Im a big fan of Modern, and Ive always followed the fringes of the format for new decks
Each Scene Box comes with three Play Boosters
Balthier and Fran Your vees are pumped in size by +1/+1 and then get reach too and vigilance - nasty combo since you can swing, stay untapped and then block anything, like Serra Angel et all
Populate doesn't target the creature token you're copying
Phyrexian Seedling Phyrexian Seedlings proliferatelink could easily get out of hand very quickly
It does get a little better with Rat tokens, but Id still steer clear of it most of the time Giving up food to hurt your opponent can definitely have a place, and even be a win condition, and the base line of the card as a three mana 3/2 that makes a food isnt a disaster Even without the enchantment part, youd always play it in your black decks
