Rescue is a great card, why is it still here?

Not crazy about Rescue, but it's all that's in our colors.

I might argue that the Swindler isn't as good as the rescue, but it would be if you're going into black. So, actually looking at the other picks I can see how resuce is still here. That said,
Dramatic Resuce is still a fantastic card and absolute great to get this late.
Tolkein was a jerk. Seriously, what DM sends 9 Wraith Lords at a Lvl 2 party of Halflings.
The only 'correct' way to play D&D is by whatever method is making the group you have at that session, have the most fun.

Keening Apparition  and Rootborn Defenses  make me think Selesnya players. Aerial Predation  could also be Selesnya, but it could also be Golgari I guess. The possibility of three othere Selesnya drafters is kinda scary. Whelp!

I've never liked Rescue style cards, but it's clearly the pick here.

Dramatic Rescue can be pretty nice, especially with all the detain that Azorius has. Mid-game, if you drop a Justiciar on two creatures and then bounce a third one with DR, you can swing in without little fear of a counterstrike. It also works nice if you're splashing it into Selesnya with its tramplers to knock through a little extra damage. Finally, as I've seen noted before, bounce is removal against tokens. If you can bounce a solitary token in response to a populate card, you're nearly getting two-for-one.
