That's a straw argument if I've ever heard one. The point was clearly not in regards to what card can be played instead of morphing angel.

The point was that exalted angel eats up two turns of...

I don't understand how your testing doesn't support my statement, that we should be be playing the opening list but with fewer land and snuff out to make room for 8 discard (4 Duress and 4...

That could work.

But for now, I am replacing Exalted Angel with her and am not running a playset.

She is at her best 5/5 flying lifelinker when attacking by her lonesome self.

Why do you prefer Karn to this, or Exalted Angel?

Yes Karn turns Smokestacks, Crucibles and Trinispheres into 4/4 and 3/3 beaters for one mana each. And it blows up opposing Mox and Artifact...

I am not ashamed to admit I was wrong.

I proxied up and tried out the new Angel, and I'm impressed.

Not having to eat up two of your turns to play it is a big boost against aggro. That means...

Proteus Staff is probably too slow but still probably worth trying because Collassus is a beast.

But I think you can use Proteus Staff far better than you currently are.

My thought is...

Nantuko Shade and Snuff Out can be cut to 3 ofs to make room for 2 Reanimate. Neither is a card that you like seeing multiples of.

But to cut Snuff Out down to 3, and also to...

I don't think Seal is a bad card by any means. It's a fantastic card. There just seem to be cards that are more versatile, that also let you kill opposing goyfs (putrefy) and synergize better with...

I'm wondering if the discussion on running Reanimate and the white splash in Eva Green would make more sense in this thread.

Some people have posted on the Eva Green thread that they would like...

Great post 4eak.

I agree with most of what you said, except regarding Vial and Drum.

Drum is not bad in multiples.

Vial is now suddenly too slow to me.

I find myself wanting to drop the...

Sorry if my previous post came off as harsh.

I was just all amped up when I read the article's title that it would cover some of the new tech that's being discussed with Eva Green. Please do try...

Yes, the consensus seems to be that Exalted Angel is better.

And I agree, Exalted Angel IS better.

The number one function of Exalted Angel is stabilize your lifetotal against fast aggro decks...

Why did you completely ignore the actual evolution that has been going on in the Eva Green thread in an article about the evolution of Eva Green?

That's false and you know it.

The only reason the rock doesn't run Putrefy is because Deed is straight up better in a deck designed around it. Eva Green can't support deed.

In addition, a lot...

Yes, I can't help but feel that not running Vanquishers and Talara's Battalion is a mistake.

I just feel like the thread is misnamed.

Elf Aggro implies that this is a very aggressive build of elves.

I think such a list should have more in common with this list...

This decks threats are significantly faster than Thresh's and Eva Green's threats. In fact, the deck is so fast it's practically a combo deck.

Thresh (and sometimes Eva Green) won't win without...

Also, lets not forget that Exalted Angel eats up two turns of mana.

This costs one more mana than Exalted Angel costs to unmorph, a colorless mana at that. But it saves you from having to use up...

Nice.

Thank you for trying Reanimate instead of just going by gut instinct.

I suggest trying Putrefy in place of Seal.

It hits Jittes, Moxen and what not.

It lets you cut down to 3 Snuff...

Anyone have any thoughts on Rushing River. I find it to be awesome and an automatic two of in most builds. Do you guys share that sentiment or no?

Well that was my point. 22 mana sources is really the bare minimum (and even then makes it hard to play UU cards like Sower). Yet, most people these days seem to be skimpting and playing with just 21...

This strategy looks like it does have potential. Not neccesarily to combo out but to speed up elves in general.
