Nearly every card in Time Spiral block was a throwback to at least one previously printed card.
This card references Pendelhaven, a once-lush forest of legend. Jacques le Vert was the original protector and elder of the woods.

Regarding card design and flavour a great counterpart to the original land.
Regarding the card itself, the effect includes herself, which makes this card also useful as solid 2/3 blocker.

@Master-Crimson..
+1/+1 counters and +1/+1 effects do change the actual p/t of the creature. i.e. you could NOT thrive a bunch of counters onto your elves, and THEN give them all +1/+2. At resolution of the elder's ability, it checks the total p/t of each creature. What is printed on the card makes no difference at all.
But I still love the card :D, works well with the saproling deck in comes in.

@Gezus82: Lets see... When a 1/1 got a +1/+1 counter on it, its a 2/2.
1/1 not equal to 2/2.

Put it in a token deck. Durrrr? A lot of cards are useless in the wrong deck.

ok, so here is my question:
tap this card for the ability
the ability resolves.
an elvish champion enters play
Do you have a 2/2 elder? or do you have a 3/4 elder?
the wording seems a bit vague here.

A 1/1 is still a 1/1, no matter how big it gets. As long as 1/1 is the number printed on the card (or the number that something like Godhead of Awe makes the numbers be), it stays a 1/1. You can put as many +1/+1 counters, as many Pendelhaven Elder boosts as you like, it'll still be a 1/1.

Useless card. Played this several times and it's still useless. Ugly to boot
