If increasing Discovery works, this could be a not too strong Token Maker. You can possibly get more for your money, but in a Sealed or even in Draft most likely just what you paid for.

I like it. It's a nice use of discovery and also continues the insect token theme. Could work for the remaining green 3 CMC common slot.

Edited rarity

If there is a concern that Discovery as psuedo-landfall isn't appropriate for common, this card may need to be moved into an uncommon slot. This is the only remaining one at common that does this, the rest are uncommons and rares.

Changed to uncommon to make room.

It fits an Uncommon, but now it looks weird that 2 cards almost do the same. Not sure there is room for both in the set, even in different rarities.

Fits token maker creature slot.

Added to skeleton.

Other cards I feel should be in this slot;Card74008 and Card73682. Both feel like build around uncommons while this just makes a token sometimes. I'd want the token creature to be a bit more consistent.

Out of those two I'd prefer Card74008 because it does the whole unbound synergy thing with tokens, though I can see concerns that it can get OP?

I marked the two contending cards for this card's slot in the skeleton.

As I said, we already have this card at Common pretty much, so there should be another one in this slot-

With that said, neither Card74008 nor Card73682 feel like an Uncommon to me though. I don't know, but repeatable Token creation needs adequate costs, and neither simple tapping nor having cards in your graveyard seems to be that high of a cost to me compared to increasing your Discovery.
