This is a spin-off of my first Karametra deck, Karametra, God of Armageddon. This deck runs with the same Armageddon-based premise, but with an Elfball focus.

Mana dorks were always the best cards in Karametra. The ability to always be able to immediately jump back into a game after Armageddon and get Karametra in play as soon as possible are both vital to this sort of deck.

The old version is a lot of fun, but is a bit too control-y. Not having the best tutors yet focusing on such a small core of non creature cards resulted in games that are too inconsistent for my liking. With a heavier focus on creature combo the tutoring becomes much easier and winning is possible even without seeing one Armageddon the whole game. Well that's the idea, at least.

Yes, this deck has a Wish board. I'm still tuning it to my exact needs, but basically I can put hard to tutor/situational cards here so the main deck can remain more focused.

I feel like I need more Regrowth effects, but I need some cuts first. I'm hoping the new creature focus will lessen the need for constant Armageddons.

I'm not sure Living Plane is as good in this version as the other. More Wraths make it better, but my heavier creature focus makes Wraths worse.

Heritage Druid is not in because I feel like she doesn't do a whole lot considering most of my elves already make mana.

I'm looking for any opinions, criticism, and thoughts as I try to tune this to be as competitive as I can. I don't believe Armageddon.dec is the most powerful use of Karametra, but I do think it crushes the other versions of her.
