Help: Eldritch Evolution in Elves?

Modern Deck Help forum

Posted on July 29, 2016, 3:31 p.m. by SubduedNut

I have a Gb Elves deck on paper, with no craterhoofs or other big threats. My win conditions are 2x Ezuri, Renegade Leader and 4x Shaman of the Pack

I can also beat down if needed.

So I pulled a promo Eldritch Evolution at my prerelease and didn't play it so it's still factory sealed. I'm tight on money so I don't want to open it if I don't have to. Please help me decide whether to put it in my deck, as I have a tournament coming up soon.

What are the pieces of card advantage in your deck? If you're on the Chord of Calling plan, then it's probably worth the include. If you're moreso Lead the Stampede Sylvan Messenger plan, then its not particularly impressive

I honestly see Eldritch Evolution as generally worse than either Collected Company or Chord of Calling in elves. It isn't an instant and it costs you a creature. Someone may break it at some point in modern, but I doubt elves is the deck to abuse it.

I'd flip it. You'll probably get a good haul for the foil, and I doubt any deck other than Elves and maybe Kiki Chord will be able to milk it for great value. Eldritch Evolution might be good, but I don't see much reason to hang on to a foil.

FULL DISCLAIMER: Never have foiled out a deck, never will.
