Minister of Impediments didn't either. It's merely a balance aspect of the card. This issue came up because of one of the questions in GDS2, and it turned out that this is perfectly fine.
An upkeep trigger is a very good idea, actually. At which point, it could just make a token every turn, and this doesn't really need resource counters: Mobilization was fine, and though you had to pay for one soldier, you could get several per turn.
They do usually, and that's usually better design (it allows for "shields down" moments). But Ballynock Trapper was a 4-mana creature that tapped creatures without a cost, and so this seems potentially fine to me. (Although it'd probably be better to add a to the activation cost and make some other aspect slightly better to make up for it.)
The point is this can be free, though. Gather Courage could be "just a worse Giant Growth" except it can be free. This seems fine to me. Potentially free removal is worth being cautious with.
Ehh... Bargain feels too linear for it to be too abusive, even for a graveyard mechanic. I think you could get away with this being 3UU.
I know it's powerful at 3.
No, but Mana Tithe is fine I think.
is this too powerful at 2?
Are you keeping the taxing theme? Mana Tithe seems out of place otherwise :/
Heck, non-permanents can have supply :)
It has two black in the mana cost. Gotta push convoke a bit somewhere.
