While I don't mind devoting 3 spot to mana elf and 6 total spots for 1 mana critter in green, i don't want to devote anymore than that. I probably will pass on this one.
Or include it over some of mana elf depending on the art.
I've actually been super happy with Avacyn's Pilgrim. I take it higher than Llanowar/Fyndhorn elves, certainly, considering it gives you a colour of mana that you don't already have. Avacyn's Pilgrim certainly made me feel better about playing Elesh Norn as one of my ramp targets in my (almost) mono green deck a week ago.
This is awesome! I never ran Fyndhorn Elves in my cube just because it has such horrendous art and frame, but now I will definitely add another mana elf to my cube.
I always wondered if I was the only one who wanted to run Fyndhorn Elves but didn't because the art was too horrendous. Glad to see WOTC fixed that problem for me
More Llanowar Elves, good idea! I'll have to rethink my green section, though, because I already don't run all the available elves and I also like the occasional blowout of Forest, Arbor Elf, Utopia Sprawl.
Haha, it's more of the fact that it just IS the exact same card. Elf Druid, 1/1, etc. etc. Like all that is different is the name. Even if it was just Elf and not Elf Druid, I'd run it :(.
In my cube, I've given up green aggro to more fully support green ramp and mid-range. This guy works in both of those decks, so he's an easy addition. Thanks WOTC!

At 435 we run:
Llannowar Elves
Fyndhorn Elves
Arbor Elf
Birds of Paradise
Noble Hierarch
Joraga Treespeaker
Elves of Deep Shadow
Avacyn's Pilgrim
Maybe adding another one will prove a bit too much, even for us elf lovers.
I feel compelled to repeat everything I hear
Glad I have a 810 card cube. 10 will be fine for me.

I don't think I agree with it being better than Arbor Elf since Arbor Elf can untap dual lands.

Throw out Vines for it.
PS totally running this guy. I've no idea what the ceiling is for the # of elves is, but I like this one.
I used to write cube articles on StarCityGames, now for GatheringMagic and podcast about cube (w/Antknee42.)
Well considering you're imposing this restriction upon yourself, there's no excuse for being sad!
