I love this card, but no matter how much mana acceleration I put into a deck, I still use this to get an elf 90% of the time. I've started replacing it with elves unless except for a theme built around one particular creature.

Best creature tutor in mtg indeed. Banned cards are banned for a reason, because they are the best at what they do. 5/5

In Commander you could rewrite it into "fetch your primeval titan".

One of the best creature tutors in the game, though in some decks Green Sun's Zenith is way better nowadays.

@majinara: Not anymore! It's banned. (Primetime, that is, not the Call.)

It's the Chord of Calling before Chord of Calling. This needs a reprint!

it's not banned in Commander, Legacy, Invasion Block, or its own Standard season (Invasion-Odyssey and Mercadian-Invasion). Considering Odyssey Block had Judgment set, a green-white focused set that included an extra non-basic land and the card Mirari's Wake, I'm quite surprised Eladamri's Call doesn't make into the Top Comments for that season.
It's Good and even Great, but I really don't think its banning in Prismatic counts as much for impressive points as you think. Like, Lingering Souls was banned in its Block Format. Which was an interesting Ban and affected people sure, but it wasn't anywhere close to needing to be banned in Standard. The only thing that makes me a little more interested is Prismatic is somewhat of a different animal than Block.
Isn't it a format that forces everyone's deck to be 5-colored? Question: is it "Eternal"- does it start with close to the same card pool as Legacy Vintage before you start factoring bans? This IS a Tutor, for 2 mana CMC, so, you know it's very interesting for that.
And it's not. Not really the best Creature Tutor ever printed. Let's be perfectly honest with ourselves here. Entomb is because it puts the creature into the zone easiest to move it to the battlefield from. Which is your graveyard, not your hand.

But less interesting than:
Vampiric Tutor
Intuition
Glittering Wish
Academy Rector
