@FakeZor

Elementals in Lorwyn work differently;
rather than being a physical manifestation of some force of nature like a fire elemental or an earth elemental, they are physical manifestations of the dreams and nightmares of Lorwyn's sentient races, hence why they look so weird.

"physical manifestations of the dreams and nightmares of Lorwyn's sentient races"
Wow, that sounds an awful lot like the chaos demons from warhammer, I've gotta get me some of these Lorwyn elementals.

I think it is pretty good in a 'return to owner's hand' strategy along with others like Man-o-War, Boomerang etc. Any thoughts?

@Sironos: Well, the chaos demons from warhammer more resemble the elementals of Shadowmoor than anything. In sunny, happy Lorwyn, they're less.. vicious.

Pretty solid and dependable. Would've liked it though if he was a bit smaller and cost a bit less.

What happens when you remove the creature with a card at the moment it came into play? If it returns at the end of turn, does it still gets sacrifice?

Works quite well in a flicker deck. Respond to the trigger and you'll bounce two things while getting a 4/4, often for about 5 mana.
