The fact that when the Apparition dies (often from having to trade with one of my Elves) I only get back a rubbish 3/3 rather than my Elvish Archdruid really hurts me on a personal level

For a bewildering cost of three mana, Imperial Recruiter will let you search your library for a Creature card with power two or less, reveal it, and then put it in your hand
It's similar to Sterling Grove but without the tutor ability and at a slightly higher price tag (both mana and dollars)
Shes easily one of the best cards in the game and four copies are run in the Tier 1 Ruby/Amethyst control deck
By the time it gets into combat, we should have a fair number of creatures in the graveyard already
