[Primer] Elves!

[Yanley]

I think the point of having Ruric Thar is simply to have an answer against the worst matchups of elves (combo decks especially ANT and TES). It's more of a meta-based decision if one wants to utilize Ruric. Since my meta has people playing combo decks all the time, I find Ruric more of a beneficial utility creature than a liability in competing against these decks. If you wish to fight the combo decks by hoping to just having the faster hand then I guess that's fine. Mainly, it fills the same role as having a maindeck Scavenging Ooze or a Viridian Shaman in having an out against specific matchups that otherwise you might have difficulty with.

Alright.
Spring is coming after the harsh Canadian winters and I'm out of my igloo to teach you what my reclusive winter brought me.
I've read a lot of the post, and had to restrain myself not to comment.
Ruric Thar MD; Metagame dependant? Yay and Nay. In a blind meta, he's in. In a known meta, it's debatable. End of argument.
3 or 4 Natural Orders? : 3. If you feel like 4, sure.
Should I ask Julian to sign my deck? Why not? All the bitches are running after him. Just be one of the bitches.
Viridian Shaman MD? : Yep. Im 100% behind it.


But in all honesty, I was hoping that our beloved green dudes would stay under the radar for another month or two.

@Julian : Found a foil to send you back ;)

Now you got me at the edge of my seat, man!

Who knows? Next tourney I might play my U/R Delver deck. I actually just ordered a Snapcaster Mage which I will pick up in the LGS when I go to there.
It's not an awesome build, if I pick up some Steam Vents in between then and now I can put my 4 Wirewood Foothills in there. Yeah, no, it won't be the most competative deck in the field, but in that case I won't be playing Elves! :D

Oh. I might add I sort of won that Snapcaster Mage (and a few uncommons) by piloting Elves to #1 this sunday. :)

Time for an update!

Spent 4 hours in the chair last Saturday.
The leg still hurt a bit.
But jeez. Can't wait for it to be done!

[Dice_Box]

That still amazes me. You are nuts, but it looks dam sick all the same.

[Togores]

Wow sweeet.
Full of collors it will look awesome.
But... I see the DRS and LLanowar. But what card is the Girl?

I'm looking for another NO target besides Progenihoof, what would you guys recommend?
TES/ANT is literally nonexistent in my playgroup, so Ruric Thar is a more debatable choice I guess.
Currently thinking about Hornet Queen or Terastodon but additional suggestions would be appreciated.
I like the queen for eldrazi defense and air superiority, it also plays well with cradle but is rather defensive.
The elephant has a lot utility but often fails to make its offensive pressure matter.

Why you want a third one in the first place? Whats your meta look like if combo is not a big player?

[Sylphnir]

My meta is a bloody mess. To give an example here are the 15 decks of our last meeting:
Ally/Sneak&Show/Pox/Lands/Affinity/Reanimator/RUG Delver/Turbo Eldrazi/MUD/Overburden Bounce/Miracles/Bird Token/Elves/Dragon Stompy/Goblins.
Problem is we often don't play multiple games vs the same opponent but rather battle royale style multiple opponents in short succession and ocassionally even mix in multiplayer.
Because of this sideboarding is less relevant but the mainboard needs to be as flexible as possible while still being consistent.

Given that you play really differently I'm not sure it would help you a lot, but I always play 1 Hoof / 1 Regal Force MD (and 1 Ruric MD or SB, 1 Proge SB).
Regal is really good, a bit easier to cast/GSZ than behemoth, and I do not remember the last time I lost after it hit play.

Talking about at Regal Force again? I feel like I did nothing else in 2013. Card is pointless.


@discussed metagame:
So you do not play matches but single games only?? I would play Belcher then ;)

I see Disfigure, let me know how you like them

[Togores]

To Meciek Berger.

Im going to play tomorrow your list from the BOM.

2 questions^^

Any changes that I should made?


Was only 1 basic forest good enought? Im littl worried about this.


Thanks

[Yanley]

Perhaps the other possible NO targets are Worldspine Wurm and maybe.... Elderscale Wurm? :s

[Yanley]

I've run maindeck Terastodon but it's more of a metacall. I believe it is terrific against fringe decks like MuD and Turbo- Eldrazi but terrible against dredge and delver decks.
