I thought Demand was a decent ability for 1 CMC, but I wasn't sure just how much field use it would see. There are few instances where I would rather have a card protect a spell from being countered than just having a different card more pertinent to my deck's strategies in my hand instead. However, if I did need that protection, this Demand would excel at it.
What did you guys think of my Dryad? Useless? Overpowered? Too complicated?

Creature - Dryad
1: Place one color counter (white, blue, black, red, green, or colorless) on Chorellius, the Cantankerous Dryad that is the same color as the mana used to activate this ability. This creature gains +0/+1 for each color counter.
:symq:: Add mana to your mana pool that is equivalent to the quantity and colors of color counters on Chorellius, the Cantakerous Dryad.
I looked into it's "eyes" and saw relentless anger, the pass of eons, and the eternal elements.
Drake-Leviathan Halfbreed
Creature - Drake Leviathan U, :symtap:: Counter target spell unless its controller pays :1mana:. R, :symq:: Deal 1 damage to target creature or player.

Hey! Thanks for the responses. Ya, I admit I like the more complicated cards in magic, myself. I had the craving recently to build a deck based around custom token creation only to realize that there is literally no way to copy abilities. The best someone could do is either run Quicksilver Elemental or Necrotic Ooze, use Cackling Counterpart, followed by lots of populate.
My hope is that "Transplant" will be able to fill a (I feel) missing copy-ability niche. I'll use the rest of this month to try to hone it.
@doombringer: I'll try to condense the wording a bit to lessen the complexity.
@Rush_Clasic: Are you talking about Memory Jar or something else? I'm not sure what you mean by "memories going suicidal."
Menacing Frog :symgu::symb:
Creature - Frog
Transplant :symgu::symgu: x 2
When this creature deals combat damage to a player, put a token on the field that is a copy of this card.
When the Nayan gods needed reinforcements, the plebeian frogs formed ranks and marched.
2/3
A side note:
Transplant is a made up ability. It's text reads as follows:
Transplant (cost) x (number) - You may pay an additional (cost) up to (number) times as you cast this spell. If you do, this card copies one activated ability among permanents on the field for each time the cost was paid. It retains its other abilities, but Transplant is copied over.

I suppose having the untap ability usable only once per turn could solve that. I just wanted the card to be an interesting way to invest one's mana.
