Uh, hexproof flyer please.

EDIT: Hmmm... actually does that make our auras fall off it? It's neither shroud or hexproof, but I guess it makes glimmering angel and illegal aura target so it falls off.

Might Weave does seem pretty good but fragile. Theres' also a green 4/4 for 5.

I like Might Weaver. Fills our curve and can be relevant in the late game.

The angel does gain shroud, check the oracle wording, And it should not make our auras fall off. We probably could take the angel I just didn't notice it because of the blue activation.

Not sure about the Angel. The body is rather small for the cost, and we have a grand total of 1 aura so far to make it threatening.

That said, nothing in the pack really stands out, in a way that I wouldn't mind taking it.

Angel, I think -- it's hard to remove and evasive to boot.

(and no, giving it shroud won't make any already-attached Auras fall off)

a little early for tricks but explosive growth looks aight and there is nothing else for us. A little shy of branching out into other colors; none of these cards impress me.

Rather weak for us. I don't know how useful this cycle is in the format, but we are in the colors for the Apprentice. Otherwise, Growth is ok.

I know I'm late here but Serpentine Kavu is really good. 4/4 for 5 is pretty strong in the format so if we see another one I think we should pick it up.

For this pack, I would pick Explosive Growth because older limited formats were more based around combat tricks and this is a pretty good one.

Many players stretch their colors in this block, and depriving an opponent of a splash color while fixing your colors is very good.

I like Glimmering Angel or Serpentine Kavu.

Edit: Just noticed that there was another page. My pick for THIS pack would be the Growth. Agree with ben that 4/4 for 5 is super strong (part of why Chamelion Kavu is so good)

Growth

I'll 2nd the Kavu comments. Not all formats are pro-Voltron :)

Spider or Ditch? Think I want the spider.

This pack is deep.

The Galina's Knight isn't bad either, assuming we decide to go into blue. Exotic Curse is also a very strong removal spell in the format. Savage Offense is a combat trick that gives all our guys first strike, and potentially pump them, the kind of card that turns a game around.
Pincer Spider is a 3 mana 2/3 with reach, which isn't anything to scoff at either. It is also in a color we are currently in (the only card in our colors) so I guess it is the pick.

Oh, and those Dijinns are decent, if I remember. Especially the blue one. It has flying
