CARL!

If you don't get it, look at the last line on the card.

Also, good for a pauper landfall deck.

I can't say whether this is card has much of a place in competitive constructive, but it definitely is worthwhile in limited formats. Its body is as big as you can expect for a common of its cost, you can get value out of it even when it dies, and it is easily able to activate morbid abilities and to pump the many green creatures in the block that like to count creatures in your graveyard.

@DarthParallax: Don't diss on snake people. I like snake people (and regular snakes), but yeah, I like this elk too!

In limited, this is the ONLY reliable green morbid enabler (that isn't rare). That's super important, because green has some very powerful morbid cards that are underwhelming when morbid isn't active - Festerhide Boar, Ulvenwald Bear, Gravetiller Wurm.

Oh, did I mention it's also an efficient way to get your splash lands? I'm almost sure I did, oh yes...

Wait, I don't get the flavor here. He goes off in search of unspoiled lands, and when he finds it, he's promptly eaten by the zombies who got there first?

I use him over Viridian Emissary for my utility slot. The key difference is that I can pop him whenever I wish. When playing with the elf, without a sacrifice engine, its up to the opponent if I get my land or not. Its a little bit more reliable, in some situations the elf can better. Playing with aggressive decks, the elf is almost always better.

I'm trying decide which of these 2 drop green ramp creatures are best, I like this guy. Sakura-Tribe Elder is obvious. But then there's Viridian Emissary and Sylvan Ranger. I particularly like the ranger, with an etb effect. I've found the emissary works nicely as a chump in EDH, or to sac so he fills the 'yard nicely. But so does this guy, and the elder. I'm just not sure.

Edit:
@Darth
I don't think that would be nuts. It's a more fragile mana cycler.

It would be better as

Llanopeace elves Green

Tap: Add Green to your mana pool

Block mechanic x: if ______ happened this turn, instead add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

1/1
