I'm really trying to come up with true mono-green villains... maybe like, the Floronic Man from early Swamp Thing? But he was ultimately working against the natural order out of selfishness, so maybe more black using green methods. Poison Ivy? She's closer but I'd say still some black or red for how she manipulates people.
Some kind of hivemind sounds about as close as you can get, one that isn't necessarily malicious but becomes too powerful via its own evolution/adaptation capabilities. The Zerg, maybe, separate from Kerrigan.
<NNNEEERRRRRDDD>
Poison Ivy is absolutely green-black; her goals are self serving and she relishes domination over others. I think a better example of mono-green villainy is Ra’s Al Ghul, who literally believes in the perfection of the natural balance of the planet, so let’s wipe out humanity to restore it. His methods are cruel and devoid of empathy but rarely self-serving; he doesn’t seem to really care that’s he's rich and powerful, only that it’s a means to an end, and he’s repeatedly offered his own life and lives of loved ones up as an option if he believed it furthered the goal of restoring the planet’s balance.

Golos is... interesting. Notably, he's really, really easy on the manabase for a 5c commander, since you can tutor up any bounceland to guarantee jis ability the next turn if you've found three colors. He's also fun to flicker for utility land shenanigans

Hmm. Could Golos make the cut for Amulet in modern?
The more I think about Golos, the more I like him as a card that teaches you why its useful.
It's five color, but its big splashy ability is obviously supported by being a colorless land tutor, pushing you to a much more stable three-color-with-splashes deck and allowing new players to more easily play without perfect manabases. And that push to lean on his ability to tune your manabase to get the big splashy ability shows you how good it is to tutor up lands, pushing you towards a different, more tuned blink-and-grind deck, showing that the seemingly minor ability can do way more work than the big splashy one.

I know it's making you play a bunch of different lands, but I feel like this one really takes off in multiples. It's not quite Valakut, but it could get out of hand. Maybe also a new toy for Gates decks?

Nah Twitter is an awful company run by apologists for white supremacy and is a vehicle for vast quantities of terrible bullshit. If I could press a button to get rid of it permanently I would.

Also it's super sweet to get dudes for free doing things you already want to be doing, mostly.

Most decks don't want to be running extreme varities of lands and those that do probably aren't looking to run colorless ones!
that card slots pretty naturally into esper as a one or two of
what are you smokin that thing is awful
it's some free 2/2s at the cost of needing to wait like 10 turns to get online (because let's be honest, hitting exactly 7 different lands by turn 7 is exceedingly optimal, and your payoff is just a few 2/2s)
if decks don't have room for the already existing colourless utility lands like Field of Ruin, Karn's Bastion, Mobilized District, or Blast Zone it's really hard to imagine these hoops being worth it
In Modern it's not super unreasonable if the format ever becomes one where that effect is viable. Snow-covered lands have different names than regular basics, fastlands, shocklands and creaturelands, possibly some canopy lands and then your fetchlands essentially work double-duty. It wouldn't be difficult to get it online, but that doesn't matter when Hogaak is around doing its bullshit.

Ah I missed that. I'm always up for new planes.
Someone definitely messed up on throwing together the English mock-up.
likely a mistranslation

This sort of big butt dork is exactly what I've wanted for Sphinx tribal for ages. Stupid angels >:c
Theros has to happen soon ao they can being back Elspeth to replace Gideon and have her go after Phyrexia.
In most cases at least you're directing traffic to the person who got the spoiler
Because it's slightly less work and I'm already browsing Twitter, plus there's usually other relevant info, such as the source.
Jesus Fucking Christ, really?

I though Kaya was the new Gideon, by giving her an oath card.

By that logic Ajani and Teferi are the new Gideon too. At least one of them has been monowhite.
