Avacyn's Pilgrim (3/27)
A mostly innocuous common,
Avacyn's Pilgrim is an excellent enabler for
green-white builds of all kinds. Being able to
ramp into larger creatures faster is always
good, and the fact that Avacyn's Pilgrim adds
white mana (instead of green, the usual produced
mana type of green mana dorks) gives it a niche
all its own. It's powerful, and it's worth
considering in decks that want to turbo out big
threats faster.

Avacyn's Pilgrim
Have you ever tried to use Llanowar Elves to
cast a three-cost card with two white mana in
its cost? It's not as hard as it sounds, because
since you made the deck you will presumably
include things like Temple Garden or Horizon
Canopy so you can lead with those as often as
possible, but this guy is pretty good for that
too. In larger formats, he suffers a little from
the comparison with Birds of Paradise or, if
you're staying in the Human tribe, Noble
Hierarch. There's nothing really wrong with him,
though - players of Modern will attest that
there are few things better than having three
mana on turn two, and he's a reason why
Innistrad block Humans are such an explosive and
powerful tribe.
