Wow, I was away from TheSource forum over summer and there are 50 new pages in Elves thread!

First question. I realized that I still have big problems with RUG-Delver. What is your side plan...

I agree too. Cards get banned when they broke entire format and not because they are strong in one specific deck. New legendary rule results into the Elves deck becomes a little bit faster and...

I encountered this problem too. You must hold Ctrl while casting spell or activating an ability to hold priority.

Well, I am also thinking about playing legacy on MTGO. In my opinion it is a great...

There are a lot of methods. Off the top of my head:

(1) T1 play forest and Quirion, T2 play forest and Nettle plus Heritage, tap them for 3 mana, play one more elf, untap with Quirion and again...

Very comprehensive primer! I would mention Beck // Call as possible 5th Glimpse of Nature. I mean if Ruric Thar, the Unbowed is mentioned as experimental card so Beck should be too. And maybe you may...

Is Chalice of the Void for zero viable sideboard answer against ANT/TES? I don't like Thorn of Amethyst because it's rather slow.

Few thoughts about Beck//Call in Elves had Matt Nass in this article: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/matt-nass/spoiler-spotlight-beck-call/

Well, If my meta was mostly Moat/Terminus/Humility I would consider not playing Elves at all. Personally I don't like Gaddock Teeg much against control. All games I have played and won against...

Decks with Moat also run Terminus and Humility. Still those decks are quite rare.



Biggest problem with mass removal is that opponent is able to play it before you combo-out, i.e. kill all...

".Ix" illustrates you can play around counterspells with NO/Hoof. So what other advantages does Emrakul have over Hoof? Both can be stifled and killed with mass removal. Hoof is two-times cheaper and...

Don't forget that Emrakul can be Stifled and than also can die on Supreme Verdict. Hoof just does everything what Emrakul does but it's cheaper and tutorable. Really, nowdays there is no reason to...

Actually I do. Now I am testing two Birchlore Rangers (instead of one Llanowar Elves) and it seems good. I like the fact that if I have Nettle Sentinel on battlefield then all my elves are turned...

Maybe Terrastodon can help in this situation too by hiting opponent's lands. Playing around Terminus is tough.


This is exactly why I like Ruric. But I can't see how you make 4 mana on your...

What do you think about Lotus Cobra as an alternative mana dork? And I like the idea with Veteran Explorer too.

I'm keeping an eye on more variants of Notion Thief decks and this seems pretty...

Hard to say. Actually I am still thinking about 1 Crop Rotation/3 (maybe 4) Gaea's Cradles split. With Rotation you can still cheat another Cradle into play when you have already played a land. And...

I have found this:

"The most notable change for Modern, Legacy, Vintage, and Commander will be that legendary lands will be much more attractive to run in decks. While they still suffer from the...

I don't say it's better than Mindbreak Trap. Trap is great. Sure, Flusterstorm is more effective versus storm combo. Envelope is more efective versus Show and Tell, Terminus or Pyroclasm. But I think...

What do you think about Envelope in sideboard instead of Spell Pierce/Flusterstorm in that blue splash version? It can counter most of the card we care about like Infernal Tutor, Burning Wish, Show...

Lemnear: Your arguments are faulty. If opponent has Chain in opening hand it doesn't matter for us if we played Teeg of Ruric. Ruric at least do some damage. And if opponent casts Duress or Silence...

Hoof is lethal only if you have more than three or four creatures on the battlefield. If you cast NO in second turn or if you have just one or two creatures then NO into Ruric is theoreticly better...

I played at BoM7 with LSV version of Combo Elves and I must say it is very good deck now. At main legacy event I had 6-0-0 after 6th round. Then I unfortunately lost to ANT and two Show and Tells so...

In the most situations probably is. But under Glimpse I rather draw Priest than Crop Rotation. And don't forget Priest counts all elves on battlefield - not only yours. This makes him very powerfull...

I used to dislike him too. But after some win games where Priest was a key card I have changed my mind.

Yes. And it comes handy in mirror too, if your are not starting. Against ANT I mostly name LED or Infernal Tutor, and against SnT probably Lotus Petal or Show and Tell. Against combo you can side out...

I thought about Sylvan Safekeeper too. Beside he protects our creatures he is able to preform some micro-tricks. For example feed a land for Deathrite Shaman or play second Cradle after sacrificing...
