The Squirrel tokens get the bonus, so they are effectively 2/2 creatures until the Hermit leaves the battlefield. And they get bigger if multiple Hermits are on the battlefield.

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from VMA — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #202 of *Vintage Masters*, the set that shipped alongside the June 2014 Vintage Masters release.

Card type: Creature — Elf, color identity green, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {3}{G}{G} (5 converted). Keyword abilities: Echo.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #12,354 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
