Dork's Revenge
Custom Cards forum

I'm finishing up an EDH build for Seton, Krosan Protector and it got me thinking:
1GGG - Lifeforce Channeler - Centaur Druid - 3/3
Trample
Whenever an ability of a creature you control adds mana to your mana pool, target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each mana added this way.
Mana dorks that pump would be a fun design space, and I think the idea of a creature channeling a druid's internal mana producing magic into a growth spell is very flavorful. Magus of the Vineyard and Shizuko, Caller of Autumn would be static buffs, Karametra's Acolyte, Priest of Titania, and Elvish Archdruid would be massive threats, and weird old cards like Orochi Leafcaller would be super synergistic. I think it would be somewhat balanced by sticking it on a creature.
What say you? Too good?

I think a better way to format this ability is something along the lines of Omnath, Locus of Mana. I would try and template it this way, "At the beginning of your upkeep, choose target creature you control. Until the end of the turn, that creature gets +1/+1 for each mana in your mana pool." And add to it the Upwelling effect of mana not emptying between phases but only at the end of the turn.
