Drove of Elves

Drove of Elves was released as part of the Commander 2014 set, a collection specifically designed to expand the popular multiplayer Commander format. The card belongs to a cycle of creatures that reward players for building tribal decks, which was a core theme of the release's structure. It serves as a functional reprint of a card originally featured in the Lorwyn expansion, intended to provide Commander players with a reliable green creature that scales in power as the battlefield grows.

The artwork for this specific printing was illustrated by Steve Prescott, who has contributed to the Magic: The Gathering aesthetic for many years. His design emphasizes the classic fantasy trope of the unified woodland collective, capturing the creature's ability to bolster itself through the presence of its kin. The card was well-received by players focusing on elf-themed tribal decks, as it offered a straightforward, synergy-driven option that fits perfectly into the deck-building philosophies encouraged by the Commander format.
