That would certainly fit its theme, and could make for some interesting builds.

The card is quintessential elf and rather hard to come by, especially if you are an elf wizard.

Lateral Thinking goes from a hilariously terrible joke card to actually interesting niche card but is still a very niche card. The two battlefield training cards look dramatically more effective than anything positioning the elves have (and even then I’m not sure they are worth it). Forward thinking sounds cool, but I suspect in practice it will simply up the profile of punishing cards. I’ve been wanting a “super desperate block” for a while now to combat OB bursts. This is a step in the right direction, but I was hoping for a 2+ block that only triggered on 9+ attacks. The two peasant dwarf items look great for early campaign play! What I wanted to see was a teleport cantrip move exclusive to elf racials or perhaps a card that disallows any opponent from targeting an elf if they free spin before an attack. Overall I don’t think set of changes this will help multiplayer elves much and will only help human warrior builds. I really like the early single player racials.

However you did magnificently in the last round of balances so I’m cautiously optimistic.
