Time to make some changes to the card file. People have brought up issues in the past with all the following cards. Now it's time to see how to fix them or whether they're even salvageable. Please post your vote on each of the cards listed below. If you want to fix a card, please suggest an edit.
Remember: The set comes first, so even if you like a card, if it doesn't help the set it probably shouldn't get in.

It's been mentioned that Lightbearer feels uncommon.
  • Leave it be
  • Up Rarity
  • Rework it

It's been mentioned that Wanderer of Illpyre could have better evasion or a bigger body.
  • Leave it be
  • Rework it

Written Into History Doesn't match the themes of the set.
  • Cut it
  • Leave it be
  • Rework it

Crushthread Sage allows a turn 3 win. In block constructed. In a block without a second set.
I'm not even going to give the option to leave this be.
  • Cut it
  • Rework it

Groveskipper Ouphe presents a lot of memory for a common.
  • Cut it
  • Leave it be
  • Up Rarity
  • Rework it

Moss Giant's shifting P/T seems red.
  • Cut it
  • Leave it be
  • Make it red

Lightbearer - Up rarity

Wanderer of Illpyre - Leave it be

Written Into History - Cut it

Crushthread Sage - Cut it. Use the rusty scissors.

Groveskipper Ouphe - Cut it

Moss Giant - Leave it be
In a core set or something I would make this red, but I think we want our land cards to be firmly green here.

Viashino Suncaller is the broken card in that combo. Have you read what it does? :V

Keep Sage, rework Wanderer, cut the rest.

Okay getting the impression that Crushthread is okay. If you want to direct your hate towards Suncaller I can oblige.

All I see in that link is is an 8 card combo that needs 4 turns.

  • Cut it - I

Wanderer of Illpyre
  • Leave it be - IIIII
  • Rework it - III

Written Into History
  • Cut it - IIIIIII
  • Leave it be - I
  • Rework it

Crushthread Sage
  • Cut it - II
  • Rework it
  • Leave it be - IIIII

Groveskipper Ouphe
  • Cut it - III
  • Leave it be - III
  • Up Rarity
  • Rework it - II

Talk more I guess. If I really had to I'd default to reworking it, but instead let's just use the thread to discuss the problem and see if anybody changes their vote or a new voter chips in.

My two bits- I am not a fan of Groveskipper Ouphe's design. I think it's pretty much mandatory that a set have a mana dork though. My problems with the ouphe are twofold: 1- memory issues. 2- Unimportance of the mastery ability.
To solve #1 the ouph could always tap for :g: or always tap for any color. To solve #2, instead of gaining hexproof just as it becomes irrelevant, it could get a stat boost or go from tapping for :g: to tapping for any colour.

Oh yeah I like the second one.

I change my vote to rework. There's still a tie (a different one), but I really do like the second one you propose more.
