What I could see was:
Some unreleased commons/uncommons and a green mythic rare. I can't crop the images out at the moment. So feel free to do it yourself ;).
Well lets try to do at least the mythic:
Ashaya, Soul of the Wild 3GG
Legendary Creature - Elemental
~'s power and toughness are each equal to the number of lands you control.
Nontoken creatures you control are Forest lands in addition to their other types. (They're still affected by summoning sickness.)
Hmm. The fact that the commons and uncommons are NOT necessarily connected by theme, really makes the booster feel disjointed and not that much different at all from a draft booster (aside from "the list" card, sure). The first pack he opened had three common warriors-matters cards and three uncommon landfall cards (and the landfall cards were spread among four colors). If I was a player "not interested in drafting" but "interested in adding to my collection" I'm not sure why I would necessarily take a set booster or if I would really notice or understand the difference, if I wasn't holding the detailed explanation from Wizards. I guess if these are the exact same price as draft boosters, and I'm not playing limited, I would choose these.
From the second pack, we learned that black actually has a fairly significant +1/+1 counters theme. This could be the black/green limited theme. We've seen a green kicker creature already that cares about +1/+1 counters too.
The green mythic is:
Ashaya, Soul of the Wild 3GG
Legendary Creature - Elemental
P/T each equal to the number of lands you control.
Nontoken creatures you control are Forest lands in addition to their other types (they're still affected by summoning sickness).
i really like ashaya, but at the same time i'm not entirely sure i do
the nontoken clause kills a lot of the fun for me. it keeps the card fair, but it just isn't as fun.
it'd be perfect in titania builds if it weren't for that one line. i might try it in prime speaker zegana since the build barfs lands, wants a creature with a fat face, and is pretty mana hungry, but i'm not sure it really cuts it anywhere else for me (or even there). i suppose its going to be another nice alternative to cradle/earthcraft since they've skyrocket in price, and thats always kind of good.
As a judge I know Ashaya will bring questions like does it trigger landfall by itself. Or can I Assassin's Trophy my opponent's creatures with it in play (it can't of course)

But I do like the card
I was just going to comment this also turns off stuff like Mythos of Nethroi.
Do you want to know something adorable about Ashaya your creatures gain immunity to wrath’s that say “all nonland” like say....cyclonic rift! remember ashaya itself gets the land thing too
I really like this and she is def needed for my wind grace deck. The whole thing is focused on creature lands and this helps so much on that end.

I'm glad that they actually gave this thing a card instead of that crappy token that one of the tokens Nissa makes on her previous rendition. Ashaya was like a vanilla 4/4 or something, but yet it was the "Soul of the Wild", which just seems comical to have something so powerful be a vanilla 4/4 token creature.
Definitely excited to pick one of these up for my Windgrace Build!
Also, Brushfire Elemental seems legit. I would love to try and make a Gruul Stompy Landfall deck with him and the new Hellhound.
Thanks for the link. But... Content creators/pack openers for the love of Heliod TRIM YOUR FINGERNAILS if you open packs. Some of us find it downright gross. I wouldnt show my hands as they are dry and cracked and would probably freak people out. If not WEAR GLOVES. On a side note does Gavin have a toe thumb? It's a serious question because if he does the surgeons did a great job disguising it. I am considering the set packs. This really didn't wow me. I will stay tuned.

I will never understand why WotC is producing so many different products that carry the same set of cards.
Instead of buying just booster packs and having a chance for ANY card in the set, we get so many special special super special products that have their own random "special" cards in them, so nobody truly knows anymore what cards are in what product and how to get them ; so instead smart people buy singles and dont bother at all with these SPECIAL products.

On the fun side, it makes me want to play some superjank like Ashaya + Role Reversal + Fall of the Thran.
And I will go further than that
Wilderness reclamation not only your lands are untapping the creatures too
Chromatic orrery or Orochi Leafcaller Esque cards you create a cryptolith rite
Patron of the Orochi the WUBR Creatures get a piece of the action of being untapped
Nissa, Who Shakes the World lets change tap G To tap GG Shall we
everything with “landfall” now triggers from non token creatures coming in
Although I gonna feel so bad for the judgeS when a blood moon pops out because it’s gonna infinitely turn on and off
It's all in the layers, they don't lose their creature characteristics. Now you can have a Magus of the Moon with Humility for even more confusion.
