Looks like a straight upgrade of Rec Sage for W builds.

Isn't Kalastria Healer strictly better here? It works with Agent out of the box and as a bonus doesn't target.

The other pillar of (most) Nic fit is Pernicious Deed. It controls the board and helps you get rid of Explorer. We could go old school and run Rector (which already synergizes with the new Recruiter)...

A hilarious olds school Aluren/Elfs hybrid top8ed a SCG qualifier: http://www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=21238&iddeck=162648

You can continue going off in response to the copy (you generally want to pass priority so that the bounce happens). Upon the resolution of CoV (after the bounce; but you can't do anything between...

CoV is almost never completely dead. With 2 creatures and Aluren in play it's your second best draw engine netting you 8+ cards.

Out of curiosity I tried the following experiment:

My list, 5 life
board: Aluren, Shardless, Harpy; Tropical, Tropical, USea, Bayou (all tapped).
hand: /
graveyard: /

(i.e. the worst...

If you bounce a Shardless the net effect is the same as if Stalker would have been any 3cmc creature and you would have plowed pass; while in the case of a drawing creature, I would rather have a...

If you go off right it's very unlikely you will fizzle. Even the original version with Man o'War and Raven got there consistently. You just have to be careful with the little things like how to stack...

In Shardless Wish version there is no point in playing Strix main. Also, the utility of Recruiter is so marginal that it does not outweigh the 2 slots (Stalker main and Recruiter in SB) it takes. I'm...

Coiling Oracle is probably still better: the colours are less awkward (don't forget you need double G for Aluren) and it can [sometimes] accelerate you and/or enable Brianstorms and CoV whilst going...

I'm probably missing something obvious, but what makes Selike so good? Or more precisely how do you get around the "needs to be tapped" bit.


I'm sorry, we assumed you were familiar with...

You don't play 4, you play 2-3. The point of SDT is to sculpt your hand against control and discard (similar to how ANT used it). It improves your inevitability. Being colourless helps consistency...

Two pieces of tech I believe are indispensable in modern Aluren lists:

1) Sensei's Divining Top
SDT has proven itself in ANT and DDFT decks as an anti-control and anti-discard measure. While the...

Coatl can't preform Tarmogoyf's main function, namely being a wall against opposing Goyfs in the early game.

Gargantuan if anything is a replacement for MoW. It can't function as a Goyf because...

Top helps quite a bit against discard. Having a lot of fetchlands and craking them at the last possible moment (preferably to cast Aluren) is some good against LD.

In my testing 21 lands was more than enough, especially if you are running Wall of Roots and Top. In my latest builds I even went down to 20 lands + LftL.

As for your manabase it probably has too...

Without Intuition is Therapy worth it? First and foremost it severely compromises your mana development since you alerady need to commit to blue early for CB. The nature of hate Aluren faces has...

You guys are worrying about non-issues. How many decks pack Solitary Confinement or Runed Halo? And even if, you can always bounce them.

Yes.


It still flies, beats for 2 and blocks.

That obviously makes much more sense. For some reason I was still operating under the assumptions of the original question and to make matters even more embarrassing even that was wrong as MoW's...

While cute this is quite risky. A good opponent won't replay his creatures but simply let the MoW triggers bounce all of yours.

EDIT: this is wrong on multiple levels; see below.

You copy the Chain upon resolution: the Needle is bounced and your opp chose to copy it. The copy goes onto stack and the opp chooses your Aluren as it's target. Now you have priority again and can...

Something worth considering with Shredder is it's free under Aluren.

Raven pros: one colour less, can be used to dig for Aluren or answers to hate (this is by far the most important), reusable via...

Harpy's gating triggers when she comes into play, ergo you have a black creature for Strix in play. Even if you need to bounce the Harpy to thwart removal, it still works because by the time your...
