haven't read through the spoiler so i don't know if this is the first time you've spun spawn in this way (did you mean to call them eldrazi drones? making them spawn probably preferable for consistency) but this seems like a really good natural progression for the mechanic. i like that the spawn strategy is now more nuanced than "play spawn generators", means you can build archetypes around it
but ultimately if you're using the spawn for pretty similar reasons then it's not going to feel completely different, i think nailing that would really set you apart. not sure what you could do that isn't "ramp into eldrazi" though
also just in general this is a cool card because the abilities mesh together so nicely
4 mana is way too low a price point for this. The choice on their behalf is essentially mandatory, because unless they give up a permanent (which had better be a noncreature or else it simply triggers again), you get to keep repeating for as much mana as you want until they do.
So now all creatures on both sides are essentially Vindicates for you, until you get to the point where you have the mana to unleash your wildest dreams.
oh yeah good point, I thought it said whenever a nontoken creature dies for some reason
Oops, meant spawn and nontoken.
