Hi,

I like your deck a lot! To my knowledge, Instill Energy deserves a place in the mainboard though, along with a card you have not considered yet but does the same thing: Nature's Chosen. Both are cheaper (free) to use than Magewright's Stone for instance. Furthermore, I prefer Soul of the Harvest over Regal Force but both are good so whatever makes you happy. Last but not least, I think Joraga Warcaller would fit well in here.

Cheers,

NV_1980:

I very much recognize Instill Energy's power, and I own one, but I like Magewright's Stone because if Yisan gets whacked over and over it sticks around to untap Karametra's Acolyte, Priest of Titania, et al to enhance the elf ball ramp strategy. I'm not actually trying to go that wide with elves as a true elfball deck--it's the backup strat for when Yisan can't get online. I'll ramp into my Yisan bombs or alphastrike with my mana dorks and Beastmaster Ascension or Craterhoof Behemoth, as opposed to using Lords and tokens.

If I was trying to be as optimized as possible instill energy would be in, along with Birds of Paradise and Utopia Sprawl but I don't mind a slow startbhere and there. Helps keep friends from hating the deck.

Joraga Warcaller would indeed be good though. Fits in nicely with what I'm trying to do with the elves, and I often have mana to spare.

I think I have a Soul of the Harvest lying around...
