Shaman of the Pack has great potential as a finisher or pusher in any elf deck splashing B, even in modern. Well balanced and nicely costed. Goblin Piledriver will be included in any goblin themed deck. Any!
I definitely didn't think that Goblin Piledriver would see Standard again. I was betting on only seeing print in the next goblin themed red Commander deck.
The elves are super good. Seeing Sylvan Messanger again since Invasion was unexpected as well, but all this elf goodness is great as I was planning on building an Elf EDH deck.
That Shaman is definitely going to burn someone out with a few elves at some point in the game.
Reprinting Goblin Piledriver is not shabby. Also, the wording on Sylvan Messenger ("Put all Elf cards") kinda makes me think of Tribal spells returning to standard soon...
Those mad men want Goblins to take down the next modern GP. Then Elves, Merfolk and Goblins would have GP wins.

Elves collected company got new goodies and OMG goblins in standard is going to be really good. And here I thought that rabblemaster was going to finally fade away...!
PS: did jeskay ascendancy get a new shot inthe arm too with the djinn?
I don't care if Goblins are a thing in ANY format right now, this made me legit cheer. Back in ONS/MIR standard, I had 4 foil, Cavotta-autographed Piledrivers, and had all 4 stolen out of my binder. Ever since then, They'vebeen too pricey for me to buy more. Now I can have them back. God, I'm ecstatic about this...
That blue rare is such garbage. We just had strongarm monk from dragons and that was a uncommon. Talk about super lazy design. I guess people cried that strongarm was OP?
The rest of the cards got spoiled... just woah. Elves will definitely happen with this much love. Did not expect goblin piledriver at All! These couple of months with rabble and piledriver will be hilarious.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
The mana dork has some serious play. Of course he is ramping the first couple turns, but later his deathtouch is dangerous and if you psych your opponent into not blocking, you can second main phase ramp anyway.

I can see Elf tribal becoming a thing in standard. Trapper, Elite and Messenger offer really good support.
I knew it was my Birthday soon… but…. !!!

StaffMaybe in Modern too. Goblins is a tier 2.5/3 deck there at the moment, and this could make a big difference.
Also that BG elf is insane. I have a sneaking suspicion BG CoCo Elves will be huge in modern in the coming season.

Same. I'm flat out shocked that it's being reprinted.

Looks like there is a standard elf deck brewing.
