I guess I'm in the minority for Llanowar Elves. I love the Kev Walker artwork and think it puts the old one to shame. I can see keeping the old one based on nostalgia, but as far as the art is concerned, I think Kev's takes the cake. Then again, that can be said for most of his stuff. I really wish I had a foil tenth edition one to replace the DCI foil that I currently have in my cube.

You may be in the minority, but you aren't alone. Of the three, I vastly prefer Kev Walker's art. That said, I could certainly see running a foil 7th Edition Llanowar Elves if I had one (as you said, it would be out of nostalgia; I started playing while 7th was out.)
Oh, and calibretto? Your Maze of Ith is definitely Italian. The magiccards.info page lists Italian as the only foreign edition of The Dark and the picture they have of an Italian Maze perfectly matches the picture of the Maze in your cube thread.

The only problem with the Kev Walker art (and flavor text) is that it seems like it belongs on some kind of aggro or warrior elf, not a mana elf druid
i don't know what you've been doing with your llanowar elves, but i've been breaking bones for twigs 1:1 like it was going out of style. sometimes he pays for the bone snapping, sometimes he DOES the bone snapping. either way, bones been getting snapped.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.

Maybe his elves have been too busy watching for intruders in his million square miles of forest to do much bone snapping. It is a big job.

To be fair, the "druid" part is total ret-conning.
Going back to alpha, they've been portrayed as warlike, and the books support that (not this lame new druid classification)
for further evidence, try to figure out under what rationale they made phage into a zombie. as anyone can tell you, at no point was she ever undead.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

Yeah I'm going to switch to legends. I got the 7th foil because I figured it's technically the most pimp (old-border foil), but yeah I love the look of legends.

I prefer the FNM one, but I love foils more than I love nostalgia (don't have any). And old bordered foils don't have the actual pictures foil, and I feel that is the reason you should get foils, to see how cool they made the art shiny

You are not alone.. well sorta..
I would rather have this art with the old face.
