What it does
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.)

Where it came from
Tax Taker was released in 2024 as part of the Mystery Booster 2 set, a specialized compilation designed by Wizards of the Coast to celebrate the history of Magic: The Gathering. The set is notable for including 'playtest' cards—experimental designs that reflect the internal development process and often feature unconventional mechanics or humorous callbacks to the game's long-standing design tropes. These cards were produced as a way to share the 'behind-the-scenes' experimentation that occurs in the studio.
The design of Tax Taker leans into the satirical and meta-commentary nature common to these playtest inclusions, poking fun at the game's classic 'stax' or resource-denial archetypes. By adopting a rough, unfinished visual aesthetic typical of internal R&D prototypes, the card aims to evoke the feeling of a developer's workspace. It was received by the community as a whimsical nod to the game's complexity, serving as both a functional gaming piece and a piece of corporate ephemera for dedicated collectors.
