I think that the flavor text being a passage from Sarpadian Empires, Vol. III is probably making me more happy than the fact that we're getting a cheap Saproling lord.
Ok but where’s our 1-drop common fungus that curves into this? Thallid doesn’t fit the nunbercrunch, but there has to be a somewhat equivalent in that role that we haven’t seen yet.

I wasn't sure anyone cared so I didn't bother to post a translation... so far. It goes:
"The decorative protrusions characteristic to alpha thallids can either be hereditary or catalyzed by some chemical signal"
- Sarpadian Empires, Vol. III
Signal could be flare or flag, as I have no knowledge of biochemisry to pinpoint the right word here.
The English wording would be "Fungus and Saproling creatures you control get +1/+1."
Anyway, I like this, Sap tribal it is. But the saproling cards I like have the major issue of...With the exception of Aether Mutation, they're actually spread across four colors. This actually surprised me. (Though to be fair, most are partially green.)

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Creature — Fungus (Uncommon)
Each other creature you control that’s a Fungus or Saproling gets +1/+1.

Not a drill. Saps.dek looks fun.

Otoh, I'd like to see a 2 cmc goblin lord. Just saying.
I've always wanted to have a 2 CMC Goblin King (and Elvish Champion) to go with Lord of Atlantis. Fingers crossed we'll get em.

That would be neat. Gives +1/+1 with plainswalk for WW.
So... four of these, four Verdant Forces, four Heroic Interventions, lotsa ramp...
