And it might be even better in Commander
With this in mind, its no wonder that Bloodthirsty Conqueror is currently the most expensive card in MTG Foundations.
And even though your creatures look identical, yours actually has the quite relevant "ability" of being an Elf
The former has a powerful, classic effect for Green cards, drawing you cards equal to the greatest power among creatures you control on its first turn, and on the second, it earthbends X, where X is the number of cards in your hand
A 2 mana 2/2 creature that can be played in response to a fetchland like Wooded Foothills, a watered down version like Fabled Passage or Terramorphic Expanse, a ramp spell like Three Visits, or another means of cheating cards into play like Kodama of the East Tree in order to ramp out one Plains card from your deck is already good value
It also gives you Clue tokens while keeping on top of graveyards
