So "Fungus", and I'll try to give this sets initial theme a go. Which was something like "Power you can't quite constrain right".
A fungus the is slightly out of control? That feels like a very reasonable thing.
So an obvious thing is exponential growth, costing you some resource. Life is obvious, but I think I'd rather play to theme a bit more and have it eat stuff. I tried non-fungus creatures but that's just too easy to avoid any downside. But your graveyard gives you a nice bit of a buffer to get it going.
And if we're eating that - then eating your hand too seems like a way to make this into a kind-of-epic. And also gives some nice ways around it if you decide to stop - madness, things you can cast from graveyard, etc.
Still, dropping this as soon as you can is a somewhat bold move.
Huh. Thallid Pit Fighter suggests a challenge to have a go at.
