As printed, Really Epic Punch (which is an awesome mash-up of the art for Savage Punch and Epic Confrontation, for those that missed Khans and Dragons) has no duration on its pump effect. Is that an oversight, or is the punch really just that epic?
Ol' Buzzbark seems pretty insane. He's better with larger dice, which is something to take into consideration. Maybe bring a ruler with you as well. Does it still say to measure it in inches in other languages? That seems really annoying for people outside the US. It's not like US rulers don't have centimeters on them anyway.
I don't like the way that they keep using the "person outside the game" mechanic. On one card it would have been fine, but there are going to be times when there's no one available. Admittedly though, this one is less of a time commitment for the person you drag into the game, and it can even been done by someone who doesn't play Magic, but it still seems annoying to use.
Really Epic Punch is a nice throwback to the Tarkir block, but it seems weird to me that some of the cards referencing real planes still get watermarks from factions on the un-plane. Krark's Other Thumb has the same issue. And is the buff really supposed to permanent? I guess it kind of makes sense since augmented creatures get the extra power and toughness box anyway, but why not just put two +1/+1 counters? The card is already fine in an un-set for the flavor and for referencing augment, so why put memory issues on top of that.
Garbage Elemental brings back two old mechanics, one of them from an un-set, and one of them from Future Sight. That's kind of neat. It seems pretty decent in limited too, since there are so many wordy creatures in this set that the evasion really will be a factor.
Half-Squirrel, Half- is an insanely powerful trigger for host abilities even if you aren't using it with Ordinary Pony to go infinite. And you thought Felidar Guardian was bad. The Half-Squirrel, Half-Pony combo would actually be really easy to set up in limited or an un-EDH deck with the GW legend as the Commander.
Wow, Really Epic Punch really is right out of a black border set: Its got the generic green combat trick pump spell, the parasitic tribal mechanic, a 2 power 2 toughness bear for 1G, the shoehorned fight keyword for limited AND it conspicuously managed to be printed without an 'until end of turn' clause. Just like the real magic.
So... With Ol' Buzzbark on the stack, can I just take all my cards and move them entirely from the room? Or put them on other cards in order to get an advantage? Seems... Not fun.

Yeah you can certainly move your stuff.
If you couldn't then it would have to have "Just a Second", like the Insect Wrestler, Slaying Mantis. So you can move them. Would say that you probably have to leave them on the battlefield though.
So you could spread them out, or bunch them all together. But once the ability goes to resolve and dice start rolling, it's got to be hands off.
My house rules that buzzbark has just a second. Wtf were they thinking not actually having that on there? It like the best and worst card in the set now

Nah, it's probably like Riding the Dilu Horse; and effect that doesn't end at the end of turn.

Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
Garbage Elemental? Hmm, just how many wordy creature will there be. If there are a lot, this could end up as a basically a 4/4 unblockable.
