Why does it not simply tap for mana like Birds of Paradise does?

Because this one is a common.

And because there shouldn't be too many BoP effects, especially not in Elves.

Surpased by a Kamigawa card. Orochi Leafcaller.

A mana filtering elf... I can do without. Decent guy for splashes though.

So far, this is the only cmc 1 elf that can produce Blue, as well as whatever else. Yes, lotus cobra, birds or the leafcaller are better, but they're not elves. I picture the Viridians as limited Skyshroud Elves, but for any color mana and less to cast.

I'd much rather have a Birds of Paradise. This card is not nearly as good. Tap for mana is much better than tap + 1 for mana.
