A White Wall of Blossoms. Very nice. While it's a stretch for White, I can still see it.
The Legend has a problem for EDH as a General. He triggers if he goes to the graveyard. If you move him to the Command Zone, his ability doesn't trigger since it bypasses the Graveyard.
I totally called the colorshifted reprint as a white Wall of Blossoms. Love it. Also, a 1/1 and a 5/5 for 3 is probably constructed playable in RDW. Either they let you keep pinging them with your 1/1 or you get a 5/5.

Cantrip and 4 toughness for 2 mana...man Wall of Blossoms was good back in the day, and this I can definitely believe to be better due to its color. Too good.
Tuktuk is...weird. Raging Goblin for 3 mana isn't a good proposition, so you absolutely need some way to kill it yourself. Good in a sac deck, I guess.
If it were planar chaos, it would be a timeshifted card, different name, different color, everything else would be the same. The wall is okay...
But that goblin screams PLAY ME IN STANDARD! Jund would be happy to take this little runt in, oh you killed my goblin... HERES A 5/5 to take his place! MWAHAHA
I can understand Wall of Blossoms changed into white. Cantrips don't necessarily belong to any one color, although blue and green get the lion's share. I see it as just a power push on an otherwise generic card. And what color should get a wall with a power push? White, the #1 defender color, of course. Flavorwise, it's probably some wall covered in prophetic writings or something.
The goblin dude is a funny guy, but you're using him as either a wall, or swinging for just 1 damage a turn. And even when he does die, a 5/5 for 3 isn't quite as exciting in this day and age when we've been spoiled by Woolly Thoctars, Knight of the Reliquaries, and the like. It is somewhat anti-Annihilator, though.
Was expecting the colorshifted wall to be a white Fog Bank.
White has more history with making Enchantments cantrip, and it is currently considered part of their pie with Mesa Enchantress, thanks to Planar Chaos.
I would assume that the ETB draw ability is in green's pie, and white can have it VERY VERY VERY rarely. Blue gets it on big splashy cards sometimes.

How is Wall of Omens perfect for white? This makes no sense. They could've at least put it in blue, which makes sense for card drawing purposes. Since when has white normally received decent card drawing as part of it's color pie? Never. Even if this is the beginning of that color pie shift, it still doesn't make sense from a flavor perspective. Mono-white control, here we go.
Tuktuk seems pretty cool from a flavor side of things. Plus a 1/1 haste that can chump block to make a 5/5 on t3 isn't too bad. I'll probably pick up a couple to go in my casual Wildfire deck.
make sense? white? no, white doesn't do that anymore. white is a magical carnival of anything goes nowadays. in the next set white will get a color shifted kodama's reach, brainstorm, and incinerate.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.

I was going to say Tuktuk would be sweet in EDH, but MtGColorPie makes an excellent point.
