Trying a different take. I was reminded quite how painfully difficult it is to stop Rolo from murdering your own side.
This means he can get suicidal if he's lonely, but, well, that fits pretty well flavour-wise too!
was 6 mana, haste, deathtouch, and tap to ping with "Players can't cast spells or activate abilities before this ability resolves."
I've tweaked the reminder text. Instant and sorcery Geasses can be exiled underneath their target, serving to mark that creature as protected until it dies (or gets hit by a Geass Canceller).
For Auras it's a bit trickier. The first thought is to try to say that when a creature becomes enchanted by an Aura Geass, it gains protection from other Geasses permanently: I'd make the reminder text something like "(Enchanted creature has protection from other Geasses. Exile this card if it would leave the battlefield.)" But that's fiddly, weird with regard to timing, and prevents bounce spells bouncing the Geass.
An alternative approach is to say that Aura Geasses quite simply only prevent other Geasses while they're attached to the target. This is perhaps odd, but what ways would the Aura leave without the target leaving? Normally it'll be because the Aura is being hit by a Disenchant effect. And, well, if you Disenchant a Geass, that seems close enough to using a Geass Canceller on it that I would expect another Geass to be able to hit the target. So that lets me have the very short and simple reminder text "(Enchanted creature has protection from other Geasses.)" It is a little bit odd that "ongoing" Geasses have an alternate way around them where "oneoff" Geasses don't, but I think that's just a consequence of the way things are reflected in Magic terms. It'd be much stranger to have to write Geass to Betray or Geass to Withstand as Auras with flash, an ETB trigger, and no ongoing effect except the Geass prevention.
