­Cloven Casting + Power Tax

Seven mana, and for the rest of the game, you can fork all multicolour spells.

And counter a creature spell unless they can pay a bit more.

So a tax on multicoloured spells? Fork creatures? Tax forking? Fork taxes?

Ok, can't posisbly NOT use that terrible terrible pun. So there's my flavour text.

So I think what that flavour settles me on is taxing casting; and I'm kinda thinking something that punishes you more the more you cast. Like an anti-storm spell? That works (wording is probably suspicious).

And it's kinda minor now - flat "Opponents can only cast one spell a turn" exist, and this is a much less potent soft-counter. Could be white or blue. Let's try white; since blue gets better counterspells. Probably wants to be rare? Maybe only uncommon?

It's Damping Sphere but worse in at least three ways

Fair point. Powering up the tax to make it actually relevant.
