Sakura-Tribe Elder is a Common green creature from Magic: The Gathering — Commander 2019, identified by set code C19 and collector number 177 out of 302 cards in the set. This efficient Snake Shaman costs just 1 and has 1/1 power and toughness. Its activated ability allows you to sacrifice it to search your library for a basic land card and put that land onto the battlefield tapped before shuffling. This reliable land-ramp effect helps you develop your mana base, reach expensive spells sooner, and improve consistency throughout the game.

Illustrated by Ted Galaday, this Commander 2019 printing features flavor text inspired by the Orochi tradition of honoring fallen warriors through tree saplings. Sakura-Tribe Elder is a long-standing favorite among Commander players because it converts a small creature into lasting mana development at the moment you need it, including during an opponent's turn. It also works well with sacrifice strategies, graveyard synergies, and landfall abilities. This English, standard non-foil printing is a practical collectible for Commander enthusiasts, green deck builders, and players completing their C19 collection.
