Greenwarden of Murasa isn’t at first glance the most exciting mythic rare from Battle for Zendikar. But essentially having two Eternal Witnesses or Den Protectors on one card with a 5/4 body has to count for something, right? The power of Eternal Witness and Den Protector is well known in competitive play, as getting back any card from your graveyard to your hand is really really good. Even though you have to exile him to get the definite two-for-one advantage, it’s probably worth it. 6 mana is probably nothing in a format with Eldrazi, so this should see some Standard play.
The Greenwarden is even better in Commander where the singleton format makes Regrowth type (getting any card back from the yard to your hand) effects even better. It’s likely that you will see this in most green ramp decks going forward. It’s better that Deadwood Treefolk, which also costs 6 mana (5G) but only gets creatures, plus you don’t have to deal with the pesky Vanishing 3. It’s definitely a worthy upgrade unless you’re playing a Treefolk Tribal deck (which is fairly decent, actually.)
