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!

Needs Folk of An-Havva if you wanna win Folk Bowl 2019. You can't compete with that creature type.

White card that gives everything first strike is Archetype of Courage, its downside is two white and it is vulnerable to removal but it could work and make Folk of An-Havva an efficient blocker. There is also Akroma's Memorial but I don't see that card being effective.

Thank you guys for your help which I very appreciate! I already thought about the Voltron strategy but I fear a little bit cards like Extirpate. I think the Naya Zoo archetype is perfect for those cards because of the land An-Havva Township which produces this sort of Mana. I also like the idea with the infinite saproling combo, what can be the "garden" of An-Havva haha. What about a white card (forgot the Name) that can give all my creatures First Strike? Especially cards like Folk of An-Havva would benefit from this?

Maybe play this in a zoo style deck, An-Havva Constable can sync well with Burning-Tree Emissary. Folk of An-Havva just seems like an efficient trade off creature in the one drop slot, but there could be ways to make it work. Beastmaster Ascension if you can turn it on would work well for example, the other route being voltron and you build up the Folk of An-Havva.

You could also do green-white tokens style deck, stuff like Beast Within then becomes relevant. Saprolings come to mind, you can abuse a card like Life and Limb to create this type of effect. And follow this with support like Utopia Mycon and use Saproling Symbiosis as a finisher effectively doubling your already absurd amount of saprolings. Also note that if you have Life and Limb and then play Sporemound you get infinite saprolings but that this interaction can't be stopped unless you can disrupt the combo. This would make your An-Havva Constable extremely big and gain you a crap ton of life. To stop the combo consider Naturalize or Krosan Grip to get rid of the Life and Limb.

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!
