Trostani's Summoner 5GW
Creature - Elf Shaman
When Trostani's Summoner enters the battlefield, put a 2/2 white Knight creature token with vigilance, a 3/3 green Centaur creature token, and a 4/4 green Rhino creature token with trample onto the battlefield.
1/1
While expensive, it also contains one of the sickest etb trigger I've seen in a while. Lose to Wrath, but he's not a bad deal for 7 mana.
It's okay. It's 10 power, but for 7 mana. I think Armada Wurm is a lot stronger for less mana.
It does make more power per flicker. I think it's probably best to compare it to other 7-mana options in the colors though, like Avenger of Zendikar, Hornet Queen, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, which are all quite a bit better. I doubt this will see much play outside of peasant cubes.

Very cool, and amazing with blink or reanimation, but a seven cost GW beater that folds to Wrath and gets dominated by a single 4/5 isn't going to crack my gold section as currently constructed.
I like that it comes with 4 bodies but i would agree armada wurm seems like a better card, but I don't think they are made for the same decks.
Armada wurm seems to fit the curve topper topper role for white green aggresive builds or white green tokens. This card seems to fit into a bant "blink" control build better. Very similiar though and I will test this card. I like the mana cost more then I like Armada wurms. The wurm having WWGG instead of WG that this card has pigeon holes into just WG decks more then allowing a more liberal three color construction but has the advantage of being 6 mana instead of seven.
Alway I am kind of rambling now, I look forward to testing it to see how it actually plays out.

Except that both green and white have good 7-drops (Elesh Norn and Hornet Queen) and how many of those do you need? Both colors lack really good 6-drops. So, I'd much prefer a six drop in GW. As it stands, I'm not running this or Armada Wurm. Cool design and will be fun in many casual decks but Summoner isn't going to make many cubes.
I really like the interactions between this and many of the archetype defining cards/utility cards in the cube. Reanimation is cool with it (especially Rec Nightmare), Blink is amazing with it, Imperial Recruiter searches for it, Reveillark recurs it. Just a really cool creature IMO. I'd like to test it at the very least.

I'd love to hear your results. This card is really good in some cool cube decks.

Want to Cube but don't have one? Check the map if anyone is in your area and get cubing!
All the interactions with various cool decks really make this a great card. I wish it was cheaper (for less power, obviously, no need to be greedy here) or mono-green. I guess what I really want is a second Deranged Hermit, and they probably know enough about making cards to not print that.

This in mono green would've been pretty great. It would see play in my cube for sure.
It's a pretty good card, as are most of the ones I like less and which are listed in the bottom half. WG is just deep. The regular artwork is fantastic.

When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
You can bring this back with revielark...., search for it with recruiter... etc. But its in the strongest guild, so it won't make the cut. Going to put it right into my EDH blink deck, however.
I think this card would have been much better as a 5GG card since Selesnya is just so stacked and they just picked up 2 more possible playable cards in Advent of the Wurm and Voice of Resurgence.
I think turning it into a token with Cackling Counterpart then using any number of populate cards seems like a fun interaction. Competitive? Not exactly. Fun combo to put in a Bant token/blink deck? Absolutely.

Well it's nice that it makes your enemy want to kill a 1/1 in the presence of other creatures lest you make use of the blink you've been holding. It is a seven mana guy though and I would hope your seven mana guys are exciting without holding tricks. How many slots for those are you willing to have?
Man this takes me back to when nishobas made cube. Anyone remember that?

Decent card, but Selesnya is too deep for this to be a real option for all but the biggest cubes.
