Why's he not an Elf?

He's not an elf because an elf has never won the Invitational.

Paying to, one way or another, divert at least one kill-spell away from your big, game-winning creatures? I approve greatly.

Is it just me or is this dude underrated right now?
Alright, lands are precious. But he can fizzle any targeted removal to save your creatures, including himself. How is this not good as a one-drop? Especially in the late-game this gets really unnerving for your opponent.
Also fun with landfall when used with Second Sunrise or Planar Birth. And since i suggested some white cards already...consider including a Ranger of Eos, too.

The great thing is you'll likely never have to pay the price for his ability. In any case where it would be worth it to do so your opponent will probably just look at your Safekeeper and decide to do something else instead. Hardly foolproof but for a one drop? PS come to think of it he would have kind of made sense in Zendikar. I'm always for reprinting invitational winners.

In addition to everything else, he gives you a sacrifice outlet for land. Which can be good if you are running Balance. Don't run that combo if your opponents are using counter spells though.
Note that after it resolves, the ability cannot be used on the same creature again that turn.

Often in Green I find myself mana-flooded even in 21 land decks. It's ridiculous. A guy like this puts that mana to use.
BONK!

Also combined with crucible of worlds and a land with an ETB effect is fun.
