Hi all,
Inspired by the heroic Elf primer written by danyul, I wanted to craft an updated 'Budget Elves' thread. I tried searching but the last thread hasn't been updated since Lorwyn.

Freggle I love your list, especially focusing on our engine with 4 GSZ, and 12 Wild Growths. You've even dropped older staples such as Elephant Grass down to a singleton and removing WoWar...
This is the version I'm testing. Going for more consistency with no conditional/2UU threats. 16 faeries means Sprite is more useful, while Weatherseed dodges removal. Mulldrifter as Mox/Fow bait...
This is what I've been playing around with.
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Phyrexian Dreadnought
2 Vendilion Clique
2 Trinket Mage
2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
4 Brainstorm
3 Ponder
adrieng: Love your list, for a dedicated combo list it looks really cool.
I wanted to share what I'm tinkering with, UG DreadLage:
4x Brainstorm
4x Ponder
4x Force of Will
4x Stifle
2x...
Hi guys I'm new to this deck and love it. Have had some great initial results with the Serge list posted previously. Just wondering wherpeople stand on Price of Progress? Seems like a lot greedy mana...
Reanimate target thread!
I love casual/budget decks and have always wanted to build around Kor Spiritdancer. Such a great card. Anyways here's my current list:
Enchantment (24)
4x Ancestral...
I think Leyline/Grove is ok against Combo. Having said that, I've lost in a tourney turn 2 to ANT despite having both in play. Ad Nauseum into double bounce.. dead. Made me wonder why I bothered....
I agree with you that Merfolk can really use the additional burn/removal. Then I start to wonder, since I'm going UR anyways, would I be better off just playing UR Delver-Burn instead of 'Folk?...
Are you sure this is correct regarding Omniscience & Confusion? My understanding was as follows:
1) Active Player: Show and Tell
2) <both players choose and then reveal cards, lets say...
Both recent lists (3rd & 21st) that appeared in Top 32 of SCG Indi had 1 Intuition, 2 Grisel, 2 Emrakul. Is this standard now? I would have thought you'd pack 3 copies of target cards with Intuition...
I have yet to test Hanni #2 or #3 yet, just been playing with Steelblade. If you haven't played with the 0-cost equip before, its absolutely bonkers in practice. My only gripe is that without...
Hanni: always appreciate your posts. Definitely gives the Affinity lovers some food for thought. Can you elaborate on each variant fares versus decks to beat? Or which metas they can be played in? Do...
Has anyone tried breaking down the cards of SnT variants into categories as it is often done in Dredge? It might make lists and variants easier to compare. And as with Dredge maybe more of a...
I would look at the risk/reward for these situations. In scenario 1, the risk is that he blocks and you lose your Prospector. The reward is one damage getting through. It's a pretty low risk/low...
Yep agree. Thats why I said 'add', as in, do we need to change the decks configuration around more instead of just hoping the current one gets in there? Or is it fine as is?
So do we add more protection like Overmaster, Boseiju, Divert, Flusterstorm, REB? More threats like Sneak? More disruption like discard, Blood Moon, City of Solitude, Trinisphere, Choke, Defense...
I wanted to discuss Deshaun Baylock's list that 5th placed SCG Open Cincinnati, Ohio 07-10-2012:
If we take the following as core:
4 Omniscience
4 Brainstorm
4 Force of Will
2 Emrakul, the...
Any thoughts on Temporal Fissure as our bounce wish target?
Pro vs Eye of Nowhere: can remove multiple lock pieces. with Omni on the field, you can Petals-Wish-Temporal their entire board.
Con:...
I just wanted to say Goblins isn't as simple as playing Jitte. Pyrokinesis is a blowout and many decks have answers to artifacts like Tuktuk or Tin Street. Combined with Gempalm, it can make it...
Not sure what you're trying to say but Karakas can still bounce a hasty Emrakul before it attacks. However if you have another red mana you can activate Sneak attack again and replay him while the...
Show and Tell is a horrible matchup and I'm not sure we can do much about it. Prey on the decks that aim to beat it? Spell Snare and O-Ring from SB? Unclear how much these will help or if we just...
Above looks sweet man, definitely going to test it. Can you comment on the necessity of 2 MD Karakas? Is this purely a meta call against SNT? What else is it useful against? I'm just a bit worried 19...
I wanted to discuss some choices for those splashing Blue. If there is a better place to discuss it, can someone link me? I don't however think the deck is that different, or its a natural evolution...
I've been looking for Affinity lists I liked in the SCG results. Unfortunately there haven't been many lately. I did like David Goldfarb's which placed 4th back in May. Upon closer inspection, I was...
