This bothers me.

LOL you guys are hilarious.
Ain't nothing dynamic about Theros. The whole block is a goddamn abomination, and Wizards is straight up disrespecting us the whole year.Quote:

I would rather say: WOTC stop discriminate Tribal decks ^^
Gabe, Dan and Julian sure remember that I predicted the problem during our Skype-Conference, that outside of core-sets we won't see Elves printed due to WotC moving away from classic tribes in their expansions after Lorwyn was basically an Elves, Goblins & Fairies block.Quote:

Tbh the core with DRS, GSZ, Glimpse, NO, Cradle, Visionary, Symbiote and Quirion is already excellent and they did a huge job in freeing the concept from the summoning sickness dilemma which made me running concordant crossroads in the past, but unless they decide to give Symbiote an Elves subtype, I have a tough time to see any mayor changes coming which aren't the direct result of mass removal or an increase of combo-archetypes in total which could lead to MB discard or a midrange-focus.Quote:

As a goblins player, I don't feel like we have that issue in Elves. See you can just ignore a goblins player and do your own thing. Aside for hitting your mana, there was no interaction and the deck was not the fastest clock. With Elves you have the chance too combo turn two and that has to be respected. You have interaction on the sense that there are no small amount of "Answer or die" spells in the deck too.
While I see what you mean, I think right now we are not under the same risk. If anything, I think we are ok since DnT seams to be getting all the toys and we play hell on their plans.
aka infinite combo?Quote:

I'm going to play the Game Day version because I currently have no foils in my elves deck. When I get around to acquiring one. Also thanks, Danyul for allowing me to move into the modern era of Elves! I played the Sage maindeck yesterday, and absolutely hated it the one time i drew it (t2 against RUG). For me I'll leave it in the board and keep my Edric and Scooze maindeck.
Also, for those of you who haven't tried it yet, Sylvan Library is Necropotence in this deck. It's sweet in grindy matchups, and probably good in the mirror, which I am now 0-8 against in games.
Sylvan Library is generally going to be too slow in the mirror. Typically, whomever is on the play wins Game 1 (barring the other player having a faster hand). Postboard games add to that the element of Turn 1 discard. It's a rather degenerate mirror, in my opinion. If I was going to build to gain an edge in the mirror, I would be playing Priest of Titania, which basically makes all your Green Sun's Zeniths into bazookas.Quote:
