There are so many Ezuri builds that I have no idea whether there is a 'right' way to do it. When the Freyalise Commander Deck came out I knew there was no point in purchasing one because I already owned about 80% of those cards and then some.

I know that this deck is nothing original, I just want to keep tabs on this one... but if anyone does have a few recommendations to this one then I am more than willing to hear them.

UPDATE: after the 20 Life Announcement for Duel Commander, Sachi sadly is no longer able to keep up. Ezuri is her successor. deck-large:eldrazi-love-music-edh

How to Play

This deck is probably not the typical aggro deck you'd expect from the Elves Archtype but it is very stable to survive a control/removal heavy meta environment.

Win Conditions

• Pump the field with either Craterhoof Behemoth, Allosaurus Shepherd or Finale of Devastation
• use the abilities of Ezuri, Renegade Leader or Elvish Warleader with an infinite Mana Combo

Infinite Mana Combos: (The Mana Dorks need to reach a point where they generate 4 or more mana each!)

• Combo Dorks: Elvish Archdruid, Karametra's Acolyte, Priest of Titania, Immaculate Magistrate + Marwyn, the Nurturer , Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary or Wirewood Channeler
• Combo Enablers: Staff of Domination, Sword of the Paruns, Umbral Mantle

Evasion Tricks

• Elvish Champion + Song of the Dryads
• Eladamri, Lord of Leaves + Verdant Mastery or vice versa

Spot Removal Protection:

• Eladamri, Lord of Leaves is a fantastic protection to your field against removal, BUT if he's on the battlefield remember that you cannot equip your creatures OR regenerate elves with Ezuri. (Duplicant is a great (tutorable!) answer to Eladamri if you locked yourself out of an infinate mana combo)

• Swiftfoot Boots, either for Eladamri, Ezuri or one of the Combo-Dorks to give them haste for a speedy takedown

Board Wipe Protection

• Soul of New Phyrexia to prevent, Realmwalker to recover, Vanquisher's Banner (currently in maybe)
• Heroic Intervention

Why is this in the Deck?

• Mirage Mirror can double as a Mana Dork copy to get just that last Elf you need for the 4 mana cap with semi-haste. Since it's ability isn't limited to your own field you can also nab some value or big blockers from your opponent's field.
