Preferred Pronoun Set:
Caller of the Unknown
Creature — Human Shaman (R)
Whenever Caller of the Unknown attacks, add to your mana pool. Then, you may cast a creature card from your hand as though it had flash. If you do, that creature enters the battlefield tapped and attacking.
1/1

My quest to create a printable card that allows me to swing for 8 on Turn 2 with my favorite card, Phyrexian Soulgorger, continues. This one swings for 9, AND leaves the creature around for you to sacrifice next turn!

Why not just "Then, you may cast a creature card [from your hand]. If you do, it enters the battlefield tapped and attacking."?
Is it necessary for the design that it can't be used to play creatures without generic or colorless mana cost?

I feel like Caller is overpowered... they did move mana elves from 1 mana to 2 mana, after all, and Caller is basically a mana elf. Somewhat more conditional, but with upside. Although, I could see it working if you instead sacrificed it to add the mana to your mana pool... or even if you just returned it to your hand as a sort of reverse ninjitsu.

Add to your mana pool. If that mana is spent on a creature spell, it gains haste.
Draw a card.
Garruk had to admit, the torches Chandra had turned him on to were really quite useful.

Alternatively…

Wow, this is f...ing nuts.

Elite Vanguard plus Fervor plus "creatures that entered the battlefield this turn can't be blocked" and all of that for 1 hybrid (!) mana.

Does it really prevent the creatures from being blocked, though? The haste is definitely intentional, but you can block stuff created by Militia's Pride and Yore-Tiller Nephilim, can't you? Why not this?

Word it as "When ~ attacks, you may cast any number of creatures from your hands. If you cast any creatures this way, they enter the battlefield tapped and attacking."

That way you avoid the mess of putting things tapped and attacking during the blocker step or anything.
