Elderscale means that a select few matchups are simply free wins. Dredge and Burn are the main ones. Lands too? Means 20/20 does nothing except block, and it takes a bit to PFire a 7/7 in a single...

There's a reason I've been trying out Opposition lately in place of NO :cool:

Hope he doesn't mind me answering :)

Imagine you are playing against Storm, and you can manage to get this Leopold or whoever out. Storm proceeds to storm off, cantrip, make you discard, and goes...

Anyone have luck playing with Winter Orb? I tried 3 in my 75 tonight at my local legacy 4 round event and split finals with the other undefeated guy. 1 main, 2 side. Really saw it throw a wrench...

Doh. Got me there. :tongue: I'm a tad rusty on Elves as of late but I like to keep up with any development.

Do you mean GSZ ramping into Arbor? Or Shardless?

Because you can't cascade into Dryad Arbor.

It's definitely very Shardless-like. The Garruks are probably additional hedges against Miracles, and are also a brilliant win-con due to the easy ult and lot of creatures. I've seen him do work in...

I would say it is a different version of both cards. Viable in the right setting - the lack of color restriction is huge. Probably not here since there is nothing to connect it to Craterhoof, and...

Usually the goal is to put Visionary -under- WRP which you can't do using this.

I'd always considered Cradles as pretty good investments...reserved list status plus, I mean, Wizards can only continue to print creatures right? Or do you think that the general down-trending that...

Small situations might crop up where you should sandbag small, increasingly useless creature or two in hand in case you draw into a glimpse. But that's not going to happen very often, and usually if...

I'd love to see a thorough sideboarding guide for Elves. I feel like a competent player, except for when it comes to sideboarding.

Anyone have extensive experience with Blood Moon? I tried that...

Yes, as soon as the opponent draws the miracle card, there is a miracle trigger which goes on the stack and can be responded to. The card is in their hand and if it is removed from their hand in...

Seems like the right track to me. Elves seems to either board in anticipation of grindy games or combo fast games.

Against Miracles, usually best bet is to shave off on the combo aspects and keep...

I believe Warping Wail will see some play. It -does- kill DRS along with a ton of other pesky legacy staples, kills anything power or toughness 1 or less. And there is usually at least a turn to...

Any odd matches where the Chokes shined? I know that you normally advocate for Krosan Grips, at least against Miracles. Seems you avoided them both days though!

Birchlore Rangers morph on the stack will have CC of 0. Does that mean that a revealed land from Counterbalance would counter it?

-this is more of me wanting to know just in case than me trying to...

I had a great time in Seattle. Mox House was packed Thursday night, I had a couple wins and then took a draw for some store credit. Restaurant/bar was super and it was nice getting to meet up with...

I assume you'd rather have a Cavern show up against Miracles than a Pendelhaven, though. Unless I'm just misunderstanding how important Pendelhaven can be.

I've really enjoyed this discussion, thanks danyul and others. I love the play-by-play and I feel it's opened up my eyes a bit on the strategery side of things. Only a couple more weeks until GP...

Anyone have experience running singletons like Terastodon, Woodfall Primus, Sylvan Primordial?

I'm guessing that Rec Sage does enough of an adequate job to combat enchantments and artifacts. Only...

Well, I was more wondering what specific cards or early plays these decks might have T1 or T2 that would indicate they would be on a graveyard plan. I might just need to go get more match experience...

So...I was mulling over early Deathrite plays while I was driving into work.

I'm finding that my typical turn layouts go something like this:

T1: Start either with Nettle (great with...

I was thinking about this style of deck - definitely more of a Glimpse deck. Has anyone tried a version that goes even more all-in with Glimpse, such as running 1 or 2 Beck//Call in the main and...

I played at GP Oklahoma City this past weekend and was able to go 2-2 in a legacy event on Sunday. There were around 100 players. 4 matches isn't much, but it was my first legacy tournament so I...
