I'm very confused about the activated abilities. I get the appeal of a toolbox, but I can't understand why the graveyard thing is there, it looks very random.
If you're running it in say, a RG aggro, it lets you attack with deathtouch into creatures, if blocked and killed, lets you recycle them out of the grave back into the library.

Green has always had recycling to the hand but I think they wanted to something new with it so they had it put them on the bottom of your deck, which is very nice especially so you don't get milled out which I personally have had problems with when using green.

It's flavour:
Spring -> season of birth and growth -> adding counters
Summer -> season of heat and active wild life -> damage
Autumn -> season of harvest -> life gain
Winter -> season land is fallow but seeds of future life are sleeping -> graveyard to bottom of library waiting to be drawn

Cute! It's got the four seasons thing going as well as the little 1-2-3-4 bit with the modes.
I do wish that it was a bit better at shooting down flying creatures since it's a bow and all, but I understand wanting to lessen the situations where a green card can repeatedly kill a ton of the opponent's creatures.
I *really* hope there's something like Voltaic Key or Unbender Tine in this set.

Now, please let Nylea herself have 1G: Target creature must block this turn if able.

Good spot. That is such in line with what Mark Rosewater has been discussing in his articles and podcasts about having patterns on cards. Like he really wanted Griselbrand to cost 7, and how the modes of Primeval Bounty where not balanced on power just to make them all mention the number 3.
This works perfectly with a deck idea I had. Involving immortal servitude, 2cmc creatures and beck. It is the conjourers bauble effect for standard eggs however losing faiths reward :(.
I'm actually surprised people think this is so good. Sure, it does a lot of different things, but none of them are really that amazing. I think this is the sort of card that looks better on paper than it'll be in an actual game.
Don't get me wrong, I think it'll be a great card in certain decks (probably those with Nylea herself since the flavor of this leads me to think that her ability will indeed force creatures to block as empathogen has already mentioned. Very in flavor for hunting after all.) Aside from the deathtouch though, it's two super situational abilities and two rather weak ones. I just don't think it's quite as amazing as folks are making it out to be.
This is assuming the card is real of course. Personally, I'm putting my chips on it being real. Otherwise, it's an expertly done fake.
Why is all this 'fotoforensics' stuff evidence of anything? We've received real spoilers from major fan sites that have been terrible mock ups. Still real spoilers, just not the official card image.
I believe that has already been mentioned. Also, images can get flagged like that from resizing, saving, changing image format/quality, etc. Also, stormtroopers have sauces.
Attacking creatures have deathtouch... so this card makes it harder for people to block. Interesting. As for the other effects, well, excessive, but gets the job done.
Reading through the thread, I don't think anyone has mentioned yet the synergy this has with Bident of Thassa!
Attack with some guys, they all have deathtouch so if you block them your blockers will probably die, but if you don't block them I draw cards.
Designing a card that does five different things and having no apparent connection, mechanical or flavorful, between any two of those things... is almost impressive.

I like this card solely because it's the most efficient way to give a trampling beatstick deathtouch. And trample plus deathtouch equals awesome sauce.

Looks playable, decent mana cost, attack every turn while adding counters, even mana dorks can get damage in. The other modes are some cool utility, kill small flyers, gain 3 life, recycle gy for better late game or tutoring.
Just noticed the 4 cards go on the bottom of your library not shuffled in. You could recur newts lol, or remove food for deathrite or scooze if needed. Without another shuffle effect you wont help your late draws though.
If you're running it in say, a RG aggro, it lets you attack with deathtouch into creatures, if blocked and killed, lets you recycle them out of the grave back into the library.
Or this little thing to thin options down to what you would like.

This card looks epic. Really nice versatility - at worst it's repeated lifegain (Archangel of Thune?). I like it a lot.
Regarding running a 4-color deck without fetchlands:
MostlyLost on Cockatrice.
Real passes priority to Fake, with Fake at 2 life, but before Fake can play anything, TK interrupts and casts Sudden Shock at Fake's dome.

I personally already have a home for it in a g/w first striking knight deck.
