I was okay with it back in '83 as a teen even though it was even a bit too hacky for my tastes. Going to pass this go around. I'm sure it will hit the nostalgia button for some, and that is fine.

Archaeomancer and the Enchantress are great.
The dryad too, but I can do without it since I already have several foils.
Very curious to see how much bloom tender and primal vigor drop as a result of these prints

As someone who proudly owns a foil Bloomtender and remembers what happened with the reprint of Devoted Druid, I'm not not looking forward to the impact this will likely cause.

Thanks for responding.
That's actually reassuring and somewhat good news to anticipate for me since I traded my only copy once the price rose too high to ignore when I honestly felt the card didn't (and still doesn't) justify its tag whatsoever according to my own internal instinctive barometer. It's one of those cards which got printed during my hiatus and I never locked in a playset because I honestly never felt it was necessary for my builds upon returning a few years after. Even though I appreciate its ramp potential, it's still a vulnerable 1/1 2-drop, and there's a part of me which would still prefer paradise druid who protects herself and is much more likely to survive a turn after entering. Also, now that Jund has a hierarch of its own, we'll probably see fewer and fewer 2drop ramp creatures in general. Devoted druid got way too high for what was originally a common (the only reason being because that set had a low print run) and was reasonably expected to crash upon being eventually reprinted (at any rarity below rare), so the result was unsurprising. However, when it comes to cards which were originally rare (or mythic) and get reprinted in box sets as opposed to packs, it's more difficult for me to evaluate the likely degree of impact on current market prices.

I mean it's print to order so there will be a whhhhhoooolllleeee lot of these these added to the supply stream. I do anticipate that the original will hold some value $100+ maybe? as it's a gorgeous Chippy foil (the main reason I sought one out for myself) but this will undoubtedly take a hit as the number of players who prefer quality over quantity is a niche market.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I have to admit I am completely unaware of what this cartoon is.
For a moment, I had hoped the art would be from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
Anyway, yeah, Bloom Tender. Clearly the top notch card in this set. I think I've got only one in total - and defs not a foil.
The first six are directly from the old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. If you have never watched it, it is a fun show. Basically 5 kids get transported to the original Dungeon and Dragons campaign world (It's called like Mysteria or something like that) and given magic items that simulate classes basically and determine which class they are. The run into a butt of a DM that follows them everywhere (the balding dude in red robes) and run into Tiamat in session one hahaha.
But yeh, it was a fun show for sure...and kinda dark in the end.
Agreed, her art is great. Like Starfield Mystic being a male "enchantress" (kinda), I'd love a male Archaeomancer to be my stand-in for people like Howard Carter and various Egyptologists
Or just more archaeologists in MTG in general
Also, where are the meteorologists? I love me some weather cards, but not just boring lightning tempests in UR. Need more Theros astronomers too. And a Jenrik card (how DARE YOU WOTC)
