Presence of Gond + Nettle Sentinel = Infinite Elves.

Larbness, you are wrong, putting a token into play is not a green spell it is a green ability. NO INFINITE TOKENS FOR YOU
touchdown, Coat of Arms does not give plus counters to it does not neutralize the minus one minus one counters.

@EnV

The Druid/Coat combo does produce infinite Elves.
As long as the Coat is in play, it's bonus does neutralize the -1/-1 counters. It just doesn't remove them.

Provided you aren't going for an infinite, I would probably put it on Silhana Ledgewalker, as this aura will make the creature an instant target. She is an elf, so you are potentially running her in an elf deck, and she has troll shroud. Tap her behind and get some elf kids.

Midnight Guard from DKA makes this go infinite.

@ EnV you are right about the Nettle Sentinel and this not working, but Coat of Arms and an Devoted Druid plus this does work, as the +1/+1 to the creatures stats do counter act the -1/-1 counters...

on a second note midnight guard and this is definitely another combo, all in pauper too.

@Treima:
I guess that the enchanted creature doesn't summon Gond himself. I think this aura represents his charisma or something so that it's easy for the enchanted creature to mobilize allied elves. That's the flavor.
And about the card: I think it's a cool card on it's own but in shadowmoor-eventide-block there are cards with the untap-symbol or something like the aforementioned Nettle Sentinel which untap whenever a spell of the specific color is played.

Another Pauper combo is combining this with Sinking Feeling and Morselhoarder, which yields another infino-elves situation.

@Treima:

Tell that to Rhys the Redeemed.
