Create X 1/1 Forest Dryad land creature tokens. (They are affected by summoning sickness.) "We expected the Argothians to defend their land. We didn't expect the land to defend itself."

Who had "mass Dryad Arbor token generation" in their Brothers' War bingo? This is at the very least large amounts of mana ramp to maybe rival those Powerstones, on top of all those landfall triggers.
Meathook Massacre....aren't there already two excellentanswers to that card in Standard? Okay, three, because it is unlikely anyone casts it for x=1. (well, at least as of next week in the case of the first one) Pioneer also has Annul.
There are plenty of other "all creatures get -1/-1" or "all creatures get -2/-2" effects that are inexpensive, as well as Sphere of Annihilation. Still....this thing could lead to somewhat broken situations.

Why are we talking about the Meathook ban? This isn't gonna be a problem in Standard anyway, probably not even playable unless Brothers' War slows the meta down a lot.

This is one heck of a scaling ramp spell (if a vulnerable one), but I'm not sure which deck in Modern wants it. Guess we gotta hook it up with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, or just hope we can ramp into Scapeshift this way?

Accurate statement.

Oh.
So that's why they banned it. Can't make new mythics less fun.

Lotus Cobra clearly approves.
And what are the other colours supposed to do?
*shrug* Don't know--haven't looked into them yet.
I suppose Blazing Volley or Cinderclasm or some other effect.
Vanquish the Horde, Doomskar, or some other wrath.
Golgari Charm or Savage Twister, if you aren't "out-greening" the other player.
Nausea or Path of Peril both work; there are others at mv=3 for -2/-2.
Let's just distill that answer down into "look for viable options".
