Circle of Elders, Creature — human shaman, designed by Jakub Kasper first released in Mar, 2015 in the set Dragons of Tarkir.
This Circle of Elders card would benefit a green-based ramp or midrange deck that focuses on quickly amassing a board presence with high-power creatures. While the card offers a mana ramp ability with formidable, it may not be as efficient as other options like Llanowar Elves or Elvish Mystic for early-game acceleration. However, in a deck that consistently reaches formidable conditions, Circle of Elders could provide a significant mana boost. Overall, its playability would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, and it could be a viable inclusion in the right build.

If you control a creature with power less than 0, use its actual power when calculating the total power of creatures you control. For example, if you control three creatures with powers 4, 5, and -2, the total power of creatures you control is 7.

Other formidable abilities are triggered abilities with an “intervening ‘if’” clause. Such abilities check the total power of creatures you control twice: once at the appropriate time to see if the ability will trigger, and again as the ability tries to resolve. If, at that time, the total power of creatures you control is no longer 8 or greater, the ability will have no effect.
