My Favorite card is Swords To Plowshares.
It is obviously very powerful, which is important.
But it also has the best flavor, and a resonant name that means something wonderful in the real world.
Homerun!

Maybe ghosts equalling spirits, and spirits originally being mostly white, is part of the haunt concept. But the word "haunt" and the actual graveyardy ness of the mechanic seem really mostly B.
Vis-a-vis below, though, I do think white is a good fit with radiance. Things that apply to all fit the flavor of white.
Convoke, too, fits white for this reason; although it is more green.
i wonder if the others are linked to their guild's keyword ability.
Now that's some archival justification for the thrulls being Orzhov. I like the specificity, and hope you're right: the more R&D mines old sets and dusts things off to fit in new sets the better IMO.
The thrulls could even have different color costs as part of their sac. activation, and thus earn the watermark of the guild in the textbox, even if they are exclusively Black cards....
searching google for "wierd" will not yield many useful results.
Earth Dance RG

Add RRGG to your mana pool.
it seems that the color pie likes both of these for manamaking now.
Red is the fast mana color and green fixes and accelerates.
I hope Gruul has some mana-esque aspect, too, in addition to the fast&strong creature theme...
Maybe:
RRGG
Blistering Gruul Ball
Creature - Elemental
Bloodthirst 2
Haste
Sacrifice ~this~ at end of turn
When ~this~ goes to a graveyard from play, you may distribute its +1/+1 counters on creatures you control.

It is a bit vampirish, both in word choice and mechanical history, but with reshuffling color pie it makes perfect sense in RG.
Could it really be a ice age block set that just exists by itself, and yet is T2 legal. The only interplay it would have would be with sets ten years old. Maybe it will be a Chronicles white border thing with the first two sets, in the new cardframe, to go with the coldsnap black border set?
I wonder if there are sleeper GP/DIS cards in RAV then are they some kind of even cycle that we could figure out or unbalanced. Maybe it's a block cycle that we'll only be able to see after all three sets....
That is, the Phasing rules change? We don't know what it's gonna be yet, my Mark Gottlieb (new rules manager) strongly implied that phasing needed some alteration...
