Ancestral Recall, Black Lotus, Mox Emerald, Mox Jet, Mox Pearl, Mox Ruby, Mox Sapphire, Timetwister & Time Walk make up the Power Nine.  Additionally Dual Lands, Birds of Paradise, Serra Angel, Sol Ring & many other notable cards are found throughout the set.

It's a 2/1 with first for 2 mana, and it's green, and it's an elf.

So all of you before me, you lose at reviewing.

Elves are flexible, green is a buffing color.

Elves became amazing with the onslaught block.

Now, there's a 2/1 first strike, for two mana, and it's an elf.

Fantastic card. Even without other other cards improving it, or a simple giant growth, still a fantastic card.

A cheap green creature with first strike is a pretty nice deal, though it's nothing special. I suspect it's only a rare because first strike is so out-of-color for green that they didn't want people getting too many of them. Anyway, it's not a card to build a deck around, but it's not junk either.

Not bad, but this should not be a rare card. And did anyone notice the flavor text on the 3rd and 4th Edition cards borrowed a quote, "Then we will fight in the shade." Lol.

Not a bad card combined with wirewood prides and such with the first strike but costing 2 makes it loose a bit and I agree it is not of rare calibur but then again back in the earlier sets this was pretty good

Nice card for a weenie deck. The first strike is nice, and the cheap casting cost.
