Indeed. But it is still a lovely card. As long as it is on your side.

ummmm.. massive tribal power. Yowza. Combined with an effect that allows you to untap, and this thing can crank your life total.

I saw my friends play elf vs rebels before and the game just wouldn't end until every card was drawn. I mean you can get 20 life every turn with this card and the rebel deck had story circle

Having multiple copies of this in a deck just floods you with life. Interesting, though not reliably useful, that they don't even have to be your elves.

This and timberwatch elf are the two most common 'tap for x' elf cards.
Now with the G 1/1 elf in Scars that untaps all creatures when it attacks, those cards get mental.

Agh! A wellwisher! Kill it, kill it now, kill it with fire or sludge or tear it in half or force it to block or whatever, just kill it.

Run Well of Lost Dreams to draw your deck, it's not like you wouldn't have the mana.

This card is great, in theory. Yes it's got fantastic tribal synergy, but the problem lies in the fact that it doesn't say '...elves you control.' So as a result, once it gets mind controlled and you haven't drawn some sort of removal or disenchant, you're basically taking your own medicine with a dirty spoon. This card has lost me games ridiculously quickly when I wasn't able to draw an answer in time.

Welwisher saved me against a Merfolk deck. After about 4 turns, it was winning 40 to 14. Within three turns I managed to turn it to 20 to 40 and ended the game at 75 life. Beastly little common. 5/5

During Onslaught block, this card was alternatively my greatest ally or most hated foe, depending on who was controlling it. I know that people like to turn their nose up at life gain, but with a sprinkling of untap ability, this card could provide you with an insane life total.

I'm a wellwisher. In that I wish you no particular harm.

Oh man, this card was such a pain back in the day. Then I pulled out stuff like Slice and Dice and this sort of nonsense was never a huge problem again.

You know you have a casual play group if you have ever said that wellwisher is broken.

I'm sorry but the fact that it doesn't say "elves you control" is more of a boost than a hindrance because of elves being a heavily supported creature type. Also, if you can't overrun (or whatever win condition you use) a mind control style deck with an elf deck, even if they have one of your wellwishers, then you have a poorly crafted elf deck (which is almost as hard as having a bad sliver deck).

Wellwisher and Ageless Entity are forever BFF's. The entity doesn't come with trample but that's why we have Rancor isn't it? Why yes, I'll take a 50/50 trampling creature thank you very much.

It's name, wellwisher, is a misnomer. It wishes you nothing but hate.
