Tidal Influence
Ah; the big daddy of the tidal mechanic.
Now, first of all - we drop the "Blue creatures" into being "Creatures you control"
Then... well, I was going to use proliferate for the counter moving. But I don't think I want that on this card, it's just too strong a combination to have all the pieces on one card.
But I really am unsure how to do this effect in a succinct way. For now I'll reuse the text I used on Homarid.
It's clever, but the "proliferate each turn" ability alone would make this cost more than 3 mana. The rest of the card is just upside
(A creature gets -1/-1 while it has an odd number of tide counters on it, and +1/+1 while it has an even number of tide counters greater than 0 on it.)
Then give the homarids ways of putting tide counters on your opponents’ things. Maybe call them something a little more colour-neutral, like Ebb counters or something, and you can use that as the sole creature counter of the set.
Thallids could still use them rather than spore counters as a cost for things, and you can have proliferate in GU.
Tidal Influence could then just become “At the beginning of your end step, proliferate.” With maybe an etb trigger putting an ebb counter on something.
Just spitballing
