Since Bud is now a keyword, and "Bud, bud" was a possible way of writing it out, I wanted to see a basic version of it.

Feels like it should be "Bud 2" instead.

I mostly did it this way to get a reaction. I'm probably going to jump it back to Bud 2. The only problem with Bud 2, however, is it turns all our other cards into Bud 1... which is a bit annoying. Also, I kind of think "Bud bud bud" is fun to say, and it doesn't take up a lot of space. Hey! Anyone else have an opinion on this?

I agree "bud bud" is more fun and "bud 2" is probably more sensible. I'm not sure which is better, I'm happy with either for now.

Hmm, good point; Forked-Branch Garami looks that way because they didn't want to clutter up the other Soulshift cards.

I enjoyed playing with bud creatures. Slapping +1/+1 counters on things was simple but fun. I felt there were almost too many fungus and bud creatures, but that's fine at this point; we can always turn one into a vanilla later if we need to.

As mentioned on Heavy Plant I think green needs another creature that's larger than 4/4 (at least 3/5, and probably 5/4).

Could this become 3GG 3/3, or is there a better option for upgrading?

Hmm. Well, that would be a 5/5 for 5cc. It's probably fair, but better than common could normally expect to see. perhaps 3/2 or 2/3 for 5?

­Hollowhenge Beast says that's just fine even at common; but this would be better than a 5/5 for 5, which is a bit dubious for common. Not beyond the realms of possibility though.

I really wasn't sure how to reword Bud, bud. The previous version wasn't right, though, that's for sure. So, maybe this is the best way to do it? Gonna be weird if we ever end up with a creature with "Bud, bud, bud, bud."

It would probably say "Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature, then do it again."

I'm not sure what it used to say, but surely "Distribute 2 +1/+1 counters between any number of target creatures"?

Alternatively, I suggest on green common submissions, that bud could have a number. Something like "Bud 2" means "put 2 +1/+1 counters on target creature". Then this common could have bud 2, and an uncommon could have "bud, bud, bud" (giving you slightly more flexibility).

I'd go with either "Distribute 2 +1/+1 counters between any number of target creatures" as on Blessings of Nature, or "Distribute two +1/+1 counters among one or two target creatures" as on Elven Rite's Oracle wording.

I don't think adding a number is a good plan.

Edited and thank you for doing the work I should have done, Alex. :)

or maybe "copy this ability".
