Everything is good in EDH. It’s a singleton, casual format. High, CMC cards are allowed to thrive because they are mostly redundant versions of similar, cheaper cards, and the casual draw is also there.
...and Tarmogoyf. Yeah, not everything is good in EDH.
I agree with you, though. I'm also sick of people saying "good in EDH." And people should explain why something is good. I've seen way too many comments declaring something good in EDH that is actually pretty garbage. EDH is the format where more cards are allowed to shine than in any other format. But we still have standards.
Well, I figured cards that don’t function mechanically due to the format restrictions was a given, but you’re right.
My main point is that you are likely to see Wood Elemental hit the board and do something relatively dumb in this format. And, not be surprised in the slightest. Whether it due to a limited collection, your general play-style, or just because it reminds you of your grandmothers kitty Mr. Tinkles, people will play whatever makes them happy. In that regard, the expectation should already be “this card is good in EDH”.
Only because EDH is not usually played as a sanctioned format. Nobody sane would ever play the Wood Elemental in a tournament setting ever. Unless is a masochist that likes to lose and waste money for nothing. That said, I'm a CEDH player, so "it's good in EDH" has a much more serious meaning within my parameters.
Which, again, should also go without saying.
Geeze. And BTW, how does “good in EDH” have a more serious meaning for a CEDH player? Completely different styles of play.

I'm sure it will be good in EDH. a technically discard and sacrifice outlet and some demons, it won't be good, but I'm sure some legendary creature is spiking in 3....2....1....
Ok, let’s get something straight here.

It wasn’t so bad in recent years, but lately this “Good in EDH” comment thing has become a freaking epidemic. At the very least, explain why it’s good in EDH.
Ok, rant over. As for the card, it’s pretty cool. You can create a semi-decent value engine with Persist/Undying creatures and Squee, Goblin Nabob.
Being able to create some ETB value, it’s not bad. A tad expensive. Though.
