For those keeping track of how this card is better than Llanowar Elves:
This card can still be used offensively, it attacks as a 1/2 if it's the only creature attacking.

The correct order for "The blow out" is as follows:
1st turn: Noble Hierarch
2nd turn: Rhox War Monk
3rd turn: Rafiq of the Many (10 lifelink)
4th Turn: Finest Hour, attack with Rhox War Monk twice. (30 lifelink)
I think an 80 point life swing should work out pretty well.

This card is a worthy option if your only running two of the 3 colors, i would even go as far to say as only 1. She's another llanowar elf (unless your planning on useing his elf status) who brings exalted to the party, whats not to like?

automatic 5/5 in my book. Too good to pass up in Bant. not only do i see mana accel, but also exalted acceleration. (newly coined term)

Highest rated creature in the game!
And I can see why. Birds is good enough, but this thing gives you a large buffet of mana colors to choose from, and ALSO gives you a boost for all your creatures.

It's a hard competition, Noble Hierarch vs Mother of Runes for best 1 drop, but good thing they serve different functions, it's not hard to include both if you're willing.

I've been playing since dark ascension with w/g humans using Avacyn's Pilgrim as my mana fixing one drop human.... WHY AM I JUST DISCOVERING THIS NOW!? the pilgrim is only 2/5ths of what this card brings to the table!!

@FourEx If you can't appreciate ramp, then sorry, there's nothing I can do for you there. It's like learning not to target your opponent with Sign in Blood.
@Laguz You can't compare those cards; they fulfill completely different purposes. Noble Hierarch is for fixing, ramp, and providing extra damage. Mother of Runes is for saving creatures or blocking single ones. Sometimes she will be used to make creatures unblockable, but that usually doesn't happen, and it's more likely for your opponent to have more than one creature color than more than one Mother of Runes. They have almost no overlap besides the fact that they're both 1-mana humans with a tap ability.
