Love the artwork :D but not as good as Ezuri.

BUT std is getting some cool elves and Zendikar had elves there too so elves in std might be viable so she might see std play soon :D

Oh god im hoping for more elves, im a huge fan. Just curious, how is Ezuri better? They seem to be on moderately equal terms

With ezuri you can swing in for monster pus amounts of damage through ramp. This elf isn't a mana sink, thus not as powerful. The life gain is nice, but not a necessity

Could be nice vs more aggressive decks like Affinity and Burn to help tilt the scales, no?

Too slow. Plus it's only good in those match ups

Ezuri can keep your board state intact if you keep mana open and can create some very difficult choices for your opponent when it comes to blocking. And of course what everyone else said, with the whole repeatable {Overrun} nonsense. He's stupid good, and he's costs {1} less. I still love this card though! Can't wait to slide it into my EDH. Also hoping for more Standard Elves, as I said before that is one thing that would make me want to play Stanard again.

You also can't hit this with {Collected Company}
