    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    The creature Nissa makes is a 5/5. In its first turn, Nissa can deal 5, then 10, then another 10 for the kill, assuming the opponent is still at 20. It's a three turn clock post-sweeper that doesn't...

    Right, but those are far less common and less important than the draw engine thing except in certain matchups. My point was that the things Voldimore mentioned are not relevant reasons to not run a...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    You realize Symbiote is a non-elf with a 2-mana ability, right? And that's only if Visionary is in play. Without its best friend, it really doesn't do much. WRP has a 3-mana ability that could...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    It's actually not ANT. The combo decks I've played here lately are Reanimator, All Spells, Omnitell, and Infect. The meta is very small so I run into them a LOT.

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    I boarded in that package but I think I removed some Glimpses. Boarding out so many creatures makes it kind of bad. Is symbiote fogging not relevant in the matchup?

    Played against it for the first time last night. I had a really hard time, losing after seizing a glistener, decaying an agent, and pithing on nexus. I had an...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    What do you guys think about the Grixis Delver (3-4 stifle) matchup? I've never played it, but I assume it's at least as hard as RUG Delver, and much worse postboard. Is it as tough as I think it is?

    IMarques, i agree the Iona plan seems unlikely to be consistent, but the chalice plan as well as choke+teeg+safekeeper in conjuction might be good enough. This is definitely a weird list and it...

    IMarques, neither chord nor Entity are as narrow as you think. Chord rarely costs more than two land taps in this deck (or any deck designed to support it) and it is usually a toolbox card like...

    Well yeah Slaughter Games doesn't single-handedly solve everything. I don't think I'd board it in against combo without any other disruptive cards, though. It's definitely a solid card against...

    The reanimator deck also runs Therapy, so that's not really an option.

    Yes, that's exactly how the deck runs. It's actually very consistent and very fast. It just falls flat on its face sometimes by drawing the wrong cards, and it's very Belcher-ish in that it has to...
