The Color Pie and "Disruption"

[Lemnear]

It's a Monk ... what do you expect ;P

Maybe one for the quote-thread...

I feel like Swan Song should have been a green card.

[rufus]

Indeed. Green needs a punisher-mechanic like:
...

Alternatively:
Krosan Ascetic

trample, shroud
Whenever you draw a card or search your library, remove a +1/+1 counter from Krosan Ascetic.
Whenever an opponent draws a card or searches his or her library put a +1/+1 counter on Krosan Ascetic.
1/2

Why the fuck would u want to give stack-based disruption to green when it is the permanent color.

Green already has stack-based disruption and has had it from the beginning of Magic. Lifeforce in Alpha, Avoid Fate and Rust in Legends, Brown Ouphe in Ice Age, Bind in Invasion, Insist in Torment, Ouphe Vandals in Fifth Dawn, Autumn's Veil in M11 and M12, etc.

The real question is why there is a new usable counter spell of some sort printed in almost every set and yet there is green disruption printed only once in a blue moon.
