Not sure where token-production costing falls. Assuming it's more common now many tokens are printed with sets. 3W two 2/2 feels about right (sometimes more useful than a 4/4, sometimes less), but not sure.

­Grizzly Fate is the only version Wizards have ever done of "make two 2/2s", and that had significant extra complications. This is probably okay, though I might be inclined to make it {2}{w}{w} rather than {3}{w}.

Agreed, changed. (I avoided fiddling too much with mana costs, as it seemed to invite temptation to use it as a justification to push power level, but I agree this is a very white card and 2WW is the right place. I'm actually curious how it would play, now token generation is -- just about -- printable.)

Other data points: Raise the Alarm makes two 1/1s for {1}{w} at instant speed - but Master's Call makes two 1/1s that are relevant to the set for {2}{w} sorcery, and Join the Ranks does it for {3}{w} instant. Ambassador Oak gives you a 3/3 and a 1/1 for {3}{g}.

Thanks. I think a fair cost is still settling down, but for now I'm happy to hope this is somewhere in the middle.

Yeah, and see my card Mount Expedition for further confusion!

Yeah, that comparison seems about right: white definitely gets more than 1/1 for W, but two 1/1 sounds like one of the very top-tier commons.

Aha! Now Moan of the Unhallowed sets a baseline. Moan of the Unhallowed has flashback, but is uncommon, so the vanilla version is probably fine for common.
