[Primer] Elves!

[Julian23]

I remembered. The stupidest thing I (we) ever did was to put Pact of Negation into my friend's Hypergenesis deck because we didn't have any FoWs left.

[Capt4in]

If I was looking for green, hexproof and castable, I'd be looking at Sigarda. Or, if you want to do lulzy things, Simic Sky Swallower, but that gets too expensive.

Sagu Mauler lets you trick people with your Birchlores!

[EEk1TwEEk]

Why do we even need something with hexproof and castable, ffs?
Progenitus is so good btw
You can cabal therapy yourself if you draw it

What matches do you board in cabal Therapy and Progenitus?

[toletole]

just wondering if someone tried a couple of Living Wish in the main. Thoughts?

[Dice_Box]

And cut what form the main and side to fit it? GSZ is more or less what your after in that regard.

Shardless sometimes
I name brainstorm at the start of the game and toxic deluge later.

I was thinking something like -1 Sylvan Library -1 Llanowar Elves (or something else, could be Nettle Sentinel) for 2 Living Wish. I think it could be nice a mini toolbox in the Side.. Karakas Bojuka Thalia Canonist

[MASTICATOR_NORD]

Yeah it doesn't win you the game but it makes it more comfortable maybe I just thought about it because I hate Progenbitus so much because the damn snake loves it to chill in my hand.

I couldn't get any better creature with hexproof in my mind to take over the Progenitus slot.

Just wanted to hear some thoughts from you guys.

What about Plated Crusher? It has hexproof, is castable, and can't be chump blocked since it has trample.

I used to play a combo-centric version of the deck that had Living Wish and Summoner's Pact in the pre-Craterhoof days, usually fetching Emrakul and Regal Force. I don't think it's good in the current incarnation of the deck, though.

Yeah it's so good

Went 7-2 in the Legacy Main Event at the MKM Series in Madrid. Once again. Short off Top8 in 12th place :-(

Here's the list I played:



Anyways, these were my matchups:

R1: Death & Taxes, 2-0 WIN (Michael Bonde)
R2: 4c Loam, 1-2 LOSS
R3: Merfolk, 2-0 WIN
R4: UWr Vial Moon FaeryBlade, 2-0 WIN
R5: UWg Combo-Control Lands, 2-0 WIN
R6: 5c Punishing MentorGoyf, 2-1 WIN
R7: RBGw Jund, 2-0 WIN
R8: BUG Delver, 0-2 LOSS (Feature Match)
R9: Reanimator, 2-0 WIN
7-2 for 12th place out of 269.

The Day before I also played in the Big Legacy Trial:

R1: ANT, 2-0 WIN
R2: Sneak Show, 1-2 LOSS
R3: Elves, 2-0 WIN
R4: 4c Delver, 2-0 WIN
R5: Reanimator, 2-0 WIN
R6: UWb EsperMentor, 1-2 LOSS
Got paired down in the last round against a guy who couldn't draw.

Overall, the deck and sideboard felt really, REALLY good. Only things I would touch as of right now are the 2 Chokes in the sideboard that can be adjusted to whatever you wanna address the most.

[square_two]

Any odd matches where the Chokes shined? I know that you normally advocate for Krosan Grips, at least against Miracles. Seems you avoided them both days though!

Liking it thus far except for the Ruric that gets stranded in hand. Will probably SB it or make it another Hoof or something. Ooze to SB for another Birchlore might also be a thing.

[Lord_of_Rivendell]

I've noticed several people toying around with Dwynen's Elite. How are people finding that card? What are it's upsides in terms of how our deck plays?

[thefringthing]

Here's the list I played

Nice ten-digit DCI number. I guess you haven't been playing very long? ;)

[Tormod]

Nice ten-digit DCI number. I guess you haven't been playing very long? ;)

My dci# is 6 digits

Longer than most people who post here ;-) Started somewhere around Tempest/Urza's Saga.

What do you guys think about the Grixis Delver (3-4 stifle) matchup? I've never played it, but I assume it's at least as hard as RUG Delver, and much worse postboard. Is it as tough as I think it is?

[elFinFas]

I think that is a good matchup for elves!
Easier than RUG
:-)
