in small taxation to yield some uncommon and common level white effects.

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.

Current Wording:

Income Tax
{3}{W}
Enchantment

If an opponent would draw a card, that player may pay {1}. If that player does not, that player skips that draw instead.

I think this could be costed at WW and be fair, and then would likely be much more playable.

Actually, double white would make much harder to play.  I would rather see it as 2W than WW.

This card really does need to be 4 mana. It forces your opponent to spend one mana a turn just to draw his card, shuts down card drawing, and it's a hard lock with something as simple as Armageddon.
