Looks good. I played against something similar awhile back that used Craterhoof Behemoth to great effect. It’s costly and some mana tinkering might be necessary, but it stomped my lights out at the time and is difficult to deal with if it lands.

Craterhoof Invoker {1}{G}

Creature - Elf Shaman

All creatures able to block this creature do so.

{12}: Creatures you control get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control. Use only mana produced by creatures to activate this ability.

2/1

This is a great finisher for elf decks, and the {12} plus the activation restriction seems enough to limit its power a little while still being a repeatable Craterhoof Behemoth. Seems powerful, but not broken beyond comparison. And if you can multitrigger it in one turn, you deserve it.

Create a naya-coloured legendary dinosaur that doubles Enrage triggers.

I've taken into consideration several of those cards and did a bit of testing with Priest of Titania and a fetchable Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip. They seem to be more reliant and the disciple can be used during the massive amount of mana being gained to sacrifice Atraxa, Grand Unifier thus giving more cards and almost guaranteeing more combo cards or a Green Sun's Zenith to fetch Craterhoof Behemoth or Shaman of the Pack if they have not been drawn. This is in the spirit of combo elves more than any midrange option. Elvish Warmaster is nice, but that ability of triggering only once is not as impressive as Eladamri, Korvecdal being used as a card draw for top deck creature spells. I can still do more testing with Leaf-Crowned Visionary, but Rite of Harmony does give an almost similar effect to Glimpse of Nature with the downside of it needing to EtB. Both Rite and Leaf-Crown would be hit by Spell Snare but I can see an argument for the Crown if more Cavern of Souls are added.

I removed Evendo, Waking Haven since I was hoping they could be quickly turned into Gaea's CradleGC, but they are way too slow and having the restrictions of stationing at sorcery speed is a big hinder in case one needs to toss an elf in front of a creature.

The trickiest part of this has been messing with sideboards to combat weaknesses but for the most part the main is done minus a few cards I either missed when researching or an addition or removal of numbers of copies.

I have no idea why i did not add it on here as i do have a Power Plant Worker in the deck . I will check deck later on today to see what i took out. I have a Scarecrone that is better than Myr Retriever . Glissa, the Traitor *oversized* is nice but i do not have alot removal in the deck for her to work and she is only one card type which does not work with the theme. You may have noticed but i only have 2 creatures that are only one card type and that is Craterhoof Behemoth and Massacre Wurm but they are there to be finishers for me. I did almost died to goaded birds tonight cause i had Coat of Arms out but Walking Ballista got me the win. I do enjoy playing this deck very much. I am working on new deck that i just started playing but will take awhile for that to get tweaked out to my liking. Thanks for the suggestions though and thanks for pointing out the plant for me.

I think it's fine. In a similar-ish vein to sentiments I've shared on one of your past posts about Innistrad/Ravnica Remasters sets, I'm fine with Masters sets taking a backseat to sets that either:

• Are new, first time explorations of planes (Bloomburrow, Edge of Eternities, etc)

• Are returning to planes that haven't had a return set in a long time (Dragonstorm, Lorwyn Eclipsed in 2026, etc)

• Generally any new supplemental set that explores design space that we might not see explored in a Standard-legal mainline set, but even this line is getting more blurred these days.

All in all, it makes sense that (Re)Masters sets may take a back seat for a bit for stuff listed above. I think newer EDH precons are trending in the direction of having decent reprints, and even mainline sets might have some sprinkled in here and there (Craterhoof Behemoth in Dragonstorm as one example). I think WotC should put more solid reprints into their other products, and we as a consumer base shouldn't have to rely so heavily on (Re)Masters sets to get those reprints.

Crow_Umbra, I would never do anything that degenerate, as Kinnan is merely a support card/value engine in my Chulance deck, and most of the creatures in that deck, outside of Craterhoof Behemoth, are fairly minor creatures that simply provide value, for me, until I can assemble one of that deck's win conditions.

StopShot on In your opinion: what was …

What came before the first Commander product.

The first Commander product, Commander 2011, came out after New Phyrexia, with the Scars of Mirrodin block being infamous for creating the keyword Infect which is an incredibly powerful keyword in the Commander format, but can be argued was not designed with Commander in mind because of how it was obviously meant for 20 life formats and has never shown up as a keyword in any base commander product since its debut.

What came after the first Commander product.

Just like how powerful infect could be, after Scars of Mirrodin came the Innistrad block which would create Commander staples still used today like Blasphemous Act, Craterhoof Behemoth and Laboratory Maniac, but could you argue WoTC pushed these cards for Commander players? I don't think what Commander staples printed in a set is an apt indicator of what influence Commander has on any given Standard set, after all Avacyn Restored released Griselbrand, a card WoTC would never have created in today's Standard sets given how much the Commander format plays a role in their current set design.

How the Griselbrand standard may answer this question.

I think a more appropriate metric is to apply what I would dub the Griselbrand standard when assessing Standard sets. The Griselbrand standard is cards or mechanics that would be fine in a 20 life 1v1 block constructed format but would obviously have no business ever being in a marketed product for a 40 life multiplayer format, with other examples of the Griselbrand standard being infect, Serra Ascendant, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, etc. Not every Standard set needs a Griselbrand-like card or mechanic to determine if the Commander format played a role in its set design. Instead, it should be asked, at what point did the Griselbrand standard die in MTG Standard set design to make way for the Commander format? I feel this is a more appropriate question to ask to determine when Commander started to take effect on Standard set design, and I'm curious to hear what set you think would best mark this transition into the Standard sets we see today.

Hello! Saw the thread and wanted to jump in

Can add a few more one drops to get Slimefoot out turn 2. Elves of Deep Shadow, Delighted Halfling, Deathrite Shaman, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, etc

If money isn't an issue, Doubling Season to get redundancy with the slimefoot + Parallel Lives + Ashnod's Altar combo. Demonic TutorGC to help find it

What are some other wincons?
- Craterhoof Behemoth
- Peregrin Took + Experimental Confectioner
- Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Pitiless Plunderer
- Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Warren Soultrader + Blood Artist
- Hazel's Brewmaster + Devoted Druid

There are a lot of other 3-4 card combos in these colors, but these will help get your gears going when building.

Have fun! Please take a minute and upvote a few of my decks!
