    Re: [Deck] Elves!

    Pyroclasm slows us down more than Searing Blaze. Just watch out for Ruric Thar postboard... Elves players with him in the side are going to try to resolve NO ASAP.

    Decay is significantly better than any of the cards you suggested. The can't be countered part of Decay makes it excellent against all of their soft counters, and all of the cards you suggested can...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    The white or blue splashes are something to consider but there is no consensus currently about which is better. I'm currently GB only.

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    Amusing. Very specific hate there. Was this main deck? I can't imagine they ran more than 2 copies... I'd just hope to hit it with discard next time.

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    It isn't so much TNN hate, but deck choices to combat the TNN decks. More Dredge, TES/ANT, and new decks like Jund Depths are either too fast or really hateful against our strategy. At least that...

    I don't get how ESG is better at making mana than Heritage Druid, or why you even run Glimpse if you forego Heritage, or why Birchlore would be run with no splash over Heritage. You absolutely need...

    Re: [DTB] Elves!

    The better question is if Elves is viable in your meta. If your local game has a lot of those types of decks then it might be advisable to play something else for the time being. Decks get better and...

    Really...what made you change your mind, Julian? A month ago we were anti-Envelop/Swan Song and now everyone wants it. Swan Song strikes me as a card that is pretty narrow in comparison to...

    That's exactly what my post-Savannah-less mana base would like, so I'll probably make the change whenever I can get to a small event for testing. I've admittedly haven't played since the GP since...

    I think Regal Force would be better at maintaining CA vs. sweepers than Bane.


    Side Note: How many people are moving away from the white splash? Pridemage is the only thing holding me back...

    As Dice said, no more Crop Rotation due to legendary rule change. The deck also doesn't need Regal Force anymore as Hoof usually wins when you have high creature counts that make Regal Force useful....

    The problem with Gavony is that it only produces mana for less than half of the spells in our deck. You would actually have to replace real cards for Township AND run some Birchlore Rangers, both...

    Any previous Elves list aggroed better than the current list tbh. If Entity was green I would have actually played that iteration of the deck. I love the NO list because we have gone from 4...

    Ruric Thar MD only seems to be a choice where you expect lots of Storm. I guessed correctly that Storm would show up at Legacy Champs and not GP:DC, so I played it MD in the former and SB in the...

    So how do you feel about Envelop? Am I correct in thinking this is a combo hate card that is a little more flexible vs. decks with Show and Tell?
