Locations
Today we continue our set review of Streets of New Capenna. Yesterday we went over the Red and Artifact cards and today we will be going over the Green and land cards of New Capenna, but first, how I will be rating the cards.
I will not be going over cards that I believe will not see play in Standard and I will not be going over the Commander cards that will not see Standard play. For example, cards like Angelic Observer and Ballroom Brawlers will be omitted since they are just Limited cards and saying, "This is just a Limited card" repeatedly gets old rather fast. Do not worry though, I will be covering all the rare and mythic cards in the actual Streets of New Capenna. So, if you like a certain rare or mythic, it will be mentioned in the review.
Keep in mind I'm rating all these cards for Standard playability. I will mention Modern applications if I believe the card has some.
Each card will be listed by color, then alphabetically by name.
Each card will be given a rating of 1-5. If a card would receive a 0, meaning it will see no play in that format ever, its rating is left off the list.
Rating | Explanation | Standard Examples
0 - Will never see play in this format (0 ratings are not listed).
1 - Unlikely to see play. (Divine Gambit)
2 - Could see fringe play, or occasional sideboard card. (Disdainful Stroke, Annul, Candletrap, Shadows' Verdict)
3 - Commonly played, staple in a single deck, or frequent play in several decks. (Righteous Valkyrie, Behold the Multiverse, Farewell)
4 - Format staples. Sees play in multiple decks, one of the best cards in the format. (Esika's Chariot, Elite Spellbinder, The Wandering Emperor)
5 - Format warping. If you are in these colors, you play that card or keep that card in mind when building decks. (Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Hullbreaker Horror)
Now that we have that out of the way, let's begin!
Green and Lands
 |
Bootleggers' Stash - 2 - Absolute meme card but a very fun one that I will definitely try to build around multiple times. |
 |
Bouncer's Beatdown - 2.5 - Again, this entire cycle is solid for your sideboards, this one is no different. |
 |
Evolving Door - 2 - They really hate a good Birthing Pod, don't they? Not tier one but one that is fun to build around. |
 |
Fight Rigging - 2.5 - Green Sparring Regimen. I personally think it is worse than Ranger Class unless you are casting some massive spell with the hideaway. Which you could be since Green has Titan of Industry. |
 |
Gala Greeters - 3.5 - Prosperious Innkeeper has grown up and he is now an Elf Druid! This card is great, it does a little bit of everything, I expect it to see play. |
 |
Titan of Industry - 4 - Whoa! This card is amazing. It does cost 7 mana but it is also in Green so it should not be too hard to get to 7 mana. |
 |
Topiary Stomper - 3.5 - If you are trying to cast Titan of Industry, you almost assuredly want to play this plant dino too! I love this little guy; it is Cultivate but you get a 4/4 instead of another land. Solid for a stompy deck. |
 |
Vivien on the Hunt - 2.5 - Very fringe card that reminds of Garruk, Caller of Beasts. They are very similar cards and they both will require cheap creatures to really go off. Garruk, Caller of Beasts was played in Elves, and we currently do not have that tribe as playable in Standard. |
 |
Workshop Warchief - 3.5 - Thragtusk, is that you?! While we do not gain the five life and the Rhino only triggers from death not just when it leaves play, it is still solid, especially against other creature decks. |
 |
The Triomes - 5 - Just flat-out amazing cards that will see tons of play. You've seen how good they were in Ikoria, they are no different now! |
Top 5 Green Cards
I did not include the triomes as they would be first! Today's list was small, but tomorrow's list is going to be massive as we go over all the multicolored cards. You won't want to miss it!
As always, thanks for reading,
