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...
Solid list. No frills.
Sideboard seems pretty straightforward too - lot of redundancy and aligns pretty well with the top 10 decks of the event.
21 R/U/G Delver
18 Death and Taxes
16 Stoneblade...
I'm not sure what he draws with it matters more than the 2 life the probe costs.
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.
Pithing Needle/Surgical on my fetches comes up...
Maindeck as well.
Gotta save space for the Penumbra Spider in the board. Real man's Silkweaver.
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...
- 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.

I've been playing a single disfigure in the board for the longest time, fatal push takes that slot for me.
That's quite the list. On the plus side the games you lost would probably be rough for any elves list.
I just can't see playing so few t1 mama-producing lands - I'm with you on cutting a rec sage,...
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.
Played Elves at the 65 person Legacy Quarterly at Giga-Bites Cafe in Georgia last weekend.

Awesome to hear that you're having success with Chaos Elves, I'll certainly be trying to better get a feel of it in local testing.
In the mean time though I Top 8'd the MTGFirst Quest for Power #5...
This is the same experience I had at that 5k at the end of January, and the reason I'll be playing with Order tomorrow in a win-a-mox.
It's a matter of closing out games. The Orderless decks just...
THANKS FOR THE LINK, SHAG. ;)

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.
Played something along the lines of Julian's Order-less list today at a 91 person 5k in Baltimore, Maryland.
Went a rather disappointing 2-2-1 (dropping before the last two rounds to just relax and...
I wish The Source has some deck formatting tags, but this is what works best for me in the mean time.

Natural Order probably gives you more "oops I win" draws.
Yep sounds like the perfect store for mainboard chalice, rest in peace, spirit of the labyrinth, and probably containment priest.
4 Dredge players... wow, that might actually be more players on...
Missed this is the excitement of a Dig-less world (I think my local store is going to try and put as many Digs on camera this week as possible just to laugh at it).
Thanks for the info Jason, I...
