These Billy Mays jokes make me wish we could somehow Jonny up some sort of inane combo with this, Trading Post, Bazaar Trader, and other assorted Billy Mays-flavored cards.
I once made a fan-card call Final Armada, a white sorcery that creates a soldier, a cleric, a knight, and an angel token, but forum readers at the time said it was too complicated.

Hmmm, well, it's ok. I probably wouldn't slap it in each and every GW deck, but in some it makes sense. What comes to mind is: - using abilities to have it enter and leave the battlefield, so that it's ability is triggered more often - using it with certain shapeshifters. Such as having a vesuvan doppelganger enter play as this guy, and have it copy another creature later on. Or Use the shapeshifter from this very set, to create a copy of this guy each turn. - using ability that work well with tokens (doubling season or populate effects)
Still.... seven mana is a huge amount. Without using certain combos, it might not be good enough out of limited.

He will be the long-awaited {W}{U}{R}{G} Legendary creature that allows you to play the Ultimate Group Hug deck ever. Cards for everyone! Life for Everyone! Zedruu in the 99! Collective Voyage! Howling Mine! Even Death by Dragons because who doesn't love being given a Dragon for Christmas? :D

Pretty sure this card is good, considering that it is ten power and four bodies for seven and the only cards I can compare it to in my mind are rares. Selesnya won't be amazing in block, but this card certainly won't be going past me often.

Bronzebeak Moa - we all know selesnya was by far worst guild deck in DotP 2013. Looks like Wizards is giving them plenty of love in Dragons Maze. Boros and Selesnya IMO best 2 guilds from Dragons Maze. Not hard to mess around and mix both together in a deck. especially with cards like this that make triggering Battalion easier

AAAAAAAND, for a limited time, we're offering for the low low low LOW installment of price of 1, and a second installment of 5, you can make a Cackling Counterpart and triple your creatures, and not even triple the price. Order now! Operators are standing by.
Cathars' Crusade 5/5 6/6 with vigilance 7/7 and an 8/8 trampling rhino. I don't think that the counters count towards their toughness for the purposes of Trostani. Can somebody confirm or deny this? If it does Magical Xmas land combo gives you 26 life too.I still think her mana cost is too high for Competitive play but this will be a finisher for casual games! :-)

Combine Trojstani's Summoner with Parallel Lives - gain double the fun... and it does not end here. Combine the previous card combo with Progenitor Mimic and let the token festival start ;D Now you all might say: " what about board whipe?" - my answer to that is our best friend Rootborn Defenses I have never felt more satisfaction compared to when a friend of mine tried to whipe the board and I dropped this baby of a card.. say hello to my army of rhinos, centaurs and knights.. ohh and thank you pal for clearing out the board for me! :D gg wp.
As a bonus info.. this deck would play as G, W, U so ramping up to seven mana should be relatively easy in a casual multiplayer deck.. In standard the combo would work yet getting to the point with it actually start to kick in might be impossible against aggressive decks unless one builds heavy around early defense. Have fun everyone!

So how would this work with Evolve? Elusive Krasis 0/4 She comes in as a 1/1: Evolve. Then puts a 2/2 3/3 4/4 So would all four creatures Evolve Elusive?

@Jdepp: Yes, they would.
I believe they all trigger the evolve at the same time, so he gets four counters.

I would never play this card. That being said, OH MY GOD SO GOOD FOR IT'S CMC! In a Seles deck, this card puts you so far ahead, but really, on turn 7, you probably have more to do, and this girl's going to sit dead in your hand for a LONG time

To anyone who thinks she is better than emmara tandris it depends on how you are playing both cards. Emmara is great if you have a way to protect her. For example, I run her in a Selesnya based Commander deck (not as commander), and as soon as she comes out I put whispersilk cloak on her. I personally feel like, unless you run conjurer's closet with the summoner, she is a waste. But that may be just me. **shrugs**

I know that it's tempting to look at this as a 10/10 for 7CMC, but you've also got to remember that this is the Selesnya guild we're talking about. Gaining four creatures off of one card is a huge deal.
Not only does this lady provide you with four bodies to stack an Overrun across, she also allows you to boost cards like Wayfaring Temple very quickly. Any kind of a crowd-based effect is going to adore the summoner, assuming you have some way to gather the mana up to play her.
Believe it or not, I actually prefer Urbis Protector, but that might just be the flavour of the card getting to me.

I love the pure conflict of this card. First off, the value is fantastic - but is it something you can afford? Its rare to see such value bat higher casting costs, especially while still being fairly underwhelming. Second, she has a hard time working out well. She's in selesnya, which loves lots of creatures, but that's also her biggest downfall. She tries too much Three centaur or two rhino would have flowed much better with populate which only hits one token type and prefers a single powerful token like Grove of the Guardian. Your goal isn't as many token types as possible, just one you wanta bunch of. On top of that, none of them are really supported types - centaurs got some theros love, but ehh? Being an elf herself isn't even that big of an asset.
Its such a neat card, bit its funny how well made it is
