This seems so obviously a nice one-drop for green, I wonder why it's not been printed? It must have been discussed. Whether it just didn't find a place between rampant growth, llanowar elves and Nature's Lore?

It seems balanced with Nature's Lore (costs 1 net mana), and with llanowar/arbor elves (your mana can't be taken away, but you don't get a creature). But better in decks that care about forests. Is playing three-drop on turn two too nice if your opponent can't interfere? Or is it just too boring?

Wow. Yes, interesting. My guess is that it's a smidgen too good: it's a Llanowar Elves that can't be burned. Although comparing Llanowar Elves with Birds of Paradise... You're right, I'm startled I've not seen it at least discussed.
