Birds of Paradiseutility$275.00A one-mana green creature with flying-like evasive utility in the early game, often filling a similar slot as a cheap small flier while providing mana fixing. It is a stronger overall card, but serves the same low-cost tempo role in many decks.

Pouncing CheetahutilityBudget$0.03A cheap green creature that functions as an early board presence. Like Scryb Sprites, it is a low-mana creature used to affect the board immediately.
Gilded Gooseutility$0.94A one-mana green creature that provides early value and board presence. It is a budget-friendly utility creature that often fills the same early-game role as a small evasive creature.
Slippery Bogleutility$0.51A one-mana creature that is commonly used as a cheap evasive body in green-based decks. While it lacks flying, it similarly serves as an efficient low-cost threat.
Nettle Sentinelutility$0.31A very efficient one-mana green creature that can pressure early and stay relevant. It is a comparable cheap body for aggressive or tempo-oriented green decks.

Elvish Mysticramp$4.05Functionally very close to Llanowar Elves, it is another premier one-mana green creature for early development. It is a common substitute when you want a cheap green creature that improves your opening turns.
