    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    I was never all that impressed with Archon, though I had similar experiences with Ruric Thar too. Playing Wren's Run Packmaster again has been a reasonable angle against those blue decks; it's...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    Sure, I'll bite too at trying to keep the thread alive.
    Celestial Purge is interesting in the board, I might have to keep some in my spares box just in case.

    I played this last week at our local...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    Solid list. No frills.
    Sideboard seems pretty straightforward too - lot of redundancy and aligns pretty well with the top 10 decks of the event.

    Brief Eternal Weekend writeup with my Death and Taxes list.

    Usually the gig is up when you fetch a turn one forest anyways, but I'd rather have the option to lay a Verdant/Misty and/or Deathrite and bluff BUG.

    I'm less enthusiastic about Packmaster due to Fatal Push, but it's probably still right to play if those are your common matchups. The card is still really good and it's still easy to overload their...

    Re: [Primer] Elves!

    - I'd play Basics over Shrine of Nykthos. The card seems very difficult to net any mana out of, I don't think the modern decks even play more than one or two and they're way deeper on devotion.

    Against dredge just make lots of mana and zenith for an ooze.

    There's no way I'd want to play all that extra grave hate.

    It was $40 entry in the Baltimore Convention Center. They put out at least a hundred table numbers and had ~8 judges or something, so I'm sure they weren't too satisfied with the attendance.
