Along with Birds of Paradise, the original mana-creature and the center of almost every elf deck ever made...

BOLT THAT DAMN ELF!!!!oneshiftone!

If you don't, its already game over. No need to ask, no matter the cost, KILL IT before it gets to lose summoning sickness. Otherwise the game's already decided.

Bonus points for the creepy artwork. I'd run this version over the M2010 one any day.

The first thing that comes to mind when I see this card is the "beauty obsessed" elves in Lorwyn.

I wonder what would happen if they met?

Disgusting. Is this a cyborg? Is it a mutant? Is it some sort of zombie Frankenstein's Llanowar Monster?

I don't know, but it shouldn't have been printed with this art.

Never understood the original art, but it's iconic and still one of the best known. Creepy as hell though...

The best art, unless you are a girl.

"...

Unlike a lot of cards in early magic, they got this one right the first time.

I guess Maddocks wasn't sure what direction to go with Sengir Vampire...? Wizards obviously wasn't too concerned...

On a related note; how do I make the autocard refer to a specific version of the card. I.e the Anson Maddocks version of the vampire

I run four of this in my elf deck.

Whenever the Llanowar Elves kick back with a forty of Olde Elvish, they pour a little on the ground for their fallen homeboys, considering that nature's portion.

"Is your blind date here yet? I'm sure it will be fine - you said he's an elf and they're all supposed to be DAAAAAAAMMMNNNN!"

This card is the perfect first turn for almost any deck with green. The Anson Maddocks art with a black border is the very embodiment of class. My favourite elf. He was cool back when elves weren't universally reviled and feared, and is still relevant today. 5/5

Not a ton of reasons not to throw these guys into a deck. Helps amp up to get those big Green beasts out. Also that's one punk rock looking Elf dude. Never understood what was going on with him.
