Given all the anthems limited by color and creature type, I suppose choosing the colors most associated with generic anthems was a wise choice.

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!
Yeah, disappointed to see no saprolings. Golgari seems like it could have gotten Saprolings too with the fungus. To be honest, I was kind of hoping the whole fungus theme in the art of the Golgari cards would be more than just representative of the way the Golgari work. I definitely wanted to see it worked into mechanics and creature types more.
A mechanic where your enchantments grow over time with spore counters or something would have been cool. Oh well...
At least the setting is that they're all going to war, so Selesnya abandoning Saprolings for Soldiers (and Knights) makes some sense.
But where's my Boros Soldiers at? Guess Goblins are the superior soldiers now, if the Boros only recruit them for mentoring...
And yeah, an awkward low number of tokens for a plane consisting of 10 guilds (5 here, but 2 of the most number-based are here as well...) scrambling for power for war.
Perhaps the angel tokens come from the new Trostani?
It's interesting that this angel looks as if it's from the same group as Guardian of the Gateless instead of Boros.. and it totally doesn't look like an Orzhov angel.
My theory on Aurelia and the Boros still stands. Hwehwehwe...

That's not the art I was expecting for the Elf Knights. Definitely thought it'd be a wolf rider. And damn, that foreshortening on the sword of the Lifelink Soldier looks bad. I'll probably have to make a custom token for that one if I end up using Emmara and/or March of the Multitudes somewhere.
No Saprolings are a bit sad indeed, but I guess they already moved them out of Selesnya in RTR (at least mechanically - I don't know if the guild still uses them lore-wise). They're a Golgari thing now, but Golgari got Insects this time around because of the Kraul in the story. Oh well.
The angel and the goblin are the best-looking ones imo.
Only 8 tokens and 2 of them are emblems? I expected some Big Boys for Selesnya. Interesting.
I´m kind of glad to not see a 5/5 Wurm or something like that, it just feels so bad to have those bounced. But yeah, six tokens plus emblems must be the lowest number in a while, right?

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
I wish they did saprolings this time around, need some thallids to build a decent

Insect, Bird Illusion and Goblins are very, very cool. Love those.
Awful soldiers instead of saprolings in Selesnya is heresy. I don't care Selesnya is going to war now, Saprolings can fight too. Soldiers having the same stats as small goblins, birds and insects is flavor fail anyway.
The elf knights is a pretty good idea but the token art is a letdown. I guess everyone expected a cool wolfrider, not this weird creep.
The angel is ok. It has too much weird posing in my opinion but I can't say I don't like it. Not surprised the Angel is not Boros... Ravnica always has tons of guildless white angels.

That art is pretty darn similar to the Angel stage right behind Resplendent Angel. So much so I had to double check just to be sure.
I see enough of that Angel in my meta.
