    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    My point is maybe there are more productive ways for you to spend your time than shouting down everyone who likes something you don't like with unhelpful hypotheticals. Just because cabal therapy...

    Fine. If nissa is actually uncastable in that scenario, what spell is actually castable after a terminus>counterbalance or terminus>Jace that both swings that board state into a reasonable one and...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    It seems to me like you're demanding that the people who play nissa justify their choices to you, or convince you to run her, which I disagree is anyone's job. Its not necessary that people in an...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    Yeah, I have always found dredge to be one of our better matchups. Unless they have a super-fast iona we are just faster and make a lethal board better. If you are really having problems or seeing it...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    Fair. I figure if the only maindeck blue is the Oracles in Chaos Elves, you can jam like 2 trops (going down to 1 Bayou, since you won't be relying on black sideboard cards as much) and also have the...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    I'm planning to give the Opposition list a try, but I don't have the Usea so I'm cutting it for a fourth Trop probably. I also don't have Thorn of Amethyst, but I actually think putting forces in the...

    I feel like if Lands is big I'll definitely want the Ooze. Maybe I'll cut my planeswalker instead.

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    I'm a fan of those lists as a budget option, but I like running 1 Emrakul and 1 Concordant Crossroads. It makes your Priests/Archdruids (if you're running them) way more potent and increases your...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    I actually find Reanimator to be a pretty even matchup with DRS, unless they are making a Turn 2 Elesh Norn on the play. Last weekend I won the matchup 2-0, including a successful race against Iona...

    I gave Chaos Elves a try last weekend and felt pretty disappointed with the build. Packmaster wasn't that good for me in the matchups I had (admittedly, he got hymn'd away against Shardless BUG)....

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I think Miracles and Storm are bad matchups but not as bad as the trainwreck that is Show and Tell matchups. This build gives us Teeg against Sneak, though.

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Those were some pretty brewy brews. Good matches! I wonder what the round 3 guy was playing. I didn't like the Zenith for Ranger against Delver game 1, I would have gotten symbiote there. He still...

    Oof. That's quite a spew unless entry fees were ~$50. Kind of story that makes you worry about Legacy.

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Wish the sound worked. Did you just miss the line against the Show and Tell guy to bounce Griseldad and attack for lethal or were you playing around something?

    Why is it unfortunate that we have an actual relevant card that we can play instead of having to slot garbage pump spells into the deck?

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I used to play a combo-centric version of the deck that had Living Wish and Summoner's Pact in the pre-Craterhoof days, usually fetching Emrakul and Regal Force. I don't think it's good in the...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Gideon costs 4 and his -4 gives an emblem. Probably unreasonable to get it as -2 on a 3CMC walker.

    Fair enough, maybe I just haven't played the matchup enough. I definitely haven't seen a game 2 Wear//Tear yet, though.

    The double Dryad Arbor is actually a fairly recent thing with the deck. When people first started mixing NO Elves with Combo, most people played the second arbor in the sideboard and only brought it...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I won a grinder at GP Seattle with elves, but went 1-3 off my byes in the main event. I also went 4-1 in a Sunday legacy side event, losing to storm (with a bonehead misplay in Game 1).
