You can't just keeping paying G to get an energy and returning it, right? If you have 2 energy, you have to pay 2...

afaik you can never be forced to pay a cost, but the "if you can't" is new to me so I don't know if it works functionally different than "if you don't".

there is probably a similar red card that gets haste at least, even tho that's like almost useless since most permanents leaving the battlefield happens with combat

I think something that lets to pay G for 1 energy as many times as you want is probably too good.

my read is that you're required to pay if you can, because it says "pay 2 E" instead of "you may pay 2 E"

by the way, what is up with that elephant's tusk?

It should have added E when you cast, and removed E with an ETB ability so you could play fun tricks with the energy while it's on the stack and get your bounce.

If you have GG, you can still just play that on turn 2. I guess we get to see how good a turn 2 vanilla 3/4 is in standard.

No you can't. If you have no energy it would cost GGG. You can Attune into that on T2 though...

You can be forced to "pay a cost", such as things that make you sacrifice a creature during your upkeep. As far as I know there is no card that forces you to pay mana for anything, because it would be pointless, because you could just not activate mana abilities and then not have the mana so mana payments would always be optional anyway. Energy just sits around in your reserve so you can certainly have effects that force you to pay it.

The interaction I'm basing that guess off of is a creature that must attack an opponent who has an untapped Archangel of Tithes

All the must attack abilities say "attacks IF ABLE." Which means that if there is an extra cost associated with attacking the creature might not be able, such as if you don't pay the cost. In your example no creature would have to attack the opponent with the Archangel because you can just not pay the 1 mana.
