Balaam__ I hadn't noticed this until today. A few things: love and admiration for another user mentioning Castlevania in any way. Some blush because I wasn't expecting not one but TWO whole decks that I directly influenced. Lastly, I'd recommend you look towards Legacy Elves builds because they tend to use a One-Of of the Abbey in order to close out games. Some of those lists include really great scaling cards like Elvish Warmaster and Shifting Woodland, both of which I'd recommend for mainboard here. You've already grabbed up Tamiyo's no-no spell, but Royal Treatment and Force of Vigor are two of my immediate recommendations for sideboard. I love love LOVE what I see here and thank you so much for bringing attention to Ormendahl. He deserves it! As always, Cheers! +1

I've taken into consideration several of those cards and did a bit of testing with Priest of Titania and a fetchable Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip. They seem to be more reliant and the disciple can be used during the massive amount of mana being gained to sacrifice Atraxa, Grand Unifier thus giving more cards and almost guaranteeing more combo cards or a Green Sun's Zenith to fetch Craterhoof Behemoth or Shaman of the Pack if they have not been drawn. This is in the spirit of combo elves more than any midrange option. Elvish Warmaster is nice, but that ability of triggering only once is not as impressive as Eladamri, Korvecdal being used as a card draw for top deck creature spells. I can still do more testing with Leaf-Crowned Visionary, but Rite of Harmony does give an almost similar effect to Glimpse of Nature with the downside of it needing to EtB. Both Rite and Leaf-Crown would be hit by Spell Snare but I can see an argument for the Crown if more Cavern of Souls are added.

I removed Evendo, Waking Haven since I was hoping they could be quickly turned into Gaea's CradleGC, but they are way too slow and having the restrictions of stationing at sorcery speed is a big hinder in case one needs to toss an elf in front of a creature.

The trickiest part of this has been messing with sideboards to combat weaknesses but for the most part the main is done minus a few cards I either missed when researching or an addition or removal of numbers of copies.

Idk what the current build of elves runs but Priest of Titania is way better than elvish archdruid. I also think it played Leaf-Crowned Visionary (I assume it still does because there haven't been any upgrades). Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip is a good utility land. Beast whisperer is a little slow. Atraxa is not worth as a GSZ target when all of your cards are creatures and lands besides GSZ. Iirc most lists also play Elvish Warmaster.

The deck is built on classic Elf synergies:

Ramp and lord effects via Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Imperious Perfect Token generation from Dwynen's Elite, Elvish Warmaster Buffs and anthem support from Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, Immaculate Magistrate, and Tyvar Kell

Main win conditions: Abomination of Llanowar – a giant trampling threat that scales with every Elf you control and in your graveyard Shaman of the Pack – drains opponents when you flood the board. Lathril, Blade of the Elves – can take over games by herself if she sticks Tall token swings – swarming with boosted Elf tokens can often close out the game

The sideboard currently serves as a thematic pool and an upgrade wishlist. I plan to: Add more copies of Shaman of the Pack Possibly include Ezuri, Renegade Leader for an alternative overrun finisher Improve the mana base (currently using tap lands like Golgari Guildgate and Golgari Rot Farm) Possibly include early ramp like Llanowar Elves for faster openings

This deck isn't meant for Modern tournaments — it's built for casual 1v1 play or relaxed multiplayer. It’s already effective at overwhelming the board and has lots of room for future growth. For me, it’s also a tribute to a beloved tribe and a deck that keeps evolving.

Thanks for posting, CommanderNeyo, always interested in your thoughts. I think those two could be candidates down the road if I ever revise this build, so I’ll go ahead and add them to the maybeboard. Elvish Warmaster offers some decent early game utility and can be valuable for a final push, and the latter has a potentially interesting method to stay afloat, although that casting cost makes me wince. I’m pretty set with the deck’s current iteration for now, so it probably won’t change anytime soon unless a ‘strictly better’ variation on an included card gets released. Thanks as always

Thoughts on Elvish Warmaster and/or Wolverine Riders? Not sure if their art is too bland for you, but they are quite fun!

Looks like one hell of a beater! Nice!

I would suggest getting rid of e.g. Wolfir Silverheart and get Elvish Warmaster and Wolf-Skull Shaman, both which spits out tokens left and right.

How do you deal with boardwipes and maybe not having too many cards left in your hand?

NonetheWeisser on Elvish Warmaster and returning it …

My Elvish Warmaster has triggered for this turn, and then is bounced to my hand. If I have the mana to replay it, will it be able to trigger again?
