I'll say it again that I'm really bummed everybody migrated to Discord. It might be a fine place to chat and shoot the breeze, but it's useless for searching past conversations or learning anything...

I thought you played nice and tight, and I love your Death and Taxes slow roll :-)

I'm curious as to why you think it was a mistake to eat the Probe when he cast Snapcaster. He would get to draw...

Discord has a place for instant chat, but it's absolutely horrible for finding information, reading past posts, or preserving anything. It makes me sad that it has been taking so much discussion away...

I've actually been running the Crop + Karakas plan that Julian has been playing and it has been working surprisingly well. I've won several games against Turbo Depths and Sneak and Show because of...

I've been thinking about this some more. Ezuri's Archer seems a bad idea because they'll usually have Pithing Needle and name Wirewood Symbiote with it. Crop Rotation is probably the safest, but I...

At our local Legacy tournaments there's always 2-3 people running Turbo Depths and I keep losing to it. Any tips on sideboarding and playing against it?

My list is pretty close to Julian's. I'm...

A local elves player turned me on to Sandwurm Convergence as an answer to Sneak and Show. Any thoughts about it? It seems insane if you manage to put it down in response to Show and Tell. I'm not...

Under what circumstances are you bringing in Ooze? I see you're cutting a Therapy to make room for it, so it clearly must be very important.

When I think about it, it seems too slow for graveyard...

Hmm... that's a good point. What if we go all in in that direction, got rid of the 3 Surgicals and something else, and added 4 Leylines of the Void? That would help a lot vs. Lands, Reanimator, and...

Any thoughts on Reid Duke's sideboard plan for Lands? (Crop Rotation, Wasteland, Karakas). I really wish he had been paired up with Lands in his league, but no luck.

Between Tabernacle, Glacial...

My boarding plan is:

+3 Surgical Extractions
+3 Thoughtseize
+3 Cabal Therapy
-4 Glimpse
-2 Elvish Visionary
-3 Wirewood Symbiote

The reasoning is that you're lowering your creature count...

Agreed. I just lost against Lands this weekend and that left me out of the top 8. I practiced against him several times, but it feels hopeless unless we combo in turn 3 (and he doesn't have Crop...

I'm seeing a lot of Lands pop up in the local meta to combat all the mid-range decks around.

It's a pretty bad matchup for us right? What's our best plan against them, try to combo as soon as...

Julian used to run 61 in the last Legacy challenge, but I'm only counting 60 here (my counting sucks, but I did count multiple times).

That makes sense! That would have helped a lot. I still have a long way to go learning this deck. Thanks!

I played Elves at a 160-person tournament this weekend and unfortunately didn't do well at all (2-4). I've had some surreally bad hands (mull to 5 against D&T, play 2 Sentinel Elves and draw all...

I just finished watching them. Great stuff as always. I love watching your games and hearing your thought process.

And lol at the Ulamog attack :-)

You mean as far as sideboard? How would you change it? Down to 2-3 Abrupt Decays and more discard, or did you have something more radical in mind?

My first thought is that all Miracles players are going to switch to 4c control. But I guess that's a slightly better matchup for us. Slightly.

I was thinking about the place of elves in the current meta filled with BUG/4c/Leovold decks and how Chaos Elves seems like it's a better fit.

I always read how Chaos Elves and NO Elves are kind...

I just got around to it. You said that you chose the Progenitus package because you expected lots of D&T, 4c Loam, and Eldrazi. What's the common thread to those decks that makes Progenitus better?...

Awesome. I'll watch them tonight.

Could you explain a bit about why you made the tweaks to the deck for this event? Specifically, why the Progenitus on the sideboard (you haven't used one in a...

Hi everybody,

Long-time combo player here, starting to play Elves. So far I'm loving it and I'm trying to learn as much as possible by reading the primer, this thread, and watching all of Julian's...

Or even a Faerie Macabre or two. Not only can they hit two targets (which you might need if they Exhume) but they also don't have to pay the tax from the Chancellor because it's an ability and not a...
