Obviously designed as a heroic enabler. Interesting to see Curiosity moving to blue. Kind of like Skulking Ghost -> Gossamer Phantasm, Keen Sense has led the way.

This is quite incredible.

Just attack with some Saproling horde, opponent blocks most of them, then cast this on two that get through.

Sure, it's all situational, but this is like a midi Ancestral Recall in green!

I think they managed to get the flavor of a green curiosity right. It triggers heroic on two creatures (green sense of community) and only lasts a turn (natural bounty flowering) Nice job Wizards!

I specifically think Fabled hero might appreciate warrior's lessons.

Ohran Viper came before Keen Sense. Curiosity effects are just secondary in green.

No blocks, I see. Big mistake.

Goshdarn fine Heroic enabler. Why yes, I would like a smattering of triggers and card draw, thank you very much!

Two cards for one mana? And at uncommon? Nice!

Green Divination for {G}, if you know what you're doing. Very powerful, kicks in quickly with the help of Gruul aggro tactics.

As far as standard goes, this card used with Armed // Dangerous and/or Ghor-Clan Rampager can end up being better than ancestral recall if you are attacking with another creature that isn't being blocked.

If this card is used on a creature with double strike, such as Fabled Hero, the creature with double strike will net you two cards.

So if you use this on two creatures with double strike, and they make it through, you will draw four cards.

Dauntless Onslaught could have been green (see Symbiosis), but Warriors' Lesson is the the only one of the cycle that couldn't have been white.

Somehow this card reminds me of Thoughtcast in Mirrodin block affinity. Indeed, if you can make a bunch of Frogmites on turn one, this is pretty much Thoughtcast. Which, by the way, is halfway between Reach Through Mists and Ancestral Recall.

In current Standard, I'm not sure about this. Domri Rade is usually more consistent card drawing if you're creature-heavy, since this doesn't help you when you're behind - the worst feeling is to draw two of these and have every one of your creatures killed. The key is to hit them (and draw cards) fast enough, that is, before they have everything under control. In a Heroic deck, however, this could be pretty good, since one trigger from Phalanx Leader or Agent of the Fates can already have a pretty big effect.

Does Warriors' Lesson stack with Bident of Thassa? Effectively doubling my card draw?

{G} Draw 2 cards. Only Play this after you 2nd turn.

I seriously think people overvalue a card that only serves to let you draw two cards, especially given how situational it is. In a green token deck where you have more wimps swinging in than they can feasibly block, this card speeds up your deck by one card. In almost any other green deck, I'd rather have almost any other one-cost green instant.

The Divination of agro decks.

At instant speed. And way cheaper.

This card is awesome, great heroic trigger, and pretty good in limited.
