Tuning in the Druidcraft —April 23, 2018

I replaced wilt-leaf leige with khamal, fist of krosa.

I like the anthem-giving elf a ton, but every time I have her in hand, I feel more inclined to play heavier hitting spells. Maybe the new guy will see play punishing the elves' enemies for sweeping the field.

Now if I can just shoe-horn Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

Sweet deck! I really like the whole untap theme you have going on.

Gavony Township is a great utility land to help buff up your team, and once you get going you should easily have the mana to do other stuff on your turn and activate township. Joraga Treespeaker is a great way to make all your elves generate mana, getting more mileage out of your untap effects.

Return to Dust and Sylvan Reclamation are two pieces of artifact/enchantment removal that I greatly prefer to Unravel the Aether. While they're much more expensive, I feel that the power of them, and the utility on reclamation, outweighs the increased cost.

Finally, I feel like Uncage the Menagerie would do neat things in this deck, especially with a haste enabler on the board. You could get more mana generation and some utility creature to increase the power of untapping your board. To go with this, you could add some creature-based untap effects in Village Bell-Ringer and maybe Great Oak Guardian, though the guardian is pretty mediocre.

@ThallionDarkshine: thanks for the feedback! I'm trying to optimize the deck to perform with either Rhys and Selvala at the helm, and an untap theme suits both of them.

I didn't realize Gavony Township was about $5. That wouldn't be a bad plan.

I have a Joraga Treespeaker somewhere. In fact, I think it was in the first iteration of the deck, way back when it was mono-green with Yeva, Nature's Herald at the helm. Anyway, I think the deck would really appreciate the ramp.

As far as Uncage the Menagerie, I don't usually turn down a tutor, especially here.

I'll hold off on the bell ringer for now. Thanks again for the feedback!
