Nice beater to play with Green Sun's Zenith if you aren't partial to paying 110 bucks for each Goyf.

Try 'em with a second-turn free Vine Dryad or Bounty of the Hunt.

I loved the reaction I got when I first played this card.

"...and I'm casting Talara's Battalion. It's a 4/3 trample for 2."

"Wait, what? Let me see that... Oh, that's fair."

I love how ridiculous elves can be.

@Vinifera7:
I believe he was referring to the fact that land grant is conditionally free and can be dropped second turn in addition to this card which can only be played if you played a green spell in the same turn which you play this card and Land Grant is green so it meets the condition very well. That will work. Think. And learn.

The best free spells for this would be Manamorphose or Land Grant. They're free both in terms of mana and card advantage, thought Land Grant might be tricky to build around. This also fits right in after an Insist.

Also, Basking Rootwalla with Wild Mongrel out.

@WeAreTheFury:
Playing a forest is not the same as casting a green spell. That will not work.

Re: Oh, Land Grant. I guess capitalization and auto-carding helps.

@InHarmsWay- Yes, since BBE is a green spell, this will count as your second green spell. Also, I love using this with Wren's Run Vanquisher. Play the vanquisher, reveal battalion, then play battalion. 7 points of power on turn 4, and that's not even with all the other things elves can do.

Cause it's so hard for elves to play two spells in one turn.... Still the most broken tribe. Still!
