Probably because he was on the draw. On the play, Elves is going to fetch for their one basic anyway. Once they have that, they can play any number of elves that tap for and then you wasted your first turn playing an enchantment that won't do anything relevent.

I suspect he would put them back in on the draw to catch them being greedy or force them into mulligans to find the basic.


If you remember, a few weeks ago Elves placed highly in an SCG using Blood Moons in the sideboard. The thought being that they can cast it consistently on turn 2 and at that point they already have their forest out.
