Its the ideal card to sacrifice or discard, but the surveil effect means its also just fine to cast when you need to commit to the board
This makes them fairly ineffective by themselves, so theyll need a little help to really get to work
I could easily imagine a version of the deck that leans into life-gain synergies or a version that moves toward an all-flying rewards deck

Numa, Joraga Chieftain If you didn't catch on that elves do well in decks with other elves, here's an elf commander that spells it out for you, Numa, Joraga Chieftain turns your Sol Ring into a +1/+1 counter, and if you tap out, you take about half your mana and turn it into permanent pumps
Also, note that this card is not for sale
