What makes this card so ridiculously unfair that most people overlook, and is something not seen on many cards before lorwyn, is that it doesn't say "tap this card and 2 elves" and have a tap symbol. Rather it gives you the option to tap 3 elves, meaning summoning sickness rules don't apply. So, for example, if you have many elves that all cost only 1 mana or are reduced in mana cost by a banneret creature, you can basically empty your hand into play the minute you play her. First turn, llanowar elf, second turn elvish visionary, third turn heritage druid, use extra 4 mana from two mana producing creatures and lands to cast more elves, tap all elves to cast further elves, which also tap, and cast the rest of the elves you have. Once saw someone drop 10 elves on turn 4 with it. These rules also hold true for merfolk decks, they don't actually have to tap such as when they are attacking, they can tap anytime; and enchantments that say merfolk on them count as merfolk, this is also t... (see all)

So is this a mana ability?

@Tunklebunkle:
Sure, it's a mana ability - it's an activated ability that generates mana, doesn't target, and it's not a planeswalker loyalty ability.

All you need is Heritage Druid + Glimpse of Nature + Nettle Sentinel or any other elf

Basically turns everything into a llanowar elf. Whats "broken" it also effectively gives them haste as well.

I think the ghosts are Elvish Spirit Guides.
Fyndhorn, Llanowar, Skyshroud, Quiron, Mul-Daya, Gilt-Leaf...all elves produce mana as part of the array of tribal abilities. Part of their heritage, or elvish legacy, is mana bonds. The ancestors show the heritage Druid (who acts as a medium of ancient knowledge) and shows those of her blood how to use innate abilities.
Consider this: Radha, Heir to Keld is an elf, but NOT a Druid, yet can still show how the bloodline allows mana bonds to be a tribal ability and not just an occupational one.
