i couldn't imagine a better harbinger for treefolk. not only is it a one-drop treefolk that can hold back aggro, it can also fetch a forest card if wanted. on top of this, it doesn't have defender, also making it a useful attacker if you bring Doran, the Siege Tower.

I HATE EVERYTHING!

That was just random. It has nothing to do with Treefolk Harbinger.

So much for Wall of Wood. This is the exact same card with a fetch-land/fetch-creature ability that isn't limited to being a defender. Yowza.

4.5/5

Nice card. Even though treefolk were a tribal deck, this one is worth considering in any multi color deck to use with all those "Forest + another_basic_land_type" lands for early mana fix. It takes one draw, but in return, he doesn't have to tap to fix your mana and survives a lot of blocking for a 1 cmc.

nice little ramp for U/G:
T1 Forest, Llanowar Elves, Birds of Paradise or Noble Hierarch
T2 Island, play this and grab a forest, then Coiling Oracle, putting the forest into play. Then you could even play another one drop mana accelerant for six mana on turn 3.

Yes, there are faster, better ramps, but this leaves you with a few extra creatures, one of which is an excellent defender for early on.

Wall of wood. Nobody loved you, and this guy will make sure that never changed. Also, this guy can fetch a murmuring bosk

Nice... There are endless ways to use this.

At it's worst, use it to pull a forest in a modular deck or to save yourself from manna screw. At it's best, find your winning card.
In between, it's presence in your hand basically implies the presence of at least one other tree folk defender. Or, if that one other tree folk defender is another of this... Recursion!

If he's not swinging for 3 on turn 3 you're doing something wrong.

This guy is so amazing. I had to laugh out loud a bit when I attacked with Dungrove Elder and this. My opponent asked me why i was attacking with the harbinger, and I played Primal Bellow on him for the kill.

Auto 4 in any treefolk deck. Decent in any deck that wants ramp and a 0/3.

This is a lot of card, even for 1G. I like it.

So... for Green you'll get

1. tutor, with which you can find either Treefolk OR Forest (Murmuring Bosk)
2. nice blocker in the early parts of the game
3. dangerous 3/3 creature with Doran on the field

Versatility at it's best.

Strictly better than Wall of Wood.
By a long shot.
