While the payoff of dealing an astounding (for the time) 20 damage to any target isn't quite the boon it used to be with loads of lifegain floating around as well as the existence of Commander, where 20 damage is only half the player's life total, this is still a classic Gobby card from Weatherlight that deserves its place in the top 10 of this list
You have many cards like Bloodghast, Cordial Vampire, or Drana, Liberator of Malakir that are better when cast on curve and reasons to have few Plains in your deck
Thats something
While this card sadly doesnt ping whenever a creature enters on your side of the battlefield, getting this trigger on casts is nearly as good, and it will surely aid you in filling up your hand with more threats so you can employ all that mana, which Elves are so good at producing
Its very sad to lose a 4-mana creature to 1-mana Fatal Push, and this card raises the bar for what a creature needs to do to be playable
