This will definitely make it into standard. Though...even with the first ability it will still get taken out by red's removal...Ah well, suppose that is true for brontodon too because of Lava Coil.
I see this making it into a brawl deck as well.
Also would be interesting in possibly a bant deck with Naban, Dean of Iteration Now that would be cool.

The only problem is, Panharmonicon requires you choose only that mode, though you can target the same thing twice, but still...

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!
This seems quite good. It will always be able to do something useful. I'm not sure it's better than finks though for life gaining purposes since finks can block twice.

Honestly I could see running one Knight of Autumn main deck, as it's worst it would be 4/3 against decks that the life gain or artifact/enchantment is not relevant. But the advantage of having a game one answer to artifact/enchantment combos, or even some reprieve against burn game one is pretty flexible, with not too much downside.
Then you could run a couple in the sideboard. The advantage here is that it's going to allow Green/White Value Town decks to free up one or two slots in the sideboard going forward in my opinion.
Why would I want this over Kitchen Finks? Finks is good because of the persist with a little life gain. This does give the life right away, but it is far easier to swing into and not come out worse for wear. It definitely can replace Reclamation Sage in sideboards for decks that can fit it, but it is a far cry from finks.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

It does? I would have thought based on wording that you could choose two different modes for the two triggers.
The card itself seems okay. I really like the artwork, and I'm glad that we're getting some dryads (especially on Ravnica, which definitely has my favorite dryads).

It's a matter of versatility and potentially freeing up sideboard slots.
It's going to change from month-to-month depending on what's popular in the current meta. But whenever you can free up slots for putting in extra hosers for what is popular at the time has huge advantages.
It's going to change all the time, but it is going to replace Reclamation Sage/Qasali Pridemage and then I could easily see it replacing at least one of the Kitchen Finks that decks might run.
Then that potentially frees a slot, maybe you could run a Kitchen Finks for that slot, but at the same time because you've already been able to sideboard in some cards that give you life gain for aggro matchups, you may feel like that slot is better for some other matchups.
It just gives the deck more reach for differing matchups.
As long as you're in the colors, this is pretty much strictly better than Reclamation Sage.
I'm probably still keeping Qasali Pridemage in my EDH though, mainly because a 4 life and 4/3 statline isn't as significant in the format and I think Exalted and the flexibility of having a body that can wait for the removal option at any time is still in a different way more flexible than a decision I have to make on the spot.

It depends. What mode are you choosing for her ETB?
-Weapon: put two +1/+1 counters.
-Fan: gain 4 life.
-Rake: destroy target artifact or enchantment.
Anyway Reclamation Sage Replacement...the only thing bad about it is not an Elf.
Clearly on a war path to...cleaning up the yard.
A charm that you can blink with Oath of Teferi.
Timmy, Johnny, and Spike are all happy with Knight of Autumn.
Plus, you know, (G/W), the people's color pair. The price tag on this thing is gonna be out of control.
Unless you split it and run 2 Knight of Autumn and 2 Thrashing Brontodon.
This will definitely make it into standard. Though...even with the first ability it will still get taken out by red's removal...Ah well, suppose that is true for brontodon too because of Lava Coil.

6/5 PT or 8 life.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

This is going to do fun things with a certain Angel though.
They both gain 4 life but this one does it all at once.

I think with the popularity of Krark-Clan Ironworks that recent lists are not even running Kitchen Finks in favor of hosers like Stony Silence.
