I can see the argument for just calling it an elf.
I also agree that the 2nd side of this feels a bit underwhelming.
I was goofing. Definitely agree that this should just be a elf; different sub-races should all be the same type for mechanical synergy
An elf is an elf; unless of course your elf is yourself; make way for mister ed.
Aaanyway. Wow, this is hard to transform. That ability is optent on turn 1; but by turn 3, are you likely to have 3 lands in hand?
Assuming you find it worth saving your land up for; you get... more land! And a hexproof War Mammoth! Somewhat underwhelming a reward.
Since Legends was based on D&D (many of the eponymous legendary creatures based on characters from actual campaigns) it stands to reason that Arboria was a not-so-subtle reference to Arborea, but I wouldn't actually suggest tying yourself to close to that particular interpretation of the plane either. The card is both not that strongly evocative of the plane and not a well-designed card.
If the Elves from Llanowar and Krosa and Wirewood, from Lorwyn and Shadowmoor and Kaladesh, the Devkarin and the Silhana and Simic elves all share a creature type... why wouldn't the high elves?
Different Arborea, Planescape has its own, which is the home plane of the elves, while the Eladrin are basically the "high elves".

No connection to Arboria that I can see
