Review of Farhaven Elf: ** Okay As 1. An Extra Elf 2. Mana Accelerator 3. Multiple Landfalls

This card really isn’t that great. Three mana is a lot to pay for its ability. Generally, if you cast a 3 mana spell, you should expect to get 2 or more mana in return, each turn, and in the case of Farhaven Elf it is only certain that you will get one extra mana each turn.
I took it out of my deck. It does have some redeeming value though. It is both an Elf and it allows you to search your library for a basic land and put it into play tapped. And, having an Elf scenario is a good idea, especially if you are playing a mono green deck. This card works well in decks that have Landfall cards. If two or more lands fall on a turn, the Landfall ability normally goes off more than once. This card is good for use in a multicolor deck. It is also a druid, and I don’t have any cards that work well with druids. However, in my opinion Elves and Druids are primarily for early to mid-game play, so if you have Elves in your deck, it probably doesn’t make sense to have Druids, and if you have Druids in your deck it probably doesn’t make sense to have Elves.
