Foil birds. When I first heard about this, I was like omg i got to get me 4 of these. However, I dont buy 7th packs very often I probably wont get one in a while. I met this one guy who had 5 of them. FIVE. He's pretty hardcore though. 7th had been out for only three days and he and two other people had already gone through like 27 boxes. Thats crazy.

It´s one of the best cards of all in multicolored decks. In the fire deck it's a success. I hope to see more decks with this beautiful baby.

This card can be an asset in multi-color decks (a great one at that), or it can get you hellish cards in trades.

Great mana, great 0/1 flying blocker if attacked, for the price of mana 1 green! Very nice...

This is card has found its way into all most every multicolor beatdown there is. Its acceleration is amazing. If you play agressive, you have 4 of these.

Anything below 5 stars is disgusting for this card. This quite possibly is the best card ever made for green. In every dual colored deck splashing green has 4, 90% of green decks have it as well, it's mana producing ability is rivaled only by the infamous moxes, nothing else. It allows for a turn two ball lightning or a 3rd turn spiritmonger. It goes well with any color and can also be used as a useful blocker or even attacker due to its flying ability.

one of the best cards ever produced! But only if it could be like a 0/5 so it won't get wiped out so easily!?!?!?!?

this card is absolutely terrific, one of my favorites of all magic cards. it allows you a terrific amount of extra mana and flexibility especially early game so you can get going fast.

I've got 6 of these. Imagine the power and the possibilities.

I can't even describe how useful and how absolutely awesome this card is. With a casting cost of 1 green mana, it gives you a mana of any color. Put 4 of these in your deck and you can play a great multicolor deck too.

This card is so sweet. Great acceleration. Perfect in multi-color decks. The only problem I see is that it is a 0/1. A shock could take it out. Other than that this is one of the all-time greatest cards that Magic has to offer.

birds of paradise is one of the best mana sources that ever existed in magic because with only one mana you can have one free and of any color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amazingly great card that has unlimited potential. Almost any two to three color deck should have this card because it has unlimited potential and that I this is one of my all time favorite cards.

What a beautiful bird!! If you have one of this on your first hand imagine what you can do... a troll ascetic on turn two or maybe an exalted angel on turn three... maybe a combo empyrial plate-bird of paradise... or equipped with a sword... like I said, imagine what you can do

One of the best 1 drop green creatures ever created.
-- By Tourach from Long Island NY on July 02, 2004 |

It is good, but can be killed too easily. A Terror or Ghastly Demise would take it out easily, other than that it is a good card, especially in my multi deck. I want more, I have 2.

This has got to be one of the most usless cards of all time! it is only a o/1 with flying. you only need 3 mana to play darksteel ingot . not to mention that it would be usless in a birds deck since it is the only green bird i,ve seen.

great with bonesplitter. just kidding. mana acceleration ftw.
can you imagine that this is supposed to be a flower? props to the original artist for having his art change the text even if he didn't do his research!

This card is a must-have for any player who plays green. If you play two or more colors including green, then you would be a fool not already have your playset in the deck. Moreover, if you buy it you won't lose your money even if you stop playing it since it is one of the most wanted cards in the Magic world.

Birds of Paradise is without a question one of the best MTG cards out there!! Just think of the possibilities. Any multicolor deck containing green should have this in it. Great for most decks, and has a high trade value as well! 5 stars!

Some interesting facts:
When Mark Poole Presented this art for the Dual Land Tropical Island Richard Garfield saw it and he thought the birds were too prominent and he designed Birds of Paradise using this art.
Maybe this is why Mark Poole is incorrectly listed as the Artist for Tropical Island instead of the actual artist Jesper Myrfors...
Also check out the misprint " // " in the alpha birds. Wow that is messed up!!
Gotta Love Alpha :-D.

Many people at first (me included) could not see the value of this card. Sure it seems efficient, but it cannot be that powerful. Try playing with or against it. Any color mana acceleration with a potential chump blocking ability at that cost is invaluable. Think: first turn Birds, second turn overgrowth, third turn any creature with a mana cost of 6. Keep that up, and there are very few decks that can keep up with that kind of speed. Elves are kind of the same thing, but a lack of flying, and a restriction to green make them not as good, though admittadly they are commons. This card does not look as spectacular as some other cards, but it can be more useful than you might think.

not only is this possably the best one mana manafix in the game, but it is a green flyer. green is the color of pump, seriously. ell, strap the loxi hamer i know your running and see what happens. i know you want to.
-- By zimmer from interlached, fl usa on May 19, 2008 |

i know right zimmer?!?! I don't really run many flying creatures, and I've gotten beaten way too many times by a Birds of Paradise with Loxodon Warhammer. plus theyre great mana accel and mana fixing...very awesome!!
