ISTM that this could be pure-green instead of needing any red?
Arguably yes, but by going 2-color it helps reign in the access to and and rate of potential ramp. It also makes the +2/+2 more justified; we don’t seem to see “+2/+2 and ability for 2” (i.e. Goblin War Paint effects) in green as much as we do in red these days.
...and then it was 1 color.
The two abilities (pt buff and tapping for mana) are at odds with each other :/ I would try to come up with some way to tie the two abilities together (untapping lands on attack or whatever). I also find the mana ability too weak compared to the buff.
Ooh, I like that untap clause. Is it too good on turn 2 though? Trying it at 3 CMC.
