Oh My God it's a...a... Double Elephant!
This is a card worth playing because of the tempo and card advantage it provides. Turn one Llanowar Elves followed by T2 elephant and T3 2nd elephant is a great early game. The second elephant allows you to not play your drawn card, providing card advantage while still having a 3/3 body on the field.
Better yet is to play something like Blastoderm on turn 3, saving the second elephant for when the deck slows down.

OK my eyesight must be going. At first glance I read this as "Call of the Nerd". Must be from Unhinged or Unglued.
Wonder what kind of token you'd get with that?

I just watched a David Ochoa cube draft and he just made a Call Me Maybe joke with this card. Where's my rifle?

Guys, guys, I think what we're all forgetting what this card was made for...populate.

Even with power creep this thing seems just fine for the low color weight and reasonable cost for the effect. Plus, now we have populate.

I really want to put this in a deck in Modern. It's a format where every ounce of card advantage counts, and this card is nothin if not efficient. Easily cast on T2, easily splashed, great art. And one o my favorite things about Flashback is how much the opponent hates countering it when they know it'll be right back. White got Lingering Souls, but green has ways had Call of the Herd.

This is a nice card, feels solid when you play it even to the present. Likes parallel lives a lot. I also like assault/battery
