Oracle Text:
Whenever an opponent pays a tax from a spell or permanent you control, create a number of Treasure tokens equal to the amount of mana they paid. (This happens each time a spell you control or an ability of a permanent you control causes an opponent to pay extra mana. Cards that can tax opponents include Mana Tithe, Esper Sentinel, and Ghostly Prison.)

Character Background
Tax Taker is a one‑mana value engine best suited to a tax/control or value‑attrition archetype: drop it early and every Ghostly Prison, Mana Tithe, or Esper Sentinel you assemble turns opponents’ payments into straight mana by making Treasure tokens. It’s not an aggro threat on its own, but it punishes opponents who try to push through spells or attacks and converts that friction into resources you can spend on answers or finishers. Deckbuilding tip: pack multiple taxing permanents so Tax Taker has repeated triggers, and consider at least one Treasure payoff—Goldspan Dragon if you can splash red to amplify Treasure mana, or Revel in Riches as an alternate win‑con—plus a couple Treasure‑sac outlets or cheap interactive spells to spend the tokens. Be mindful of removal (1/2 is fragile), so either protect it or accept it as heady incremental value in a white control shell that grinds opponents down.
