Strictly better than punching yourself in the head repeatedly until mana appears in your pool.

Nice. Decent mana-acceleration into green's enemy colors.

Haha! Nice clockwork, actually laughed at that one. This is a pretty decent card, can't think of any other elf types that'll help you bring out an "(insert high casting cost blue green card)"

Quirion Elves but they will only do one colour for the same cmc.
Birds of Paradise aren't strictly better, but in general they are just better.

@ClockworkSwordfish: But at least that way you can get red mana.

This is NOT strictly worse than Birds of Paradise...what if they were at 1 health and they had a Hex, you had seven creatures, and they killed all but this one? Then it would WIN!!!!!

This guy is a godsend in Pauper decks (or Peasant, whichever you'd like to call it). Llanowar T1, This guy T2, and then you have access to two other colors.
If you aren't running a strictly commons deck though, BoP and Utopia Tree are definitely better to use. Or, if you need G/W/U, Noble Hierarch is better.
gemhide sliver is better if you are not using this for an elf deck. It is certainly better than utopia tree or druid of the anima due to creature type and the ability to produce any color of mana respectively. Of course, BoP is still better.

This is the very first card I've seen that produces only 3 kinds of mana which aren't "shard" colors (, , , or ).

If you're running any 2 of these colors I would usually rather have this than Gemhide Sliver since I'm probably not using slivers but my opponent might be.
As far as BOP, of course it's worse, it's a common, if it wasn't worse then it would be broken, but honestly I would rather use this card in a {G}{U}{B} deck, it just seems more fun cause then you picked out a card for that deck, not I have BOP and I'm running a deck with green, not to mention you can pick this up and get change from your quarter instead of dropping a solid 5$ (not quite) on a single Birds

Pauper and Peasant are two different formats. Pauper allows only commons while Peasant allows up to five uncommons.

almsot every colour could then be achieved
