Since my first ever self-built deck was goblins, I cried when I saw this card... Bring some love back to red, WotC. The goblins could use it.

Tribes are for people who don't like to think much about deck construction before playing a deck that can do well.
Slivers and (tribal) elves probably did a good job of doing away with a lot of players who played and enjoyed Magic prior to Tempest.
It's one thing to play with 3 or 4 Llanowar/Fyndhorn Elves, Sylvan Ranger, or Elvish Visionary in order to get fast mana; ensure sufficient mana (especially in multi-colored decks); or play a cheap, crap combat creature that keeps your hand up and keeps your deck rolling.
It's another thing to play with a bunch of all of those, a bunch of these, and a bunch of Elvish Champions. That doesn't take much thought - and all of a sudden you're producing oodles of quick mana with a small-but-growing army of medium-to-big creatures in only a few turns.
Magic became cool not because players could win by matching types and rarities, but because it was a fun game that rewarded intelligence, knowledge, memory, and creativity. It was because yo... (see all)

While this is an amazing card i don't think it is fast enough for elf play. I personally think that when you play an elf deck you want to be able to run your deck with two mana on the field. That means you need 4x Priest of titania. If you are running a priest of titania all you are missing is your +1/+1 bonus So i would run 4xImperious perfect (as opposed to my old elvish champion) that way you got a fast mana producing kicker, and your elves can get bigger, and you can make more then one elf. If your deck is able to run from 2 mana on the field you can run 15 to 16 forests in your deck and be completely fine. That is 5 extra elves for your deck. If you run Elvish Archdruid you would need near 20 forests to make sure that when you have him you will have three forests on the field. While this is a good card i don't believe it is fast enough for the elvish style of play. type 2 i think this would... (see all)

Capable of so much mana. With the green Eldrazi deck that's around at the moment, these guys are fantastic.
Turn 1: Llanowar
Turn 2: Elvish Archdruid
Turn 3: Nissa Revane getting out Nissa's Chosen, then another 1 to 3 cost card from hand (another Archdruid, Nissa, Visionary, Llanowar etc.)
Turn 4: Eldrazi
Having access to up to 6 mana on turn 3, and realistically like that, is nothing short of amazing. It's Lotus Cobra level in an elf tribe deck (though it's not really multiple lotus cobra level ^^). The only problem is, like most fantastic creatures without shroud, it dies to spot removal. =(
