Update 6: D&D, Adventures in the Forgotten Realms —Aug. 7, 2021
Add Circle of Dreams Druid, remove Paradise Druid. Another Elf that can go infinite with Staff of Domination? Yes please.
Add Torment of Hailfire, remove Overwhelming Stampede. Speaking of all that mana this deck produces, I might as well turn it lethal. I have elves who can do the same effect as Overwhelming Stampede, so I'm not concerned about cutting it.
Add Concordant Crossroads, remove Ochran Assassin. This deck can have explosive turns, flooding the board with Elves - it needs haste so they can attack immediately. Meanwhile, I liked what Ochran Assassin offered but cuts are tough and I need to make room for Concordant Crossroads. Obviously.
Add Arcane Lighthouse, remove Detection Tower. Slight upgrade.
Add Swamp, remove Blooming Marsh. Moving away from using the fast lands as they come into play tapped most of the time.

Really liking the build. Def a lot of inspiration for my own Lathril deck.
How are you finding your match ups? I tend to find mine is boom or bust. Any particular sticking points you are finding or match ups that are giving you issues?

Hi There, Patriarch's Bidding and Quirion Ranger are spoiled for Modern Horizons 2, these are nice reprints (Original prints from 2002 and 1997 respectively) and much, much more affordable than the current versions. Keep an eye out for those, they are really good in the 99.

Hey, you still playing Lathril? I've been having fun with a new Modern Horizons 2 card Sylvan Anthem. It's an anthem for Lathril and is amazing to set up your draws especially to scry all lands to the bottom.

Hi Romer,
Interesting take on elfball tribal. Have you thought of using Umbral Mantle to help with infinite mana combo? providing you have an elf that can tap for 4 mana (not too hard with Marwyn, the Nurturer or Elvish Archdruid), you will always net a positive mana outcome.
Also, whilst I know Big Hoof!!! is off the table, what about something like Decimator of the Provinces or End-Raze Forerunners? Combine any trample effect with a Binding the Old Gods (which is awesome and should be considered for your deck) final part of the saga, that interaction between Deathtouch and Trample is usually a game over situation.
Will be really interested to see all the changes you make. From 1 elf player to another, +1 all day :)
