Watchwolf! I like how they turned it into a token for populate. Now the only problem with this is that your "Watchwolf" can now be countered by Negate, which is a thing I see quite often where I play. That aside, this is still pretty awesome and shall justify my need to make a Selesnya deck.

Aggressively costed? Check.
Populate fodder? Check.
Terese Nielsen artwork? Check.
Call of the Conclave, you're the bee's knees.

A fitting tribute to the Wolf.

Watchcentaur. It's only green, but it's a 3/3 for 2 that can be populated. Good deal.

Works with Talrand, Sky summoner, which combos even harder when you include Selesnya Charm, things like Cackling Counterpart and even counterspells that fuel Talrand. Basically, putting a token into play puts another token into play. Then populate whichever one suits your fancy. Intangible Virtue and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice make for 3/3 flying drakes and 4/4 centaurs with vigilance, and you gain more life when each comes into play.
Then throw in the obvious Parallel Lives and you get real overwhelming real quick.

Well, tis as close to a Watchwolf reprint as we could really ask for, and it plays nicely with populate cards.

Excellent in limited and standard. Two mana for a 3/3 with the benefits of being a token? Token decks are a lot stronger now that Ratchet Bomb is out of standard, previously they were too easily cleared off the table, now they can populate like mad. There's easily room for four of these in a standard deck and are a worthy early pick in draft. Love it.

Decent. 3/3 for two mana for populate is good. Though a creature card could be reanimated. Hm..

Sometimes it's easier to recur a creature than a spell in W/G, but populate is the theme that beats the Wolf.
And I love centaur :)

Shame the Centaur isn't Green and White. My Sister's Tolsmir Deck will be sad.
