Aragorn and Arwen can put counters on all your creatures and gain life, a classic Selesnya go-wide strategy
Some Starter Deck products had slightly more powerful decklists because they were a single deck for around the same price
If Animar already got a couple of counters you got a 2/2 guy swimming around for only who lets you draw 2 cards (guys, this is almost comparable with the value of Ancestral Recall!!!)
Thanks to relatively newer cards like Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, Eladamri has gotten even better over the past few years
