Whenever another nontoken Elf is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, you may create a 1/1 green Elf Warrior creature token.

An elvish duel is a thing of beauty: the warriors' grace, the crash of steel, then the artful spray of blood.

Official rulings

Four official rulings apply to Prowess of the Fair, newest first.

  • This cards was originally printed with the "tribal" card type. That card type has been replaced with "kindred". This change does not affect the gameplay function of this card.
  • Kindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Echoes of Eternity is an Eldrazi (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Eldrazi card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.
  • While it appears only on cards that already have other card types, kindred is a card type and will be counted by effects that refer to the number of card types among cards in a zone.
  • If Prowess of the Fair and another nontoken Elf are put into your graveyard simultaneously (by Akroma's Vengeance, for example), the other Elf will cause Prowess of the Fair's ability to trigger.
