Land Grant can be countered, severely neutering a deck that often only has 1 land in its hand.
ESG isn't played in most versions of this deck as far as I know - It's not very good, and it's an elf...
Ok, you make a good case I guess. I'll test it out. I don't think more than 2 are necessary because between Glimpse and the 2 you play, you shouldn't have much trouble finding one when you need to...
Ok, so let's discuss the merits of Chord of Calling then. It does seem nice, I'll admit, because it can a) Find the win b) Find missing combo parts, and c) Find Caller of the Claw postboard, which...
If that's the case, then we can assume that some combination of Hivemaster/Fecundicity are necessary in the sideboard to protect your army. If you've already drawn your deck, Hivemaster is probably...
I mean that I know it helps once you've gone off, but a) it's hit by counterbalance, b) it doesn't stop them from playing Counterbalane (it does for a turn I guess).
Oops, that's right. In that case it may be worth including a more solid kill, because Grapeshot/Witenss can be disrupted by just FoW + Stifle or 2 Stifles. Predator Dragon can kill any time which is...
Ok guys I'm loving this deck. It's ridiculously fast, consistent, and it never fizzles since you can just smash the next turn. I want to share my list and try to cement some things down:
7 Forest...
Personally I think that TA lacks the burn to finish what it starts often -- when it runs out of steam it does not have the reach to still win. In addition, Thrash plays Nimble Mongoose, which is...
I see your point, but I would argue that with this deck the thresh MU, which is the format's premiere deck, also becomes a creature war which can best be won by overwhelming thresh with massive...
I want to attempt to create a 'standard' elf list. I know that at this point that is impossible, BUT I do feel there's a framework a few necessary cards that should be laid out, and then their are...
This is the list I've been goldfishing...yeah. There isn't too much to say.
4 Heath
4 Foothills
9 Forest
4 Bayou
3 Llanowar Elves
3 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Wirewood Herald
There are many options, but there are two essentials, in my mind:
Pithing Needles - Pernicious Deed is the most scary card this deck can see.
Chalice of the Void - Wrecks Threshold, Combo, etc. I...
Hmm, that's understandable I guess. She has to be replaced with a blue card, however, so I guess that makes Hovergaurd the next best option?
Kira counters the first equip...so that means it costs :2: to equip Plating. I can afford that.
The creature is open to removal, sure, but they have to 2 for one themselves to kill it.
You're tight about Springleaf Drum - it was unnecessary as a 1 of and has been replaced by an Island. Plus, that list is missing 2x Chrome Mox. It actually looks like this: (I didn't have it in front...
I'm not saying that Note is good, just that it's better than LftL in threshold. In thresh you don't have the mana to spend each turn on a complex draw engine that you can't really abuse, since all it...
Yeah, if you want 2 cards that will help you get Thresh fast, play Mental Note. At least it instantly replaces itself and is a decent combat trick.
So I've been testing this deck and here's the list I'm at right now.
4 Seat of the Synod
3 Darksteel Citadel
3 Ancient Tomb
7 Island
4 Arcbound Worker
4 Ornithopter
4 Arcbound Ravager
It seems really strong except when facing FoW, right? Like, it makes Counterspells hurt again. Then again, you aren't playing DR much against Thresh anyhow, so that may be alright.
Hey guys, what's the standard moon thresh list these days? I assume it plays 3 Magus MD instead of Blood Moon, and has no Fledgling Dragons. Anyone want to help me out?
Wasteland is always going to be better than port...it's a much smaller mana investment, and they can still get off instants through Port. Port should function as additional wastelands if you play...
See, while Stax is good, it's also a really inconsistent deck that tends to lose to itself. I just 2-0'd blue stax last night (granted, blue is a supbar version, but still) playing UGr Thresh. He...
Depending on the meta, you could also play CB + Top, which is good against a lot of jank/combo/the Thrash mirror. It's probably not worth boarding in against thresh, where you only have room to bring...
Loaming Shaman seems like strong disruption that this deck could use. Then again, the MD is pretty tight, no? But I like him...just not over Perfect, Spawnwrithe, Goyf, or any of that stuff.
