Nessian Demolok is an interesting green uncommon. It costs 3GG (3 colorless, 2 Green) and has Tribute 3. It’s a 3/3 already, and if its tribute cost isn’t paid, you destroy target non-creature permanent. Essentially, it’s an Acidic Slime that can also hit planeswalkers. If its tribute cost is paid, you get a 6/6 for 5 mana, which is OK.
This is definitely a good Limited card, as it can serve as either removal or a big beater. In Commander, it may see some play in decks that abuse +1/+1 counters, which will make the decision whether or not to make the Tribute more difficult (especially since you get to choose the opponent who will make that decision). It might not be quite good enough for Constructed play, but in Mono-Green its at least a fringe possibility for some play in the future.
