I want to list decent, cheap green rares for the newbie players of 5-Color. I'm focusing on the more recent sets, but feel free to list older cards or argue with some of my choices.
These are the green cards I came up with. Can anyone else think of anything older that would be decent yet easily given up if lost in ante?
I'm not too fond of this 'volver actually. Albino Troll just seems better overall. Mahamoti Djinn is just a better flyer for the 6 cc range.Anavolver, 3G, Creature — Volver 3/3, Apocalypse Rare, Illus. Matt Cavotta
Kicker 1U and/or B If you paid the 1U kicker cost, Anavolver comes into play with two +1/+1 counters on it and has flying. If you paid the B kicker cost, Anavolver comes into play with a +1/+1 counter on it and has “Pay 3 life: Regenerate Anavolver.”
These are actually fairly cheap considering and they are well worth the price. Note that they are restricted.Holistic Wisdom, 1GG, Enchantment, Odyssey Rare, Illus. Rebecca Guay
2, Remove a card in your hand from the game: Return target card from your graveyard to your hand if it shares a type with the card removed this way. (The card types are artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land and sorcery.)
An idea for domain-style decks if you don't mind giving your opponent an advantage too.New Frontiers, XG, Sorcery, Odyssey Rare, Illus. Ron Spencer
Each player may search his or her library for up to X basic land cards and put them into play tapped. Then each player who searched his or her library this way shuffles it.
Spreading a blanket of growth to warm a weary world.
This is possible if you have a smooth mana base and are playing heavily into other colors besides green.Quirion Dryad, 1G, Creature — Dryad 1/1, Planeshift Rare, Illus. Don Hazeltine
Whenever you play a white, blue, black, or red spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Quirion Dryad.
“Never underestimate the ability of natural forces to adapt to unnatural influences.” -Molimo, maro-sorcerer
Again, this card is restricted for a reason.Restock, 3GG, Sorcery, Invasion Rare, Illus. Daren Bader
Return two target cards from your graveyard to your hand. Remove Restock from the game.
