This card would be nice in a beggining game phase other than that it just slightly helps ur mana and creature play. This would be good in a high mana green deck like treefolk or Beast

This is as close as Wizards will probably ever get to printing a Llanowar Elves that is better than Llanowar Elves.

This guy, Llanowars, Findhorns: make my elf deck with 10 lands.

This guy has more diverse use cases than Llanowar Elves, though he's more annoying to use as a simple mana accelerant, since you can't just tap him for mana.

Ok question about the first ability of Garruk Wildspeaker and others with that ability like Arbor Elf, let’s say you have a card in your hand that cost 5 mana but have only 3 lands and you have Garruk out. Could you use his first ability to play the card? Same question with the elf if you hand four lands.

Turn 1: Forest, Arbor elf
Turn 2: Forest, Utopia sprawl on untapped forest and choose blue, tap for U+G, untap with Arbor elf and tap again for 2U+2G then play "Freed from the real" on the elf with U+2G and use the last U-mana for untap and infinite green is due, with it u pay for a "Wildheart invoker" pump your arbor elf to endless/endless trample and attack for lethal.
Sounds like a pretty fast combo to me... If your hand of 7 + 1or2 draw(s) excists out of them keycards. 2 Forest, Arbor elf, Freed from the real, Utopia Sprawl and Wildheart invoker.
A lot of luck but then u are sure to see some jaw drop :D

Arbor Elf is awesome, plays smoothly in my G/U mana/enchantment deck..!
1 turn: Play; Forest and Arbor Elf
2 turn: Play; Island and Overgrowth
3 turn: Play; land and tap for 8 mana, use 4 for Garruk Wildspeaker and enjoy your mana! I like War Tax, for this type of deck.

Turn 1: forest followed by Arbor elf
turn 2: forst followed by Utopia Sprawl or Wild Growth you now have {G}{G}{G}{G} or {G}{G} and two of the color you would like and then play Garruk Wildspeaker followed by Omnath
Turn 3: forest followed by tapping all lands, Omnath is now a 9/9 which you then attack with if its advantageous.
Turn 4(if they have not scooped by now): Kozilek

This is insane, allows many turn 2 stuff. example:
Turn 1. Forest, Arbor Elf
Turn 2: Forest, Utopia Sprawl the other, tap it and untap it, play Natural Order, sacrifice Arbor Elf and search your library for Progenitus. Just make sure your opponent doesn't play Innocent Blood :P
Pretty good. playing Garruk Wildspeaker on turn 2 is awesome too. and you can play Troll Ascetic right afterwards. 4 mana in turn 2 is sweeeet just need Utopia Sprawl too
