    If you go to buy it, you can see what the cards are before you confirm.

    The better question is if the cards actually work or not

    vona hunger (rare) tendershoot dryad (mythic) kumena's awakening (rare)
    vona is a wonky over priced kill spell
    tendershoot is a 5/5 that drops a saproling token each turn 2 is ascended
    kumena is a support that allos you to draw 2 cards a turn 3 if ascended

    I would pay about $5 for the bundle, so they overshot me by $15. When would you want to play tendershoot? Surely with only three creature slots on the battlefield available, having this eat up two of them is worse than dozens of other options?

    Not being able to find an obvious home for tendershoot is why I didn't buy this bundle.

    Vona’s Hunger is crazy good. I pulled it in a pack (3 copies in one premium pack.. just to prove dupe rates were not fixed). Either way, the card works and it is amazing!!

    since it seems they upped the cost of vraskas contempt i may have to try it and find out at 7 it was workable at 9 with no baral makes it harder to justify

    Vona's Hunger seems pretty good, kill 2 for a reasonable price.

    Tendershoot will work pretty well in several decks, since its basically like a TSN once you get the blessing (note it says at the start of EACH turn, not of yours).  Its also good for blocking, since it basically heals the damage.

    Kumena seems like a poor man's Fevered Visions, but not bad overall.

    (it should be noted I do not have any of these cards, this is purely theoretical rambling)

    I think tendershoot will pair nicely with Path of Descovery and Other explore creatures like Emperor's Vanguard and Wildgrowth Walker

    I am loving Tendershoot. It grows faster than Haptara. Very easy to get the 2 plants a turn with Garuk. And yes, the saplings are each turn.

    BTW is it an Exclusive? Before I got it I was trying to see its description by looking in the RIX cards but couldn't find it.

    Not to mention that the kill spell isn't targeted, meaning Vona's Hunger will kill hexproof creatures. That already makes it worth the extra mana and not being able to target in my book. Been playing it since I got it and only once have I had it whiff on me where there was a big creature in slot one I wanted to kill, but I had the city's blessing so it killed the two little guys in slots two and three instead. But even that considered, it's a pretty great card.

    never gave the untargeted part of the card a glance, does make it a more valuable since hexproof cards are being used more. some times you just need a cheap kill spell. lol
