1.Healing Grace is a way to go, but is weak and I don't think it will impact modern alot. It is both effects of Healing salve in one card.
2.Firesong and Sunspeaker has the effect I would like to see as an archtype in modern but it's CMC is preventing that from happening. I assume its 4-6 since the P/T is 4/6
3.Merfolk Trickster is yet another proof of just how much love merfolks are getting recently. Don't know why. They were a great deck even before going green.
4.Lyra Dawnbringer. Very similar to Baneslayer angel, not very innovative.
5.I love Dauntless Bodyguard.
5.Seal Away...I think it should be a great addition to modern. Hopefully. There isn't much mainboard enchantment hate, it has flash, 2cmc and a full creature exile. It's good.
6.Squee, the immortal. I understand how the story of this guy works well with the mechanic of the card and it's flavor but I basically dislike that such effect is given to the red color. Similar color to this is Misthollow Griffin which is blue. To be able to cast cards from exile really hurts white color and reduces the value of PtE. I wanted to suggest that white color gets the ability to return spells and cast spells from exile as it's thing. I think it is flavorful to white in general, as it's thing. It exiles criminals and pardons them back...
7.Steal-leaf champion makes Leatherback Baloth obsolete. Why didn't the wizards make him more nuanced or a bit more situational. Now, there will never be a reason to play Leatherback at all since you can play this guy.
8.Benalish Marshal.....this is one of the problems..3 pure white mana for MC...why? That kind of mana cost makes this creature exclusive to white color. I undestand that Glorious Anthem also has CMC 3...but that was in 10th edition and modern evolved. One colorless mana in stead of one white mana wouldn't harm.
The prediction is even after the other 109 cards getting revealed later I garateed most to all of you will still say "I hate this set."
Your internet people (most of you) you guys complain about nearly everything In any set despite the amazing stuff we get in reprint sets and standard sets
My love/hate barometer is generally dictated by the quality of the removal in a set. Something is terribly wrong when I have to have an effing wizard on the battlefield in order to play Lightning Bolt. I'm not a dog. I'm tired of having to jump through hoops to make cards go from garbage to playable.

7. Redundency? Maybe someone wants 8 3 drops for their green stompy or devotion decks.
8. I think it is a nod to white weenie strategies and give a nice reward to people who enjoy mono colour decks. I think if it cost 1WW it would have to have been a 1/1 and at 2WW it is a better Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon" with more relevant creature types.
I was actually pretty excited to see monocolour decks getting some love

Do you think it would have come to the public view if wotc didn't want it to? Seriously?

The cards themselves feel cool but the spoilers kinda ruined it for me.
