I probably wouldn't play a 4/4 haste token for 4 that made me lose a land when it died, and this theoretical card is worse than that. It ties up a mana to attack too. Even though I guess you could flinthoof boar it in for one cheaper but still, losing a land is whack.
Actually, that carda design is pretty close to the red zendikon.
That's true, I didn't think about it that way. What about awaken 5? (definitely would have to cost 1GG) That might be a little too strong, but a 1GG 5/5 haste that makes you pay 1 to attack and destroys a land when it dies seems reasonable enough for green. It would be kind of like a green Qal Sisma Behemoth, though haste makes a big difference.
Not quite sure if that's printable, even as a 2/1 it feels pretty strong. You're basically adding 1 mana to Rampant Growth for the body, of which anything 2/1 or bigger is pretty significant upside. Borderland Ranger is a competent cube card on its own without the buff.
For most decks, yes. A 1/1 is basically just a chump blocker most of the time, whereas a 2/2 actually attacks and trades reasonably well. I prefer Growth Spasm to Farhaven Elf, since the extra ramp from the spawn comes in handy way more often than its lack of power.
Civic wayfinder goes into my decks that want to attack and also want to play 4 drops and 5 drops. Farhaven elf doesn't attack and is just then a 3 mana rampant growth that can't get my second white source for cloudgoats.
Allies would be an interesting theme. I don't know if there's enough payoff at C/U, but time will tell. The main problem would be how many of them are just terrible outside of an allies deck.
I don't find Worn Powerstone really close to something I want to play, and the semi-cycling option doesn't make me want to spend one more mana on the effect.

Gideon's Reproach 1W

Gideon's Reproach deals 4 damage to target attacking or blocking creature.
Not sure if this makes the cut in most cubes but it's much better removal than I was expecting at common, given the stuff we've been getting lately. Then again, I wasn't expecting Rolling Thunder either. Maybe wizards is dialing back on their "Removal at common/uncommon must suck" philosophy of late.
And another blue 1 or 2 drop.

a new blue finisher would be really awesome
i'd also love a utility colorless creature of some kind
any new archetype defining cards are always most welcome
a good aggressive 3 drop in green is probably my biggest need. a 2G sorcery with no ability and awaken 4?
This would also be the block where we can maybe get a sweeper worth running in blue or white.
Also a good block for a new 5c land.
