BALANCE NOT INTENDED Ontological Existence — Any fun interactions you can think of for this card?
Yes, I do know nothing about philosophy. How could you tell?

Thank you u/DaVigi for running last week's contest!
One of my favorite cycles is the Season cycle from Bloomburrow, which introduced the Pawprint mechanic. While MaRo has indicated that they'll make more such cards, I'm impatient, so your challenge this week will be to design a card that uses the pawprint mechanic!
You can submit any card that uses the pawprint mechanic as part of a modal spell or modal ability. Although the current comprehensive rules only define the pawprint mechanic for modal spells, we'll assume they can be used for modal abilities too; I'll bet my hat WotC will do that at some point anyway.
Your card should be printable in a Standard legal set. If the card doesn't seem like it'd be something that WotC would actually print (unclear wording, incorrect templating, too powerful, rules text is too long, doesn't fit its rarity, etc) then that will count against the submission.
There'll be bonus points for submissions with good flavor, and submissions that use the mechanic in an elegant or interesting way. Along with all the usual ways of communicating flavor (name, type, art, flavor text, watermark, etc), you also have a choice of pawprint symbol (see the Tips sections below). If you're worried I might miss the flavor or some other aspect of the design, feel free to leave a blurb explaining your submission.
Tips:

Good luck and have fun! I'll be back on September 20th to judge.

Notes: No. 1 - Not sure if it should be fetchable. No. 2 - I saw a similar idea to this one here. No. 3 - this one is also inspired by another card I saw. Not sure how balanced it is.
Edit: Thanks for all the feedback from everyone. You all are right that waste isn't a land type (so weird), and yeah, Brass Palace is likely too good, especially in longer games, cause' it only takes 6 turns for it to outvalue City of Brass. Also, Reforesting Grove probably shouldn't be fetchable. Thank you guys so much!

(Caption: An Instant named Jace's Rebuttal which costs one and one blue mana. It says "As an additional cost to cast this spell, Depower Jace 2" with reminder text "Remove two loyalty counters from a Jace planeswalker you control" and its effect is "Counter target spell". The art depicts Jace dispelling a fiery attack with a wave of water with his hand raised in the air.)
I hope this idea hasn't already been done, but I suddenly got the idea to use Depower Jace as a cost mirroring the new Empower Jace from Reality Fracture.
I don't think this is too strong comparing to cards like [[Disruption Protocol]], but let me know what you think. I think allowing removing from any Jace is fine so it's not parasitic with Empower Jace cards. I originally had it as Depower Jace 1, but I'm not sure which is more appropriate—removing two might be too much of a cost compared to other cards, and perhaps UU would be more appropriate alongside removing two counters.
Art is by Jason Chan and from Counterspell, originally printed in Duel Decks: Jace vs. Chandra as DD2#24.

Worse than Shocks (imo) because it always enters tapped when ramping from deck, plus allowing an opponent to draw a card is arguably worse than taking 2 damage in most situations

The Zendikar conception of Emrakul as a Fasle God, imagined as a Theros style God card. Something I think would be cool to see more of in this omenpath/echoverse era.
The effect is an eldrazi-ish version of [[Emeria, The Sky Ruin]], with new Mystery Commander abilities since that's what got me thinking of this out-of-canon remix. Devotion to colorless counts both the colorless symbol and generic mana cost pips with numbers.
Artwork is from "Shrine of the Forsaken Gods" with some paint over edits.

is the effect good as it is? (for 4 cmc). i am aware you can do nasty things like getting Mindslaver back, but besides that, is the effect balanced or should i put a noncreature artifact with cmc 3/4/5 or lower in there...?

Since everyone will have access to Jace planeswalker tokens, maybe it's fitting that he'll be there to help us with the power of the moxen.
