Llanowar Elves

Forest, Llanowar Elves, go. Draw, Forest, Food Chain, win.

Amazing and terrific don't come close to describing this card. You drop a forest and lay this baby down. 2 mana on turn one pretty much. Do that just once more and it's 4 mana on turn 2! Now imagine what you could do with all that. Oh, and "Magic Masta" the reason why people love this card is because of one thing: SPEED!! IT GETS CARDS OUT FAST. AS IN QUICKLY, SO YOU CAN BEAT YOUR OPPONENT !!! Hope that cleared things up. :/

This card is great. The possibility of 3 mana on second turn is awesome. Want more than 4 in one deck, add Llanowar Mentor.

One green mana for a forest and a 1/1?!?!?!


It isn't quite as good as Utopia Tree or Birds Of Paradise but it's still good

amazing amazing every green beatdown needs this

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.

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!

Looks like Magic Masta from Magic City isn't such a "Masta" after all. Llanowar Elves are hot.

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!!! LOL

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!

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.

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.

Birds of paradise is 10 times better and 10 times more expensive. I think your average casual player will stick with this.

The second best creature-based mana accelerator in type two, behind the Birds.

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.........

a few people's reviews seem to think you can get the mana out as soon as u bring this elf out. It still has summoning sickness until it sees an upkeep on your battlefield (so no tapping, even for mana). even with all four of these and 3 mana in your first hand you will still only have 1 mana first turn, but u can have 3 mana on your second turn. 2nd turn you would be able to put out the other three llanawar. third turn, you have 3 lands and four llanowar elves = 7 mana. but good luck getting all 4 of these and 3 forests in your first hand out of a min 40 cards. if you want these in your deck, you probably want greenweaver druid as well, pay 3 for a 1/1 elf druid that taps to give you 2 green mana.

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
