It basically has support 2, which was usually worse than it read, since you don't always have the luxus of having 3 creatures. Not being able to target itself is a huge bummer.
Is it possible the frame is weird because it is a Planeswalker Deck card? The creatures in those tended to be formated as ABC's XYZ. But with the whirlwind of "innovation" they've been doing I don't even know if PW Decks exist anymore lol

Llanowar Visionary is an easy staple. A green Phyrexian Rager, that doesn't have a downside, but instead a relevant upside. This feels super pushed, but not much more than Cloudkin Seer probably. Maybe we get a full cycle of good cmc 3 draw a card with each new core set.
Hello power creep... For a long time it's been an interesting decision which of the green value 3 drops was the best out of Civic Wayfinder, Borderland Ranger, Tishana's Wayfinder, etc. But BOOM! F.I.R.E. has you covered with that new one that trumps all of them by a mile. Except this one also trumps pretty much all existing 3 drops across all colors. Exciting stuff.

I think green deserved it more than any other color. I mean it's supposed to be the color with the best creatures, which simply wasn't the case in the last years.

With your state of mind you might want to run an old border only cube lol.
Card is good, but the better value creature is Byway Courier imo. Itll replace wayfinders though. Overall Cloudkin Seer is the best.
For years we are saying ramp comes with a too high cost of card disadvantage. So its a clever trick to not only cantrip the fatty but the ramp as well.
Now i want a cultivate with cycling

Funny that you say that, because thats what I'm planning to cut for the visionary. You get the extra card immediately, for a cheaper cost, then still have a body/ramper. Lets also take into acount that the effect is ETB so it can be bounced/flickered. And the fact that Courier has to die means any aura based removal or exiling effects make it miss the clue.
the abilify is quite nice even in the lategame and the body can attack into green. Its still so chunky, i think i prefer the riverwinder. Replaces giant if you run both (which i recentlx cut)
Basri's Acolyte - Seemed good. Lifelink matters quite a bit in a few match ups and with the "support 2" makes body dense decks race well. Chandra's Magmut - Alright. 2/2's for 2 in red isn't as good as it used to be. The tap ability means it is never useless, so may be worth thinking about. Cultivate - Reprint Faith's Fetters - Reprint. This has always preformed well. Llanowar Visionary - Strictly better than Shaman of Spring and is comparable to Borderland Ranger although is significantly better in my opinion. Mystic Skyfish - Weaker than available 3 drops and suffers from a lack of consistency. Pridemalkin - Not really looking for the trample and the body is too small. +1/+1 counter synergies are a bit thin currently. Rewind - Reprint Spined Megalodon - It's a big control finisher. Hexproof means it is well worth considering. Spirit of Malevolence - Forgettable. Spirit typing isn't relevant either. I don't think soulshift is making a comeback anytime soon. Storm Caller - The body is meh, and the damage is ehh. This is not anywhere near Blightning in terms of efficiency, but it would be playable for lack of a better 3 drop. Teferi's Prodigy - The loot costs mana so not a fan. Village Rites - Looks like a strictly better Altar's Reap. Not entirely sure if it is common yet. Woodland Patrol - 4/2 trample for 3 is ok. Though I prefer Steeple Creeper for the occasional flying.

There's no word in the goblin language for "strategy." Then again, there's no word in the goblin language for "word."
"Dozing Tyrannosaurus" 1G
Creature - Dinosaur
Defender
As long as you control a creature with power 4 or greater, Dozing Tyrannosaur can attack as though it didn't have defender.
3/3
Seems like a pretty easy autoinclude, 3/3 for 2 is beefy and the drawback is negligible in Green.
4 power for 4 aint bad and lifelink is always a treat.
What is this frame though?

Hm appearently not, but the support stuff was overcosted
Id argue white should always have two bodies or uve lost anyway.
powpercube Johnny https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/37t
Looks like an enchantment creature. Bad choice. But more frames seems wotcs innovation concept attempt rn
powpercube Johnny https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/37t
its speculated it could be a jumpstart "reprint"
powpercube Johnny https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/37t
I actually like the buffed toughness for the activation cost
powpercube Johnny https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/37t
4/2 trample for 3 is very aggressive and activates ferocious

Weird flavor and an effect we already got. So not very high on this

As an addition cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature.
Draw two cards.
Slight upgrade to Altar's Reap, thats it. Doubt it pushes the card to cubable
powpercube Johnny https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/37t
Wouldnt mind this as reds standard frame. Card is super uninteresting sadly
