An early stab at a mechanic for the eventual bug set. The Midon would be the white, ant-like race (the name from "myrmidon", which disappointingly the myr took the first part of).
Other options for this mechanic would be to look at a varying number of cards on the top of your library (hivemind 2, 3, etc), and/or to restrict the type of card to something that shares a creature type with the hivemind card. It could also be parasitic, and only put other cards with hivemind into your hand, which I kind of like now that I think of it. Again, early attempt and I went with the broadest version.
I like the idea of it needing a shared creature type.
I agree with Link. That also plays into the insular nature of a white hive mind and encourages tribal, which players enjoy. Getting any creature is 1. more powerful and 2. more green.
