Commune: They don't want green to have lifelink by itself because green and white have too much in common. Also, this would probably need to use some sort of counter to act as a reminder, a la Xathrid Gorgon . The petrification is not tied to the counter, it just reminds you that it's a thing that happened.  

I fail to see why they think that. If two colours synergise and have a lot of stuff in common, then why not make the guild revolve around mechanics they share? Anyway how about this instead?

Commune: When this creature enters the battlefield you gain life equal to the ammount of creatures of control.

Law X: as long as this creature is on the battlefield, enemy opponents cannot play cards with converted mana cost of X

Dangerous effect. Would probably cost a lot, especially in the case of Law 2.

My thought would be that low power critters have stuff like law 5 and law 4 so that they make badass late game counters. And more expensive powerful creatures have stuff like law 2, but at the point where you can drop them, 2 mana cards are kind of irrelevant.

But overall Law creatures are expensive and fairly weak, so they're easilly counterable. But that it'd be crazy fun and mean to have a few on the board and totally shut down your opponent for a few turns.
