MonoGreen, Selesnya Auras, Simic Permission, Golgari Bad Touch and possibly Gruul could take advantage of new gems given from the gods. Out of those 8 cards, can you see the Magnificient Seven?
So, hmmmm, here are the green common cards that caught me eye :
What a pity this small badger is not a beast, like the flavor text tells. He would have been nice with Advocate of the Beast. Without a boost, his Trample ability is useless. Not the best turn 1 play in Green, Sledge Scorpion or Elvish Mystic are better choices.
Cheese.
Bestow 5 for a +3/+1 boost, or a 3/1 body for 3 manas. No ability at all. Is that even good for a Hexproof deck?
Selesnya Auras deck surely has better picks already.
Only reason it caught my eye is a fine art, I do like wolves.
This Inspired centaur warrior is interesting. 3/3 beater for 4 manas is classic. The fact that he can get out of most Burn range once 4/4 or even 5/5 is the best part. Make him unblockabe with Aqueous Form and you have a potential killer.
Springleaf Drum reprinted as an uncommon? What a pity !
Oh, those hairy hoofs are so cute.
Here comes a good card. A 1/1 body is weak for 2 manas, but the upside is you can take benefit and get a land. Not only a Basic land, but even a gate. This guy is a great mana fixer, but not only.
Let's say you're playing Selesnya Auras and you have an Auramancer and that satyr in your starting hand, but no Aura. Get a land, mill the reavealed aura(s) in your graveyard, and get them back casting Auramancer on turn 3. Well, that's what this guy makes possible. Simply can be good in any deck playing some Green, wether monocolor or multicolor.
Devotion to Green? Maybe.
Still a bit risky, since if you play this on turn 2 or 3 it can die from a Shock or whatever. You'll have to target him twice before he reaches the out of Burn range. Perfect target for Aspect of Hydra if you're heading for a Monogreen deck.
Aggro? Devotion to Green?
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane ! (reference/quote? Say in the comments)
And the flavor text is great. There were better days at same casting cost, given Garruk's Companion, but hey, that's a fair deal for Mono Green Deck actually.
Great art !
Not a bad card, though the snake will often gain you 4 life because a 7/7 monster is too hard to deal with. Ramp deck playing threat after threat every turn once manabase is set can be painful. And that card can fit such an archetype.
Want to give it a try and see?
We have Giant Growth and we will have this too. Because it can be better than Giant Growth sometimes. Green Devotion is the way for that card to shine. And there can be some !
Nyleas Disciple and Aspect of Hydra are crying for some action right there. Swordwise Centaur, Setessan Oathsworn, battery !
All this and more makes it worth giving a test.
Ready?
So here we are done with the spoiler !
