This picture should have depicted one of the cats from Affectionate Indrik, but that is the only negative thing I can say about it. Excellent Limited filler.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Unaligned cards like this are interesting - what is their intended purpose? This cat can block small tokens, can be pumped by mentor effects, and replaces itself so you feel fine getting it in the graveyard for undergrowth. I like the versatility.
Sooo. Are Ravnican soldiers so weak that they'll lose in a fight a stray cat?
Cool card though. Great art and flavor.
It's a stray cat that lives on the streets of Ravnica. How do you think it lasted past kittenhood?

Since we've had 2/1s for 1 mana, I'd expect if this had no card draw to be a G 1/2. And 2 mana is about what you'd expect to draw a single card. So I guess it's not bad.

Well, Elvish Visionary costs 1G. So from that perspective you're getting +0/+1 and losing an extremely relevant creature type for 1.

It also convokes stuff. That's the bit that's not obvious, it's "2G, 1/2, draw a card, tap for G". Might turn out to be a fondly remembered card in limited. It's also 100% true to life and heartmeltingly adorable

"Masques Block is the worst block ever! There's not one decent card in there! The whole internet say's so, you're literally the only person who ever said it was good!" - random noob in a conversation with an Eldrazi.
I really like Milivoj Ceran's art in this set. It's good to see some more art with a traditional feel, digital stuff has been too dominating in the last few years.

Edit: I really like the cat's expression. It's so proud.
GENERATION 12: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your signature and add 1 to the generation number. It's a social experiment.

Cat owners--the flavor text is 100% true, right?

I would say it's the one thing Bolas wouldn't expect.
However, really... it's the first thing he should have expected.
