Yavimaya Elder

Description

The Yavimaya Elder is a three-mana Human Druid creature from Magic: The Gathering’s 2019 The List release, identified by card number C18-166. Designed by Matt Cavotta, this common card has established itself as a functional and reliable piece for collectors and players alike. As a green-only card with a mana value of three, it fits seamlessly into decks that prioritize land acceleration and card advantage. The card’s mechanical design offers two distinct utility options for the controller. When the Yavimaya Elder dies, its triggered ability allows you to search your library for up to two basic land cards, reveal them, put them into your hand, and then shuffle your library. This effect provides consistent ramp, helping players establish their mana base more quickly. Alternatively, players can utilize its activated ability, which costs two generic mana and requires sacrificing the creature, to draw a card. This flexibility makes the card a valuable tool for maintaining resource flow during gameplay. Collecting this release from The List offers a unique experience for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. The List is known for featuring cards from various formats and eras, making each card a distinct piece of the game's broader history. The Yavimaya Elder, with its straightforward yet effective abilities, represents the strategic depth and versatility that Magic players appreciate. Whether you are building a casual deck or simply adding to your collection of classic creatures, this card provides a tangible connection to the game's rich lore and mechanical diversity. The common rarity ensures accessibility, allowing collectors to acquire it without significant financial barrier, while its utility keeps it relevant in many green-based strategies.
