    I think this deck is super interesting. I was already trying out CloudVine when this deck showed up. Still going CloudVine route but with Oppositions, but might try this deck straight if it doesn't work out.

    One word why this deck doesn't get decent results: Terminus :/

    Why should this deck care about it?

    Otherwise to me the deck looks so sweet. I would just look at a way to improve combo MUs.

    With that many Elves, I could see a singleton Birchlore Rangers add some value. An extra mana here or there can be crucial at times. Same goes for a Quirion Ranger.

    Re: Oracle Opposition

    I have played the deck in two local events here in NY.

    went 4-0 the first night, against
    eldrazi
    eldrazi
    merfolk
    infect
    (i had – 1 trop +1 Cradle for that night)

    last night I played it again, but cut 1 visionary for a 2nd symbiote
    made some sb changes this time as well (had played an extra surgical and a Marsh casualties… I can’t recall if I had the 4th abrupt decay in the sb this time. will have to look at the physical cards.

    went 4-0 again
    burn
    aggro loam
    miracles
    eldrazi

    i have been sideboarding differently in the eldrazi match-ups and miracles match-up than what Pierre has suggested in his library post.

    i had noticed that the deck is pretty mana hungry and the deck sometimes can fail on itself of you don't get 2 lands in play (and they hit a removal spell)

    edit : went through match history on modo.

    modo league 1: (2-3)

    list was pierre's 75 list exact

    0-2 elves (he trounced me)
    0-2 storm (he trounced me)
    0-2 infect (his draws were above average but he got there)
    2-1 standstill (i think his draws were okay, and i just cantripped too many times)
    2-1 reanimator (i had good draws)

    modo league 2: (2-3)

    i changed a few cards here.

    -1 visionary, -4 probe, -2 therapy
    +1 symbiote, +1 deathrite shaman, +2 winter orb, +2 thorn of amethyst
    sb had added a marsh casualties and a 4th abrupt decay (cutting 1 dismember and something else)

    1-2 infect (marsh casualties was an autowin during game 2. game 3 he brainstormed into invigorate when i was at 5 counters turn before opposition prison lock)
    2-0 ur delver (kept him off price of progress and abrupt decayed some guys)
    2-1 eldrazi (this matchup seems pretty favorable overall)
    1-2 bug nic fit (he had multiple deeds and wrecked me with cabal therapies. he also was the reanimator player i beat in the previous league so his blind therapies were good.)
    1-2 miracles (i think i made a few misplays here as i had thorn out game 3 and didn't sequence things properly with shardless agents.)

    I find aluren a stronger card.and does more than tutoring up 1 and losing 1.

    Re: Oracle Opposition

    I was confused by your list but now realize you meant to have 2 Parasitic Strix instead of 2 Baleful Strix.

    With that change, yes it makes sense why Aluren is better.
