Czarnian90 on Elves, Lords of the Dark Forrest

The deck is built on classic Elf synergies:

Ramp and lord effects via Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Imperious Perfect Token generation from Dwynen's Elite, Elvish Warmaster Buffs and anthem support from Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, Immaculate Magistrate, and Tyvar Kell

Main win conditions: Abomination of Llanowar – a giant trampling threat that scales with every Elf you control and in your graveyard Shaman of the Pack – drains opponents when you flood the board. Lathril, Blade of the Elves – can take over games by herself if she sticks Tall token swings – swarming with boosted Elf tokens can often close out the game

The sideboard currently serves as a thematic pool and an upgrade wishlist. I plan to: Add more copies of Shaman of the Pack Possibly include Ezuri, Renegade Leader for an alternative overrun finisher Improve the mana base (currently using tap lands like Golgari Guildgate and Golgari Rot Farm) Possibly include early ramp like Llanowar Elves for faster openings

This deck isn't meant for Modern tournaments — it's built for casual 1v1 play or relaxed multiplayer. It’s already effective at overwhelming the board and has lots of room for future growth. For me, it’s also a tribute to a beloved tribe and a deck that keeps evolving.

Thanks for posting, CommanderNeyo, always interested in your thoughts. I think those two could be candidates down the road if I ever revise this build, so I’ll go ahead and add them to the maybeboard. Elvish Warmaster offers some decent early game utility and can be valuable for a final push, and the latter has a potentially interesting method to stay afloat, although that casting cost makes me wince. I’m pretty set with the deck’s current iteration for now, so it probably won’t change anytime soon unless a ‘strictly better’ variation on an included card gets released. Thanks as always

Thoughts on Elvish Warmaster and/or Wolverine Riders? Not sure if their art is too bland for you, but they are quite fun!

Looks like one hell of a beater! Nice!

I would suggest getting rid of e.g. Wolfir Silverheart and get Elvish Warmaster and Wolf-Skull Shaman, both which spits out tokens left and right.

How do you deal with boardwipes and maybe not having too many cards left in your hand?

My Elvish Warmaster has triggered for this turn, and then is bounced to my hand. If I have the mana to replay it, will it be able to trigger again?

Welcome to the club!

With an average mana value of about 3, and thirty lands, you need both more lands and more ramp. Go to at least 34 lands and add some more land searching. Anything from Rampant Growth through Farseek to Three Visits works.

To get these spots open, I would start by reviewing all of the cards that cost 5+ mana and asking how each of them directly contributes to a win. If they don't help you force damage through, or deal damage, or create a big pile of tokens with haste, consider dropping them. Second, you have a lot of tribal support cards, especially in Elves and Goblins, that seem like they aren't pulling their weight. This deck just doesn't have the critical mass of those creature types to really let them shine. How much mileage do you regularly get out of Elvish Warmaster or Muxus, Goblin Grandee?

If you're more focused on the Bramblewood Paragon, have you considered Elvish Warmaster? He's cheap, a warrior himself, makes token warriors, you have enough elves to justify playing him, and multiple copies will each trigger separately. Hope this helps.

Few suggestions Remove some elves, ie: Elvish Champion, Elvish Warmaster, Marwyn, the Nurturer, Ezuri, Renegade Leader

Put in some big guys Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Cavalier of Thorns, Apex Devastator, Kogla, the Titan Ape
