    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    That's basically what I expected, I wasn't planning to put either in the deck, just curious what results people have had.

    I'm assuming the list in the picture above is the current standard? Looks...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    I've been running 3 Gaea's Cradle and 1 Crop Rotation for years (though I haven't played competitively for much of that time for what it's worth), and I honestly wouldn't change that to 4 Cradles...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I don't think this is wrong, but I think it's actually a slightly different deck. I think Shaman potentially opens up the ability to have two different builds of the elf deck. This new one is...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    There's nothing false about that, and I've done plenty of testing. Getting Ruric Thar removed in those situations (besides Karakas, I already admitted I missed that one) does not leave you in any...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Ok, I'll admit I overlooked Karakas. I stand by the rest of it, and they still have to naturally draw into that Karakas within a turn or two with no card draw or library manipulation.

    Also,...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    D&T is already a favorable matchup, I'm not worried about that one. I would say Ruric is still better than a non-lethal Hoof there, if only because he blocks Flickerwisps and Avengers all day long. ...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I strongly disagree that Ruric is only good in combo or burn matchups. If I have access to a GSZ or NO and Craterhoof is not fully lethal, I will go for Ruric no matter what the matchup and have...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Taiga probably wouldn't be replacing a Bayou, more likely a basic Forest. My list runs 2 Bayou, 2 Forest, 1 Taiga, and 8-9 Fetches, and it seems to work out fine for me.
    I have had exactly one game...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I agree that saying your opponent is always going to have the answer is unlikely, but every time you're actually playing the game in that scenario, you do kind of have to assume that they're going to...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Regal can never be actual lethal though, you just have to rely on drawing into something that does give you the win. Granted, if you're able to GSZ into him you'll probably draw enough cards to find...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    So the last couple times I have taken this deck out for a run, it seems like Glimpse of Nature has mostly just been a "G: Draw two" spell. I'm usually casting it very early just for a bit of value,...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I don't know about Goblins, but I beat Infect twice in a row at Indy this weekend. I run a build that splashes red for Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, which is fantastic against them. He is maindeck for...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    What would you say I need help with? In my (admittedly limited) experience, I'm weak against Chalice/Trinisphere as well as different flavors of Reanimator, so those hate cards have seemed...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    I've actually thought of Garruk Relentless as one of the best green Planeswalkers for Legacy. His tokens aren't as big, but he can serve as removal when needed and his flip side's tutor effect or...

    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Hi there. New to the forum, been playing Elfs for a number of months now, though I don't get to play Legacy often. I'm planning to play in the Legacy open in Indy this weekend, and just have a few...
