Reanimator plays chancellor and storm plays duress to disrupt you. So its nice to have a card that can’t be disrupted and can be turn zero wins. It is also fairly easy to cast. I haven’t lost to reanimator since I added it to

Against rea I trust you that llotv is much better.
Against storm, however, as about half of the cards we see are not from our openning hand, I tend to disagree.

So if your meta is infested by those pesky rea, then llotv is indeed the best choice. On a more open meta, I would prefer surgical.

How many people do you think scg has tricked into playing quirion sentinel?

Both are ok mu, I feel both are very even with the streamline SB that is 2-3 surgicals and 5-6 discard spells, I do not feel the need for LotV. I feel LotV is better on the RB reanimator and Dredge and as equal as surgical or worse on all other MU The thing is you need to mulligan until it comes to your hand, it doesn't shut down storm, if you mulligan to 4 and 1 is a LotV and I am with storm, I'm pretty ok with that.

the only problem about both mu is that their extremely explosive hands are hard to deal with, but their average hands with proper sb card, we can deal on the post-board games, trust me xD.

Hey you all, has anyone ever tried to build a Elves list with burning wish?

Don’t know, maybe a copy of NO and Glimpse on the sideboard, alongside of cards like Reanimate, Gleeful Sabotage, or some grind cards like Reforge the Soul or Living Death, just saying...

Oh, and of course some Blood Moon on tbe sidebord.

My Elves List for GP Seattle + SB Guide

This has been the by far most-requested article of the last years and I worked some overtime to finish it this week, just in time for the GP in Seattle!

Hi Julian,

First of all in the name of all the forum users, THANKS for this side guide.
Obviously, side and deckbuild are perhaps one of the most important aspects of the game.
Many wanted to see what were the Side choices of one of the best players of this deck and just for that, thank you!

after the thanks, I ask you a question about the Delver deck.
With my group of tests we are ultimanete arrived to have good results leaving inside the Natural Order and removing the Nissa (which we play in main).
Why you always remove NO, do not you think that leaving them is a good strategy?
Have you ever tried lately, to leave them inside on delver match and remove Nissa?

thanks again

Hi everyone, longtime Elves fan here.

I've never steadily played Elves but twin my close friends have played it for years so I do understand (and really do love) the deck.

As I play Masters 25 drafts on MTGO, I find myself asking if a Retraction Helix or two would work in this deck what do you guys think? I figure at worst it buys time and at its best it can be used with Nettle Sentinel to basically extend Glimpse chains. Is this too win more?

No more elves players here?

Wife is playing in a legacy League with Julian’s list from Seattle with a slightly modded sideboard. Her first weeks matchup is against Eldrazi with cloud/glimmer posts and grim monolith.

Any tips for her or how she should approach the matchup?

Thanks

feels like all the discussion moved to discord already

Why manage multiple discussion boards? This makes me sad.

Hey Julian, come on, the domain is closed ;(
and I just wanted to ask why do you actually play Nissa?

Wife is 2-0 with 2-1 wins over Eldrazi Post and Grixis.

Guess no more reasons to play Bayou

How much does the loss of DRS actually hurt?

Not all games end up combo wombo.

Some matches you have to grind. Against graveyard decks it hurts. Some matches a 1/2 body is relevant. Attacks around glacial chasm.

DRS was main deck disruption and reach for Elves.

I wouldn't say so, Decay is a pretty good Magic card.

Thoughtseize is still prime against combo too.

And Shaman of the Pack could return in the deck for some reach.
