Rootha is cool! she kind of has a weird built in protection via casting spells and copying them. Definitely will be finding her home in lots of U/R decks, I imagine.
So Rootha is like Uyo, Silent Prophet, except probably better 95% of the time and in the remaining 5% it's Uyo doing something infinite. Not that Rootha can't go infinite too - just go Rootha + Dramatic Reversal + Aether Vial on 3 + at least 2 mana out of mana rocks. At 2 it's infinite ETB/Magecraft triggers, at 3+ it's infinite mana too. Not broken or anything but I'm sure will happen at least once in an EDH table. Really like her, she'll be fun.
Also, seconding what Silvos said. Spectacle Mage has amazing art. Could also see some play in some Izzet spellslinger decks, because even a bad extra copy of Goblin Electromancer is still good in Izzet spellslinger.
It took me too long to notice the college watermarks. Yay!

Heck, every day I wake up, I don't go out and kill people - and I'm rewarded by not having legions of enemies! Amazing how that works.
Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.
Rowan is my favourite planeswalker, and this art for her in this set is only amplifying that. Kasmina is still my main but Rowan...hard to let that slip.
Rootha is ruthless with magecraft. Also flavour text on Prismari Campus: "Mage-students who see spellcraft as the highest form of self expression..."

The Uncommon legendary looks good for limited, copying those 6+ spells.
The bird shaman is solid uncommon for limited.
and the research should do good especially if you mix it with white for lorehold stuff.
