Thread: Kaysa Glimpse Elves

  1. #1

    Kaysa Glimpse Elves

    It's designed to be like Glimpse Elf Combo/Beatdown in EDH. The biggest concern is maintaining immunity to Wrath effects (even though the local playgroup is short on them).

    Taunting Elf will become a Joraga Warcaller as soon as I put my hands on one.

    I will totally trade you a Joraga Warcaller if you are at BF tonight. I have regular nonfoil and release foil.

    Re: Kaysa Glimpse Elves

    Why no Summoner's Pact? And I think you have Coat of Arms listed twice.

    Re: Kaysa Glimpse Elves

    I don't want to cast Summoner's Pact and die to any removal spell.

    Monument is really exciting, and one of the reasons why I haven't cut Nissa Revane yet. It's a great answer to Wrath. I had Jolrael, Empress of Beasts but it was such a pain casting it, keeping mana and cards in hand, and waiting a turn.

    In particular, am I missing any good Elves?

    I think you missed Wren's Run Vanquisher. Deathtoutch is really nice for only 2 mana. In that same thought, I would also like to suggest Thornweald Archer, it almost serves as a green Terror. I played them a lot in Survival Elves and both worked really well. In Legacy, the 3/3 is a beast, but in EDH where people have more life and creatures are bigger overall, I think the Thornweald would function better actually.

    Depending if you really want to play combo elves, or you also want to try to play a little slower, I've always been satisfied with Heart Warden as a mana supplier. Sure it costs 2, but drawing a card when you really need to chumpblock is a handy feature to have around.

    Overall, the list seems pretty solid.

    Edit: I don't know the decks you face off course, but I always seem to face decks which pack Goblin Sharpshooter, you might want to consider Eladamri to counter it.

    Only 632 cards left for a full Korean set, over 69% done (last update 05/27)
    Always looking for sealed product!

    Re: Kaysa Glimpse Elves

    Where is top?

    Aluren is a must in an elf deck.

    Umbral Mantle let you have infinite mana if your elf can make 4 or more.

    Re: Kaysa Glimpse Elves

    Aluren I might add.

    I chose not to add Sword of the Paruns/Staff of Domination/Umbral Mantle. Winning that way isn't fun.

    Not sure if I like Wren's Run Vanquisher or Thornweald Archer. I'd thought of them before, but they just get into combat. That's somewhat unexciting.

    Re: Kaysa Glimpse Elves

    Why Kaysa over Vig? Even if you're not trying to Elfball, being in blue lets you do really tricky stuff (for example, Opposition allows you to make all of your creatures infinitely big with Umbral Mantle by tapping down the opponent's team).

    Style. I decided I wanted to be monogreen.

    Although having access to a Lord on command is sort of exciting to beat things like Shard Phoenix.
