This is an example of the stupid designers in the dawn of magic. Some cards they made, such as Blaze of Glory, were quite overpowered yet they made cards such as this as well. The day this goes in my green deck is the day I die. Much rather use the new buffed up wirewood elf with a improved toughness addage, 'nuff said? -- By Magic Masta from Magic City on January 13, 2003 |

This is a great green card...If you play green and want to have a fast deck you need this. One mana for a 1/1 green creature that gives you one mana...2 mana first turn great deal. -- By K to tha P from Oxford,MS on June 03, 2003 |

If you dont understand the power of the OG elf, than your lost, first turn elf has won me millions of games. Every green deck has 4 of these in them, same since the beginning. -- By David from oceanside CA USA on January 18, 2004 |

haha a 1!? Are you mad? This card is at least 4! The best green mana accelerator after BoP! A must in almost all green decks! -- By Anonymous from Amsterdam, Netherlands on February 27, 2004 |

good old mana ramp how i luv thee. what more can one say? i use with 'gaea's cradle' , 'fyndhorn elves', and 'wall of blossoms' for complete satisfaction. throw a few artifacts in for green's traditional weaknesses and stir and voila! kicking butt deck! a word of caution, the seventh edition version of this card can't hold a candle to this golden classic. so quit looking and pick up one or four......... -- By Anonymous from gainesville, FL USA on February 03, 2005 |

I would love to play a casual game against "Magic Masta" using my favorite r/g fires deck...those 4 weak little llanowar elves (with the help from even weaker birds) helping bring out fires on turn 2 and blastoderm or phantom centaur turn 3, followed up with the burst!!!

Looks like Magic Masta from Magic City isn't such a "Masta" after all. Llanowar Elves are hot. -- By Maxx from Kentucky on December 12, 2005 |

My best friend says that elves multiply like rabbits. they do!! any way get 4 of the llanowar elves in your first hand and you have 4 creatures on the field. nice! -- By Daniel Jones from R.A.F. Lakenheath, american military overseas on May 29, 2006 |

Both would die to shock, and that extra land you spend to get out wirewood elf, makes it a turn two, and not a turn one drop, basically means you are one land ahead, one turn later, the key is speed. -- By Moot from Wisconsin on May 16, 2007 |

The second best creature-based mana accelerator in type two, behind the Birds. -- By Andrew from Missouri on October 16, 2007 |

I know that everyone is gonna hate me for this, but Birds of Paradise is a million times better, it adds any color mana to your pool, it costs the same, and it has flying (yes it's a 0/1 but a G/W deck will have Loxoddon Warhammers to attach to them) and it's just better, bet Elves is the second best :D -- By Greg Johnston from Atlanta, GA USA on July 09, 2008 |

oi Magic Masta, ive been playin dis game way longer, io know every combo. rating this card 1 star is like calling sol ring crap aswell, this card is like land, but u can start with 3 mana on ur 3rd turn, this creeature annoys ur opponents 4 a reason, if ur versin red, u waste their burns, n same with black destroy, it can make u win the game in 3 extra turns if u start with this card on ur first turn. -- By Steve from Melbz on October 06, 2008 |
