And for those who can't be bothered to click the link:

There are two versions of the collection: Regular and Premium, Premium is exclusive to WPN stores. Only difference is that premium is all foil.

The collection contains eight cards, only six of which are green, the other two are colorless.

They will both be available on December 8th.

The cards are:
The art for the two colorless cards (Command Tower and Sol Ring) are on theme. I.e. Nature.

All cards have new art.

All cards except Freyalise and Sylvan Library have flavor text.
Numquam evolutioni obstes. Solum conculceris.

Pascite draconem, evolvite aut morimini.

Command Tower and Sol Ring both seem like odd inclusions, given that they aren't, well, green. Not bad, but....
Other than that, these all seem like reasonable inclusions. A legendary creature, a legendary noncreature, and four staples. I won't necessarily say that Seedborn Muse and Bane of Progress needed reprints that desperately (since they were already reprinted semi-recently), but Worldly Tutor and Sylvan Library definitely did. All-in-all, I could see this serving as a decent core for many green decks.

...I will have concerns re: availability though. Not clear if this is a print-to-demand product, or a more exclusive one like From the Vault was in the past, in which case it will be fairly difficult to get these.

I think it will be closer to the Spellbook series than FtV. The foil versions will be limited in number though.

Depending on the cost, I might get it. I already have all the cards (well, except Omnarth), but love the art for the Sol Ring, Command Tower, and Seedborn Muse. And I could always use an additional Sylvan Library and Tutor.

All in all, nice reprints, but I just don't understand why they included Sol Ring and Command Tower. They make no sense (they aren't green) and were not needed for a reprint anytime soon, given the fact they are in every commander precon.

It sounds like the plan is to cycle them out in these various products, making it so there's a color specific (in art/flavor text, if not in game) command tower and sol ring for each color.

Perhaps, but if so, why not include those 2 cards in addition to the other 8 colored cards? As a bonus?

Anyhow, it's a pass for me regardless.

Because then presumably someone would be asking "why not include those 2 cards in addition to the other 10 colored cards?" It's a natural thought, but there's not really a way they could present it that would have circumvented that issue, so they have to rely on the whole package being intriguing enough for players. Obviously, it is for some of them. It's not enough for you, but that's okay.

Still would've been nice If Concordant Crossroads and Craterhoof Behemoth made the cut. The reason why I don't think Craterhoof Behemoth has dropped in price yet is due to supply issues with Jumpstart since not a lot of Local Game Stores (LGSs) were able to get any of the product in with the pandemic going on. At least reprint Food Chain for cEDH players.

Yes I do prefer Adam Rex's work for Seedborn Muse over Forrest Iwel's new artwork. Also like the homage to Reki, the History of Kamigawa and Yisan, the Wanderer Bard for both Sylvan Library and Worldly Tutor. Seems like Wizards of the Coast has scrapped the bottom of the barrel in terms of expensive non-Reserve List Green cards.

There is one they could have reprinted but chose not to, but it *is* pretty similar to Sylvan Library. It's Mirri's Guile.

I think this looks pretty awesome. I just hope it's not crazy expensive. I was also 100% certain that the art with Yisan on it was going to be Chord of Calling.
