Aside from cards already talked about, two of them stand out for me that no one has brought up:
Woodland Champion. There's enough token generation on curve to make this a green Ajani's Pridemate. T2 Woodland, T3 Spectral Procession, Seasoned Pyromancer or all-in Devastating Summons + a 2cmc token creator. That puts on a lot of pressure on board, letting you go wide and tall at the same time. Woodland is a totally fair but unassumingly strong card.
Dread Presence. Whenever a swamp etb, choose one: draw 1 and lose 1 life or 2 dmg to ANY target and gain 2 life. Really, any target? So, I can kill planeswalkers and clear the board with swamps. There's a lot of strong land ramp in modern, enough to turn Dread into a draw engine to draw more ramp then kill your opponent.
Yep, the efficiency and speed of Elvish Reclaimer in BGx / BGW with sufficient fetch lands could be real. Any of those utility lands that Knight of the Reliquary could fetch can now be done 2 turns earlier!
Say, T1 Elvish T2 Bojuka Bog against dredge. Or green Mother with Sejiri Steppe. T3 1cmc EE with Blast Zone. This toolbox flexibility seems great.
I'm thinking Kaalia, Zenith Seeker could be useful in Changeling tribal. "You may reveal an Angel card, a Demon card, AND/or a Dragon card" so potentially netting up to 3 cards such as Nameless Inversion, Crib Swap and Restoration Angel to flicker Kaalia for more value (Kaalia is weirdly not an Angel).
