Creature — Elf Druid3 generic manaGreen mana

Energy was the rare mechanic that asked a single card to be both a fuel source and an outlet for what it produced, and this Elf Druid handles the front half by banking a stash scaled to the biggest body you already control. That scaling quietly rewards a green deck for going tall before it goes wide: the more your board has committed to size, the fatter the energy reserve you walk in with. The activated ability is the more curious piece, and it points at where the resource's designers imagined it might go. Paying three energy to force a creature to block is a lure effect dressed as a mana sink: you can drag an untapped blocker into a fight it would rather sit out, or pull a would-be attacker's guard down so your own swing gets through. What it does not do is direct that block; the target only has to block if able, so you are compelling participation, not assigning matchups. The pull-of-blocks line had appeared before in green and white as one-shot spells; folding it into an energy outlet turned a single play into a recurring lever, repeatable as long as the reserves hold. That the same card both generates the resource and spends it is the tidy part: a self-contained loop that asks for no wider energy commitment even if it plays best surrounded by one.
