Shogoom on Wolf Pack

Cloudy2024 Makes sense! When playtesting, the deck struggled keeping up in later turns with more value plays, but that was before I added Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip, so maybe now the curve might be too heavy with it. Will playtest with it, thank you for the suggestion!

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.

Idk what the current build of elves runs but Priest of Titania is way better than elvish archdruid. I also think it played Leaf-Crowned Visionary (I assume it still does because there haven't been any upgrades). Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip is a good utility land. Beast whisperer is a little slow. Atraxa is not worth as a GSZ target when all of your cards are creatures and lands besides GSZ. Iirc most lists also play Elvish Warmaster.

Thank you so much for your feedback zachz, glad I'm getting at something with the deck! Do you any recommendations of what I should swap Sphinx of Magosi and Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip out for? I was wondering whether I should add different lower mana creatures or add more enchantments or sorcery spells?

The deck looks like a delight. Straightforward frog focus tribal with some druids, and a lot of removal. I don't see any issues. There are a couple cards that don't have as much synergy with the deck, such as Frogmite but I could see keeping those in as thematic additions.

The Sphinx of Magosi and Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip both seem to be pretty large CMC costs for late game, but I don't see them making as big of a splash as you might want. By the scheme of the rest of the deck, your focus is on growing Sab-Sunen while your spells and small frog army slow down the opponents. The Floodwaters also seems slightly underwhelming for the high cost. Nonetheless, it looks like a fun time!

BirdieGirlie, because the deck needs a critical mass of SAHs, there's not a lot of space for other cards such as interaction. MDFCs help in this scenario by having a lower opportunity cost.

Originally, I had more copies of Bridgeworks Battle  ^Flip, but during playtesting I noticed that I barely used it, so I started cutting more and more. Disciple of Freyalise  ^Flip works well with Nourishing Shoal against aggressive decks. Since the gameplan is to cast SAH every turn, I opted for a card that I can cast without paying. Although you're probably correct and there's a better card for those slots.
