As long as you control another Elf, you may play an additional land on each of your turns. Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, put two +1/+1 counters on target creature you control. It gains vigilance until end of turn.
Predicted power
Standard 62 Eng.B-Usr.

Mono-Green Landfall already uses Llanowar Elves, enabling this; its repeatable land drops and counters rate above niche 4-drops, near Mightform Harmonizer (56).

Best home Simic landfallBand role-playerConfidence 64%

Could be wrong if A blue splash, an Elf already in play, and spare lands may be too demanding for a four-mana creature with no immediate ETB value.

Pioneer 37 Eng.DUsr.

The engine is powerful after setup but slower and more conditional than Pioneer role-players; it is closer to Accumulate Wisdom (35) than Beza, the Bounding Spring (65).

Band fringeConfidence 65%

Could be wrong if A credible Elf-based landfall shell could make recurring extra land drops substantially more valuable than expected.

Modern 26 Eng.FUsr.

Amulet Titan is the clearest land-drop shell, but a four-mana creature needing another Elf is far less immediate than Modern land engines such as Sowing Mycospawn (78).

Could be wrong if If an established land deck can satisfy the Elf condition at negligible cost, the additional-land text may earn testing.

Legacy 19 Eng.FUsr.

Lands could theoretically exploit extra land plays, but four mana, a blue requirement, and needing an Elf make this far below efficient engines like Emry, Lurker of the Loch (69).

Best home LandsBand speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if Fast mana or a new Elf-land shell could reduce the casting-cost burden, though the setup remains substantial.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 61 Eng.B-Usr.

Elf decks readily turn on an extra land each turn, while landfall decks value repeated +2/+2 counters; it is useful but supplies neither cards nor lands like Cultivate (72).

Best home Elf landfallBand role-playerConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if Its value depends on maintaining another Elf and a steady land supply; optimized lists may prefer independent ramp or draw.

Limited 76 Eng.A-Usr.

A 3/4 that can become a 5/6 on the next land and snowball with an Elf is a strong rare build-around, around the Abomination, World Ravager (75) tier.

Best home GU landfall/ElvesBand first-pickConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Archetype support, fixing, removal, and set speed are unknown; weak Elf density or few landfall enablers would lower its pick order.

Elf landfall engine

“A conditional extra-land engine with a potent landfall payoff, strongest where Elf density and land supply are reliable.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
