Modern Elf Ball(ish)
Brain Freeze! it's in your colours, you can easily play 15 or more spells in one turn, and provides you with an alt win con. failing that, the trusty Coat of Arms will help your elves survive a Pyroclasm or other burn spell. With the amount of draw you have, you'll only need one copy of each in the deck.
one more thing... if you're playing against an opponent with board wipes such as Wrath of God, sideboard in Caller of the Claw. nothing beats the look on their faces when you slap it down after they think they've just hosed your deck.
This is a Modern deck, so Brain Freeze and Caller of the Claw are not legal, but I will try playing 1x Coat of Arms and see how it does. Thanks for the suggestion!
Many Modern legal cards are marked as only being Legacy legal. The admins are working towards fixing this problem from what I have heard.
I would take out the blue splash actually. Regal force just seems like a better draw engine, and you can fetch it up with summoner's pact, along with any other combo piece you would need. All the hinterland harbors do is lower the efficiency of your elves that rely on doing things to forests.
I understand the argument with Regal Force, but the mana production for Modern elves is nowhere near as great as Legacy elves, so I'm worried that it will take too long to get the draw going with such an expensive draw engine. I think that I will play test him as a 1 of with a few Chord of Callings, but I want to keep Distant Melody. The blue is extremely easy to splash for in this deck and the only cards I use that relies on an actual forest is Arbor Elf and Scryb Ranger. You never open with Hinterland Harbor, so you will always have at least 1 forest.
I'll switch Distant Melody for Chord of Calling and Joiner Adept for Regal Force and see how it plays. Thanks for the suggestions!
Elvish Visionary? Summoner's Pact? Fauna Shaman? Dryad Arbor?
