Sakura-Tribe Elder

Royston didn't know what he was talking about - Sakura-Tribe Elder is probably the best land searcher ever printed: it's a 1/1 creature with Rampant Growth stuck to it! You get to block any creature, and then you can sacrifice the Elder in response to the damage step and get a land while preventing the combat damage of an attacker - sweet.

simply a staple. every green deck should have 4. it would outmode the ramped growth if they were easier to get.

very, very, very good common two mana mana fetcher

One of the best commons in the block for the Green mage. Mana Acceleration is key to bring out the bigg stompies.

This card is one of the top 10 common cards in standard for a reason. It is a creature fetch land, for 2 measly mana. You can sac it at random, or block sac and get a land. Thinning your library of land concentrates spells, increasing the chance of getting the deck's combo. Combine this card with kodama's reach, and there you go, all the mana a deck should need.

Not too shabby. Certainly a must-have against this season's extended deck-to-beat: Dredge. Having one of these in play will give you a quick and easy way to kill that pesky Bridge from Below. Very, very useful. And, as always, you can sac it after putting combat damage on the stack to kill an attacking/blocking creature, and still fetch a land.

bad,very bad...
