Farhaven Elf

Description

Farhaven Elf is a Common creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2013 set, designated as card number 144. Illustrated by Brandon Kitkouski, this card features a mana cost of {2}{G} and a mana value of 3. It is classified as a Creature — Elf Druid, possessing 1 power and 1 toughness. The card’s primary ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, allowing the controller to search their library for a basic land card, put that land onto the battlefield tapped, and then shuffle their library. This effect provides consistent mana acceleration, a key requirement for casting higher-cost spells in the format for which Commander 2013 was designed. The flavor text accompanying the card reads, "Verdant bloom does exist. It merely hides for its own safety," adding narrative context to its role as a land-fetcher. Collectors and players interested in Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards often look to complete sets or build specific archetypes. The Farhaven Elf serves as a functional piece within Elf tribal strategies, where its ability to produce lands supports the recursion and casting of larger creatures. As a member of the Commander 2013 release, it represents a curated selection of cards intended for multiplayer gameplay. Its straightforward design and reliable effect make it a recognizable component for those tracking the evolution of the game's Commander format.
