    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I'm shocked to hear you take out two Quirion Rangers. In my mind, the perfect board against Miracles is a Quirion Ranger, Wirewood Symbiote, Dryad Arbor and Pendelhaven. That way I'm attacking for 4...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I ended up going 4-3 at the recent 40 Duals tourney in PA. It was one of the weirdest tournies ever, here's the breakdown:
    2-0 Lands = Good matches, involving me upkeeping tabernacle for long...

    Hey Julian, what shop in Brooklyn was it? I just moved to BK and didn't know there was a shop with a legacy weekly. Also, how did you find Elderscale Wurm? I reraised that card a few pages back and...

    I had the same experience. In the grindy matchups, it seems I was always getting to a point where I had a bunch of fetches and nothing to get. It may be the case where that fifth land would have been...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Just wanted to mention that Elves can kill with DRS through an Elderscale since it's lose of life and not damage. Don't scoop to another Elves player if they get him into play :)

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    As I mentioned in my earlier post, the second deck I consider it useful for is Burn. Also, I'm not sure why you say "UR Delver without Submerge." I haven't seen any UR Delver decks WITH submerge, so...

    Just because you didn't get it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Maybe because it was because you didn't read the next few sentences you didn't include in your quote? What I'm saying is that if I'm...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Well unless you're going down on NO and targets for it, the number of counters doesn't matter. If I'm replacing Craterhoof for Elderscale, they're both high mana, must counter cards. Now if you're...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Have you tested Elderscale Wurm at all? It seems good against burn and UR Delver, both of which should be out in full force at GPNJ. Also, at 7 green mana it's totally castable against those decks...

    Has anyone dropped Progenitus/Worldspine Wurm completely from their sideboard? I'm one of those people that seem to draw it constantly and am greatly considering not having them available. Anyone...

    Um, isn't D&T known to be excellent against Sneak and Show? 3 maindeck Karakas along with Revokers is pretty huge.

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Are you keeping the 4th in against Miracles and bringing in a Progenitus as well? And when you shave a NO and a NO target in the Delver matchups, are you bringing in any SB targets there or basically...

    So I ran the following list at the SCG Open in NJ this weekend. After starting off 4-0 (including 2 miracles wins!), I got a draw against Gerard Fabiano in the 5th round, luck turned against me and I...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    I also think of it as the anti-Toxic Deluge card. So for various BUG/Jund decks it's a good board card to have.

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    I'll be trying Sylvan Library in my SB for the first time this weekend. Do you recommend bringing it in in all Delver matchups? Though RUG can't remove it, UWR and BUG are slower and there should be...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    To me, Worldspine is for decks that could kill hydra through toxic deluge and for Sneak and Show. I don't think it's worth a SB slot if you don't want the SnS matchup covered a little extra as deluge...

    I'm also interested to see how people playing 19 lands feel about their mana bases. I'm considering sticking with 20 but siding one out for matches that go long such as miracles. Not sure how sound...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    I play 1 needle in the board, so my strategy against UWR would be:
    +3 Abupt Decay
    +2 Thoughtseize
    +1 Progenitus
    +1 Pithing Needle
    +1 Null Rod

    -3 N. Sentinel
    -2 H. Druid
    -1 Glimpse

    Thanks for your input, the UWR Delver matchup is the specific one I'm wondering about bringing in Null Rod. The only removal they would have for it is Council's Judgment post-board (assuming they...
