Budget Elf Deck Wins

Since Gyre Sage doesn't evolve from Archdruid thanks to stupid triggering rules, I think you'd be better off taking it out and replacing with Elvish Visionary . If you do this (which you don't have to, Forced Adaptation and Increasing Savagery are pretty decent in this combo; I just don't think it's worth it), consider Revenge of the Hunted and Slaughterhorn . He makes for a good 3/2 body or a makeshift creature version of a Giant Growth .

Another fun option would be to get rid of the Sorceries and add some Primal Surge .

would you add Primordial Hydra in there as a 2-of? or is this just a pure elf deck?

Pure elf deck. :)

have you tried playing thisi at a local match? like fnm or something? how did it fare if you did?

Try Greenside Watcher . It wouldn't be the best ramp, but it's elf ramp and would allow you to stick Gruul Guildgate s in there for Madcap Skills and Alpha Authority instead of Descendent's Path and Increasing Savagery ? Getting Savagery out of your deck will allow Primal Surge to proc; and Madcap + Alpha Authority makes your creature a +3/+0 Hexproof Unblockable. Also, hitting a Primal Surge on that Descendent's Path is kinda bad.

Don't listen to ipsine. Descendant's Path is amazing in a tribal deck. Also don't dilute the deck with red. You have elves, and the singular purpose is what makes this type of deck strong.

Also, if you're going to play Primal Surge, don't run anything other than permanents. No other sorceries. You want to own the game as soon as it gets cast.

I built this deck and it works great, but Supreme Verdict is a big problem because there is no safe guard for it. What can I add to not lose every-time it's cast?
