I hoped for some Eternalize goodies, but seems like all their base bodies are overcosted or nor that good, and the Eternalize cost doesn't make it any better. Would it really hurt limited to have a Wind Drake with Eternalize 3UU?
I also like the Faithful, it's pretty good. Life Goes On is also interesting: while the ceiling is not as high as Feed the Clan, it costs half the mana and the condition is a lot easier to meet. Plus the bottom is better than Feed the Clan as well, I'd rather pay G for 4 life than 1G for 5.
Faithful is going to generate tons of life for certain combo decks that run those colours as well as being a great roadblock as soon as turn 1. There are still people playing Familiars Combo decks out there, and this seems nice. It could also be good in Pestilence decks, with a fat butt and life gain both being good for the deck.
Life Goes On will likely take the place of Feed the Clan in most Stompy sideboards. It's not as though Feed was that hard to enable either though, so maybe the extra 2 life is just better, regardless of the mana cost? I dunno. LGO seems like the better card, overall. Most people are running Nest Invader anyways, which makes it very easy to activate.
Firebrand Archer is often going to be auperior to the two equivalent cards. Play basically anything to get tbe kill is amazing, might even make cheerios viable.

Tragic Lesson is looking like a good draw! It seems better that Artificer's Epiphany since you don't have to run artifacts. It's also functionally a two mana spell if you haven't played a land for the turn and don't have any lands in hand. Works well with lands that gain life when they enter or other ETB effects.
Firebrand Archer is certainly enticing, but, that 1 toughness makes it vulnerable to all kinds of removal. I'm more hopefully that the recent addition of several decent cards with cycling will open things up for more mid range beatdown decks.
The big one so far is God-Pharaoh's Faithful. Mutlicolored control decks now have a great early blocker that gains life! Pretty interesting card!
