Trample is kinda expected here it being elephant and all.
What do you think about haste in ? Of the two - vigilance and haste - which one should in your opinion should appear more frequently? Or are they both niche abilities for ? You made this a common though so...
This could be seen as a shameless plug, but Dancing Deer is cool, right? These abilities fit well for its creature type. I also like it as it's surely a card that couldn't have (higher toughness than power and it has vigilance) and is quite different compared to any other haste card I can recall.
"The elephant tramples." Yes "The elephant is vigilant." ? "The deer is vigilant." Sure "The deer is hasty." Yep
What I'm alluding to is to how could use haste more frequently but maybe in a way that differs from the way uses it.
Vigilance on this card has the added message that it turns around what the original War Elephant did: Putting trample (primarily green) on a white 2/2 which is really undeserving of the ability.
Knowing elephants they are quiet tireless and attentive. They can trample, but sometimes they don't. This specimen is disciplined.

EDIT:
At the time when this was posted in 2012, it might have been a lot more controversial, but nowadays it seems vigilance is surprisingly common in

This would be the perfect flavor text for the card xD
