[BNG] Spoiler: Archetype of Endurance, Raised by Wolves, and Reap What is Sown

MTGCommander has just provided us with "Archetype of Endurance", green's enchantment creature in the "archetype" cycle which means that there will be one for each color. There is already Archetype of Imagination for blue. Moreover, while it seems good that your creatures cannot be targeted by the spells of your opponents, it also sucks if you want to power up your creatures because you also won't be able to use it on them. I'm not even sure if it's a good thing that your opponent has no hexproof on his/her creatures in play, especially if it's a heroic deck. In addition, it costs 6GG for a 6/5 that doesn't even have trample or something similar.

The next card, Raised by Wolves, was provided by LoadingReadyRun and is a pretty fun card to use. It costs 3GG, and you get two 2/2 green Wolf creature tokens, aside from ideally giving the enchanted creature at +2/+2. It might seem like too much, but it is easy to accumulate five mana using a green mana ramp deck. A 1/1 elf or something that produces mana can then be a 3/3 with two accompanying wolves, dealing three damage on that turn and ideally having the opponent lose seven life points during your next turn. In addition, having two Raised by Wolves in play would mean that the enchanted creatures gets +4/+4. Sweet.

Finally, ChannelFireball posted Reap What is Sown, which is essentially the brother of Common Bond and is a counter version of Ravnica: The City of Guild's Seeds of Strength. It's an instant card that costs 1GW, which means that you could use it to power up your creatures to effectively block attackers. Moreover, it triggers the heroic ability of up to three creatures. It is a really good uncommon, and Born of the Gods seems to be full of them.
