Hey Zorke,

Ok based on your comment about the combo, I'm basing these recommendations on a:

Tuned tier - Power level 5 (6 usually has a combo) - Win before Turn 14 - "Upgraded Precon". Visual Guide to Power Levels in EDH.

-- Land Base -- Prioritize untapped, Mana colors, Target 33: +Shivan Reef -Island +Yavimaya Coast -Forest +City of Brass -Aether Hub +Mana Confluence -Mountain Valley +Riverglide Pathway  ^Flip -Simic Growth Chamber +Rootbound Crag -Mountain +Hinterland Harbor -Forest +Sulfur Falls -Mountain +Rejuvenating Springs -Path of Ancestry +Training Center -Rogue's Passage +Spire Garden -Ancient Ziggurat +Boseiju, Who Endures -Island

--Ramp-- Creature preferred +Birds of Paradise -Thought Vessel +Three Visits -Heraldic Banner +The Great Henge -Gilded Lotus (Also important for draw) +Farseek -Harvest Season

--Morph-- +Kadena's Silencer -Stuffy Doll +Icefeather Aven -Keep Safe (Morph flavor) +Echo Tracer -Omnath, Locus of Mana (Morph flavor) +Mistfire Weaver -Forsaken Monument (Morph flavor) +Jeering Instigator -Shaleskin Plower (Morph flavor less salt)

--Draw-- +Fathom Seer -Zendikar Resurgent +Temur Ascendancy -Tomb of the Spirit Dragon +Tishana, Voice of Thunder -Ashcloud Phoenix +Guardian Project -Tidespout Tyrant +Toski, Bearer of Secrets -Fabricate +Garruk's Uprising -Creeping Renaissance

--Offense other than Animar-- +Garruk's Horde -Forest +Artisan of Kozilek -Island +Bane of Bala Ged -Trophy Mage (Pulls 1 unneeded artifact!) +Shrieking Drake -Temur Sabertooth (Non-Infinite Ancestral Statue) +Decimator of the Provinces -Temur War Shaman

--Control-- +Beast Within -Fog

I've left out some salty card for this power level: Cyclonic Rift Ancestral Statue Craterhoof Behemoth Rhystic Study Mystic Remora Dockside Extortionist

Special mention (would need to playtest): Secret Plans (Draw) Solemn Simulacrum (Ramp & Draw) Mulldrifter (Draw) Trail of Mystery (Ramp) Rhythm of the Wild (Don't think you'll see heavy counterspell in power 5)

Could go more {G} less {R} if needed Theres other stuff I didn't suggest because of the morph theme, like Cloud of Faeries, Hullbreaker Horror, Fierce Empath etc.

Hopefully you find some useful ideas here.

Cool deck!!!
I like that you run from beyond, that card is great. But you could run an eldrazi like Desolation Twin so you have a creature to tutor and you get a 10/10 to populate. Or Decimator of the Provinces maybe too, there are so many good eldrazi.
Anyway, other cool cards could be Cathars' Crusade, and Spirit Mantle for tana so shes unblockable, and Krosan Verge can ramp and fetch duals.
Anyway just some thoughts, cheers and have fun!!!

Lord_of_Cardboard I'm pretty sure sideboard is incldued in the cost, so ignore that. I never pay attention to the tappedout price because it's usually inaccurate and averages the price of a card based on all its printings. Don't worry about a land base, given it's very easy nowadays to budget one efficiently. In a deck based around ETB, it's very easy to budget. If there's a card that's a little pricey, like Craterhoof Behemoth, there are budget alternatives. While landing a hoof with two triggers nearly always ends the game, using a similar card like Decimator of the Provinces or End-Raze Forerunners works just fine. Even just using EDHrec and filtering the most popular cards to be cheap will give you a better idea of what other people do to budget their lists. Do what you can to ensure you have a consistent mana base, a way to ensure your mana base stays efficient with cards like Farseek or even Skyshroud Claim, a decent amount of removal (preferably in the form of ETB from cards like Reclamation Sage and Ravenous Chupacabra), and having ETB effects on nearly every creature or even every permanent in your deck. In my opinion, if you were to buy a nicer card or two for this deck above the $10 range, Birds of Paradise is a must-have mana dork in a multicolor deck, and Field of the Dead will give you an insane amount of creatures with little to no effort. Keep in mind this list is based around Birthing Pod, so that card and the others like it are a bare necessity. If you want to push your list more towards blink or landfall, by all means, go crazy. This is just my iteration of a very popular and flexible commander.

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 :)

Missed opportunity to use Decimator of the Provinces . I'd definitely use that over Nylea. And maybe Brawn to be milled.

I'm changing my version of this but thought I'd share.

damn 40 elves thats a lot of elves. Honestly this is a fine deck if you're looking for a weaker precon style deck, and lathril definitely is really strong as is.

However if you are looking to eventually make it stronger, id drop down to around 30ish of the better elves so you can fit in more card draw and removal and finishers. Adding in more of the one drop elves like Llanowar Elves , Fyndhorn Elves , Elves of Deep Shadow , Boreal Druid to have a better shot at turn one ramp.

adding more finishers like craterhoof behemoth would also increase some consistency. budget behemoths include Decimator of the Provinces , End-Raze Forerunners .

and ya more basic black and green card draw and more removal would be good to refresh your hand after you dump all your elves on the field

edge_dino on sidar and tana partner commander

Thank you for you opinion's on my deck Grind As nice as ancient grudge is i prefer having the option for either or instead of the focus to one specific card type but thats just a personal preference. Now for not having eldrazi that 4 drop card is purely because i don't have the 3 drop enchantment that does the same thing but those tokens are more for mana anyways and if needed for attacking. The trostani's judgement i ran not just for the exiling aspect but also because of populate but yes it is to expensive but i do not own any extra swords to plowshares. Lastly i wouldn't run Decimator of the Provinces in my token deck here because that would go completely against sidar's ability of making them unblockable.
