Nemata, Primal Guardian 2BG
Legendary Creature - Treefolk (Rare)
Reach
If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead. When you do, create a 1/1 green Saproling token. G, Sacrifice a Saproling: Nemata, Primal Guardian gets +2/+2 until end of turn. 1B, Sacrifice two Saprolings: Draw a card.
3/4
Speaking of returning characters during a Phyrexian invasion, Nemata keeps his Saproling affinity, while also leaning towards a more Thallid-like approach with them.
Damn that asymmetrical grave-hate. And card draw too. Tasty.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Oh hi, Kalitas, we've missed you in standard. 4 mana, 3/4 body with a keyword ability, makes creature tokens when opposing creatures die (in this case only 1/1s, but it also triggers off of token creatures dying now), and can say the tokens it makes to pump itself and also draw cards. Yea, Kalitas was great, and this card seems great. It's notably much less good against very aggressive decks, as it doesn't have lifelink, but it is better in most every other style matchup. Notably, being able to cash in the tokens for cards is a very very nice upside, effectively letting all your removal spells cantrip as the game goes long.
Ooh I like this a lot! My saproling-tribal Ghave commander deck wants it for sure, though it is fighting for space with about 100 other cards I want to run in that deck.
edit: that stained glass art treatment looks amazing too.
