    Who would it be good against? Miracles?

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Not really, you just have to learn to play against it and not vomit your hand on the field. Also, K. Grip and Abrupt Decay are your friends. Lots easier to tech against Miracles than Miracles and...

    I find it scary that half the time I want to respond to something on this thread you do it first and in pretty much exactly the way I was going to.

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I was going to write a more diplomatic version of this, but Lemnear as usual is on point. This might work well against bad Miracles players, but against people that know what they're doing I have a...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    As Cord already costs GGG plus the CC of whatever else you're fetching (Entity at 3 or Fuana Shaman at 2?), yes I think pretty much any chord counts as gigantic. I remind you we're playing Legacy...

    I lol'd



    Sorry to pull a Lemnear, but is skill intensive and "out of the box" code for bad?

    I don't really understand what this list is doing other than trying to fuel a giant Chord and...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I'm torn on that elf, but my logic is that he's strictly worse than DRS if you're trying for recursion via Wirewood and needs to many other elves to serve as the end of a Glimpse turn, even if he is...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Yes, really. Not that hard before the first Terminus, honestly. You could be right that we wouldn't have enough time to set up... which I actually pointed out several times in my own posts. I'm not...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I don't want to be snide, but I can't help but think you aren't reading my posts. If you have a Vengevine, which is the only way this would work against something like Miracles, then it doesn't...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I don't know about you, but normally when I play Miracles I don't flood the board with guys. I go with Julian's strategy of keeping 3-4 power on the board (or equivalent with DRS) and replacements...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I would agree with Echelon and Lemnear, although I do see one big advantage to Evolutionary Leap vs. Miracles. In response to Terminus, we can sac the team and fill our hand with a few guys to replay...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I suspect this is because the ramp in Battle for Zendikar block will be real and they're afraid she'll be too easy to flip. Pity that all it actually does is make her uplayable in older formats. Then...

    Which one and why?

    Edit: Lolz, that's what I get for not reading the spoiler. She indeed sucks for us, although maybe she'll be good elsewhere if they push Land ramping in Origins or Battle for...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Nor did I mean to imply you had. I was just making a broader point, because I see a tendency in this thread for people to decide what others do and do not want to read. I'm cool with that if:

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Perhaps, but the thought exercise of what types of cards we would ideally want for a match-up serves two functions. One, it gives us a clearer sense of what sorts of things we can focus on without...

    Really? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I rarely lose to Delver. I would prefer the Nissa give us something to do against Miracles. I'm not quite sure what the right combination of abilities would be,...

    As I said, I'm skeptical. But for me that is no reason not to at least have a look. That being said, interesting to see that my intuitions are backed up by people who actually played such a version....

    Interesting. I am a bit skeptical, but will admit I have not played around with this configuration. I would want to goldfish some to be sure, but pretty sure that the mana generated from the Cradle...

    Why in the name of all things good would you cut Cradle in a *combo* build? Its by far the most combo-rific part of the deck.

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Funny part is that I didn't quite have lethal with the first Hoof and was basically locked next turn under Jitte. So it wasn't safe, so much as the the only way to win. It was also pre-board so no...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Thank you for writing this so I don't have to.

    I would only add that no one is saying that Ruric is a bad card, although Lemnear sounds like it. We're really just debating if G1 it's better to...
