Why is this card good?
Faeburrow Elder is one of the best mana dorks in multicolor decks, scaling perfectly with your color count. In a 3-color deck it taps for three mana and is a 4/4; in a 4- or 5-color deck it explodes into 4-5 mana off one tap, all while attacking as a sizable body thanks to vigilance.
That ramp-while-attacking combo is the real draw — unlike Sol Ring, it grows your board presence and accelerates you into your commander a turn early. It loves Abzan, Bant, Naya, and especially WUBRG decks built around commanders like Najeela, Jodah, or Kenrith. It's also a strong Selesnya value piece in lands or tokens shells.
The catch: it only counts colors among permanents, so in a true 2-color deck it taps for just two mana and is merely a 3/3 — fine, not exciting. Skip it in mono-color or heavily lopsided color decks.
Also note it's a high-priority removal target; opponents will kill it to stunt your acceleration.
