Rationale
Brigid is a two-faced legendary that alternates between a token producer (front: ETB/transform creates a 1/1 Kithkin) and a mana engine (back: tap for X mana in G or W equal to your creature count). The transform engine rewards a wide board — the back face converts creature density into significant mana, while the front refuels the board incrementally. A solid value card in tokens-go-wide and legendary-matters shells, but requires board development to become impactful and the sorcery-speed back-to-front transform is telegraphed.
Learnings (3)
The back face (Brigid, Doun's Mind) taps for X mana of a SINGLE chosen color (all G or all W), not a mix — plan color needs accordingly when flipping for a big spell.

Because both transform triggers fire at the beginning of your FIRST main phase, Brigid naturally flips back to front each turn if you pay the cost, generating a token every rotation — the loop is slow but consistent over multiple turns.

The back face's mana ability scales only with OTHER creatures you control, so Brigid herself does not count — a board wipe that leaves only Brigid produces zero mana.
