There's so much flavor in this set, so I'm just wonderin' :)
Mine's a close call between Tireless Tracker and Traverse the Ulvenwald. One grows bigger by playing lands and cantripping, and it's great when you have two of them out. I love the other because topdecking it T10 against UR Aggro and fetching Dragonlord Atarka to clear the board was one of the most satisfying plays I've ever made.
So what are yours?
Oh, and don't mention The Hypnotoad. It's way to good for this thread.

Actually my favorite changed not like 5 minutes ago.
When I realized that New Sigarda seems good with Kytheon, Hero of Akros Flip.

If you don't say Triskadecaphobia, you're lying to yourself.
Personally, I enjoy The Gitrog Monster, Daring Sleuth, Autumnal Gloom, Topplegeist, and From Under the Floorboards.

Rise from the Tides! While playtesting, I repeatedly make 10+ zombies with this thing. The most I've ever gotten has been 16 so far. That's bonkers.

Most excited to play with Insolent Neonate. Really takes Honeyblood. to a playable level.
Otherwise, even though you said no, FROGGY.

Lambholt Pacifist → Lambholt Butcher!
I absolutely love this card. Unassuming but surprisingly powerful. Brilliant design. And pitch-perfect from a flavor standpoint (the flavor text and dove on the back face = yoikes)!
Runner up: Ember-Eye Wolf.
Because while Firebreathing is OK, Dog Breath wins games. :-)

I am going with Pack Guardian. It's like the spirit of a wolf is possessing its remains (like a pseudo-zombie) to protect those it couldn't in life (like the geists).

Geier Reach Bandit and Lambholt Pacifist are my personal favorites.

Jace, Unraveler of Secrets, I mean, it seems like a boring planeswalker but it looks so amazing!

Jace is never bad in my opinion. People hated on Jace, the Living Guildpact but I thought he was a solid 
walker for Standard. I enjoyed using him.
People just get whiny because he isn't as game dominating as the expectations that were set by Jace, the Mind Sculptor or Jace, Memory Adept, and now we have Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Flip to redefine the game. People think any Jace that isn't on par with the power level of these cards is bad. It's rather aggravating.

Arlinn Kord of course because flip PWs are always fun and interesting!

Harness the Storm looks like such a wonderful card for storm lovers, and is definitely my favorite Rare from the set! The coolest Mythic has to be the new Avacyn though, the flavor is just too good to overlook.

The Gitgud Hypnotoad.

Sorin, Solemn Visitor, Diregraf Colossus, and Anguished Unmaking are pretty sweet.
