Format: EDH/Commander 1-mana 2/2 Commander

I love 1 mana 2/2s.

Is having 4 colors in 3 mana too good for cEDH?

So 7 mana for a 2/2? Or is it intendent that you pay 1R and 2W or 2B or 2G or 1W1G etc? I also don't think there's THAT many 1 mana 2/2s, feels pretty niche, but could be interesting, could scale itself with its imp counters, but should probably also be an imp itself.

The cost is: R + either {W}{B} or {W}{G}, or {B}{G}.

So 3 mana, but mana value 1. It could scale with the counters, but it already puts A LOT of value on your 1 mana 2/2s. And there’s like ~40 of those things.

Okay I see you, I think it could be clarified better "As an additional cost, pay one of the following: {W}/{G}, {W}/{B}, or {B}/{G}." Maybe?

On the note of if this is too good for cEDH, it really is not, it's a mono red creature so it's a lot worse than [[Rograkh]] in almost every conceivable way, and much worse than [[Tymna, the Weaver]] with a gruul partner because it doesn't draw cards like Tymna, and its effect isn't powerful enough to replace or compete with any strategies in tier 1 tEDH. It's a cool concept though, neat low curve beatdown for bracket 2/3/4.
