3/5

I'd like to see more green creatures along these lines -- well costed, but that can actually do interesting things and aren't just large idiots.

Hrm. I think the first ability should definitely be Target Player (Is this even a green ability, though?).

The second ability seems clunky. You get so many things for 3 mana. You should probably make it OR, but make each effect better, and only once per turn. Should be something like You gain 4 life OR Draw two cards (Counsel of the soratami is priced at 2U, and is very fair) OR put a 2/2 Saproling Token into play (Not quite a Call of the herd). You may this ability once each turn.

Also, should the second ability be sorcery speed only?

Oh, 3/5 for 4 seems pretty good. Maybe a 3/4, or give it Defender.

I know "three cards" go nice with the name, but that shouldn't matter that much when desiging a card, so above would be my proposal. It's quite good in standard/Extended, I'd think.

It's too expensive for legacy, but this is really good.  Three mana and a negligible second cost for a card and some life every turn is solid, especially when that card then helps to pay for that second cost.

[Anusien]

That second ability is kind of wordy.  Life gain, card and token?  Narrow the focus down.
