An-Havva Inn

Gain X+1 life, where X is the number of green creatures in play.

I love the folksy flavour of this deck — I have the sitting version of Folk of An-Havva and an An-Havva Inn on hand, so tried this out, and actually won a few games! It was perilous, and it came down to setting up a wall of defenders, and slowly through attrition, Wanderlust saved the day.
As far as tweaking the deck, I was trying to think of similar ways to set up a solid defence, that would also work with the overall theme and fair-tale aesthetics — had me looking up cards by Rebecca Guay, and various artists instead of the usual methods.
I was saved a few times by the flashback on Moment's Peace , and it made me wish I always had a "fog" on hand to slow down my enemies. One idea was to run Constant Mists , prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn, and to counter the buyback effect of sacrificing a land, recruit the help of Groundskeeper . (Preferably with the older artwork by Alan Rabinowitz) He's a 1/1 green druid, which will take advantage of the Pendelhaven Elder ability and the artwork is painterly in execution. This way you could perpetually keep the attacking creatures stuck in Constant Mists loop while Wanderlust drives your enemy crazy.
Along a similar theme, Diligent Farmhand is another 1/1 druid, (Pendelhaven worthy) and fits in with the artwork aesthetics. For: 1Green, Sacrifice Diligent Farmhand: Search your library for a basic land card, put that card onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle. A pretty straightforward Rampant Growth sacrifice effect, but the second part of his text got me thinking, "If Diligent Farmhand is in a graveyard, effects from spells named Muscle Burst count it as a card named Muscle Burst." Muscle Burst ? Never seen it before, but it's a 2 cast instant that has the potential to outdo Giant Growth , Target creature gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is 3 plus the number of cards named Muscle Burst in all graveyards. I can imagine if the graveyard is cluttered with Diligent Farmhand , it could start compounding, and possibly replace Evolutionary Escalation if looking for room in the deck.
If there's advantage to having cards in the graveyard with Muscle Burst , and we're pulling lands out of the graveyard for a constant mist around the An-Havva folk, there might be room in the deck for a Life from the Loam , (preferably with the crow artwork), Return up to three target land cards from your graveyard to your hand. and it's got, Dredge 3 (If you would draw a card, you may mill three cards instead. If you do, return this card from your graveyard to your hand.) , which will pour that Muscle Burst into the dirt, and keep your mist fodder in hand.
I like the above idea of a potential Maddening Wind in addition to the Wanderlust — it synergizes with the Song of Serenity too, so you can put dangerous foes on ice.
Lastly, since you're running a land for flavour, something like Petrified Field could also help with the Constant Mists engine.
Anyhow, thanks for the flavourful deck idea, Kudos!

Hey guys I always wanted to build a deck with Folk of An-Havva in it. Maybe I can go further and put also the following cards in it to complete the An-havva-theme: An-Havva Inn and An-Havva Constable .
I know some of you will think...what the hell is he trying, he is wasting his time. But for me it is a challenge to creating a deck that makes old (bad/niche) cards as efficient as possible.
I thought about the First strike ability in case of Folk of An-Havva but I am not sure. So where are the Johnny players? :D
Please note that this should have a budget around 50 Euros.
Thank you very much!

Karametra, God of Harvests

The Landfall ability indeed triggers along Kalametra's.
Some cards I would switch out include:
Abzan Kin-Guard 4 mana 3/3 lifelink is quite weak.
Aetherwind Basker Has no synergy with the deck.
Ajani's Comrade In my opinion Scavenging Ooze would be much stronger in terms of utility and reliability
Argothian Elder Land untap is useful if you're using many utility lands, which you are not. Could be replaced by any mana dorks like Elvish Mystic or Avacyn's Pilgrim
Aven Mindcensor This guy should stay if your playgroup is playing combo-heavy decks, otherwise he's useless
Blinding Souleater Little synergy with the deck
Salt Road Patrol Lacks utility
An-Havva Inn and Ancestral Tribute Very defensive cards, but Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or evenPelakka Wurm would benefit the deck more.
Angelic Blessing It looks rather weak compared to Collective Blessing orCathars' Crusade
Aether Vial A pricy card mostly used in tempo decks like Merfolks. Not very useful here since we should have plenty of ramp anyway.
Accorder's Shield Less synergy than say, Sword of the Animist
Chimeric Staff Looks like a weaker Chameleon Colossus to me.
Arboria Kinda goes against Karametra as a whole since you WANT to play creatures to pump out lands.
Absolute Grace+Absolute Law I mean, if you're only facing red and black, this should stay. Otherwise, it's an even deader draw than Great Wall.
Abzan Runemark Weaker than Rancor or many other boosting enchantments.
There might still be a few cards I find odd or out of place, but for now I'm slightly running out of time, so I'll proceed with some general must-have cards:
Sol Ring, Selesnya Signet, Command Tower, Oblivion Ring, Chord of Calling, Solemn Simulacrum, Tireless Tracker, Sun Titan, Eternal Witness.
Also wow Living Plane if you own one it's great, though if not it's quite the pricey card.
I can give you an extensive list of potentially great cards if you want me to, though tonight this is all the time I had, my apologies.

Nice to see a tribal Elf Deck that's not running Ezuri, Rhys, Yeva or Freyalise as Commander!
You are propably the first guy other than me who runs Elvish Soultiller i've seen here. Such an underrated card!
One question though. Why do you run Voyaging Satyr instead of Argothian Elder?
Luminescent Rain instead of An-Havva Inn could be worth it. Would at least try both of them.
Throw Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury in there, i bet she'll do great!
For more Elf Love, see my Rhys - King of the Elves. All. The. Elves. Deck. ;)
