    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Hey Blink, that's a big ask... I'd suggest you pop into the Discord channel for Elves and also read back about 20 or so pages (2017 forward). Echeleon's post, while a bit troll-ish, is generally...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    can someone explain discord to me? I'm old and slow to accept new things.

    (being serious)
    Is it just like skype for gamers...like just realtime voice chat for people with similar interests?

    Yea that's kind of a "me" thing. I bring 1-2 therapies in vs most decks just because I love it and feel it's a way for me to leverage format knowledge in otherwise tough matchups.

    Also, a tip on...

    sounds like you have some good self-analysis in that last thread. I'd stop letting it bother you and just move forward with that analysis (maybe playing ruric, saving 2nd glimpse, etc). Sounds like...

    This is unrelated to your question/conundrum; but you definitely shouldn't be letting the standstill player play draw go... as a rule of thumb, you should break standstill as soon as possible. So...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Agreed, despite not putting any copies into top 16; the deck felt amazing. Some minor tweaks to the sb to make it more resilient to czech pile, lands, etc (im thinking library) will go a long way.

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    I think if you have ruric main you can steal a game w/him. And generally speaking, ruric is good vs lands assuming they don't have the win on the table. The deck is only spells and lands...and they...
