I was wrong, Vitenka, and Windbrisk Heights shows that. Sorry! The wording is now close to one you proposed.
If this said "are attacking," I could see how what you're saying would be an issue... Maybe I'm being thick, but I'm just not getting it.
Vitenka, how does that work? This is a triggered ability. If nothing is attacking, it's not being triggered. Right?
Forgot shuffle clause. Oops.
Old wording, instantly searching everything out: My priority. No creatures of mine attacking? Trigger this. Repeat as needed.
New wording: I think beginning of declare attackers is too soon - at that point you won't be able to make X on zero yet. But "When you declare an attack" would probably be fine. Maybe "after"?
"At the beginning of your declare attackers step, you may search your library for a creature card with CMC X or less, where X is the number of attacking creature you control." How's that? You still get a free 0-drop if you wish each turn.
But YOU don't attack, so that won't work. Also, why do you think you can search for all of your 0-cost creatures when this comes out?
Heh, yes - I'll just search out all my thopters as soon as this hits the table :)
Whenever you attack, you may search your deck for a creature with a casting cost equal or less than the number of attacking creatures etc. perhaps? That way at least I only get one a turn.
I'm so used to typing "X or less" that I didn't even realize I had typed it. That seems like it shouldn't work anyway, because 0 creatures can't attack.
Can I search out a bunch of Memnites and Dryad Arbors at any old time and have them attacking even if it isn't the combat phase?
Oh, good point. Thanks.
I don't think you need to say both "X or more" and "X or less."
Alright, I changed according to the suggestions. I wanted the top ability to not be a loyalty ability, but if it's unavoidable for balance issues, that's fine.
Yes, I think it'd be much more balanced if the top ability were [0]: Tap X untapped creatures you control and put X loyalty conters on ~.
Well, if you wanted to control the top ability, you could give it a cost of
... you know... planeswalker style. That would limit the ability to once per turn, and not allow you to use the other abilities at the same time. If you did that, however, you'd probably want to increase the loyalty reward for tapping two creatures, though...
Otherwise, yeah, something Green/White sounds fine. If Alex convinces you to make this card cost 6, then may I suggest removing "Nonland" from the ultimate? At that point, you might as well tutor a land every turn, if that's what you really want.
Alternatively, if you changed it to creature or land, you'd get away with Mono-Green. I'd say something about green should be able to get enchantments, but I'd probably be BSing, since I can't think of many times when Green could search for them. If you somehow got the card to pull a "As long as you control less X", then you could get away with Mono-White. But that seems like too many words to me.
Nonland permanents only.
The top ability could tap multiple creatures, if that would balance it more.
Hm. So it's a Selesnya Evangel that can occasionally cast Wargate in some hideous Chord of Calling-style manner. I note that Wargate was originally going to cost just
, so I think those colours are right. To get to cast Chord of Calling every turn sounds like it should be crazily expensive though. By which I mean 5 or 6 mana. So that sounds like 
, loyalty 2, or 
, loyalty 3. But I think basically the top ability is a bit too good.
Color, CMC, and starting loyalty?
