It just takes time and practice. don't forget that there is a play-testing function within the site! Good luck.

Mana dorks, ramp, and draw a card.

Explore,Nature's Lore,Farseek,Rampant Growth,Kodama of the West Tree,Sakura-Tribe Elder,Three Visits,Thirsting Roots, etc.

Consider lowering your 6 costs to about 4 total in the deck.

Consider lowering your 5 costs to about 7 total in the deck.

Consider lowering your 4 costs to about 9 total in your deck.

It's all about scaling, and when you effectively use ramp to push your late game, you do those things faster, and more consistently. the newly printed Abzan Monument is a cool example of how to consistently grab what you need if you do in fact want to keep casting those big costing spells. In order to do that, you must consistently ramp.

You mentioned that this was your first build all on your own so that was why I thought to give some feedback, I wish you the best of luck! +1

Always happy to help (:

Kodama of the West Tree was going to be my first suggestion as this card is bonkers, especially with a +1 counter theme. If you're looking to diversify the counters you generate, I am a big fan of Slippery Bogbonder as it can give your commander and other important pieces protection. In that vein Inspiring Call is great in any counter heavy deck. Cathars' Crusade would be an excellent fit with so many low mv creatures. With so many low mv creatures you may want to include some more card draw too.

Like Crow_Umbra mentioned, the life gain feels less synergistic so cards like Wellwisher and Oracle of Nectars don't do much for your deck. I find that outside of a dedicated lifegain shell effects like these are not very strong in EDH and there are better/more fun ways to interact with the table. Instead I'd recommend Craterhoof Behemoth, or some of it's less expensive cousins like Moonshaker Cavalry or even End-Raze Forerunners, Earthshaker Giant, etc. so you have a way to close out games with all of your elves.

If you want any more feedback just let me know

Crow_Umbra on Counter Intuitive (Arwen)

I'll do my best; I haven't played Green/White together as much as I used to, especially stuff that's more focused on life gain. If you're interested in some suggestions for life gain and Green/White adjacent strats, I'd tap in with Tsukimi; they love Bant.

• One thing that I noticed is that you seem a bit split on life gain and +1/+1 counter support. Based on your description, it sounds like you're more interested in the counter support to send counters around. For this reason, I think that maybe cutting out most or some of the life gain support could focus those slots a bit more. Focusing in on a primary strategy could help alleviate some of that clunkiness.

• Since Marwen gets her Indestructible counters when she ETBs, maybe a small Blink package of Ephemerate, Eerie Interlude, & Semester's End could be added to facilitate that.

• I'd recommend checking out Grasp of Fate as a potential swap with Banishing Light. For EDH, I like to have a mix of non-board wipe/multi-target removal to supplement the wipes & single target stuff when possible. They're not Elves, but Druid of Purification and Bronzebeak Foragers are also solid options in that vein.

• Since Elves tend to crap out bodies, Aura Shards is another great repeatable removal option for a deck like this.

• Idk if you have a specific budget in mind, but I'd recommend checking out Kodama of the West Tree and Roaming Throne as strong good stuff support pieces.

I know you mostly dabble with Modern, but I'm not sure if you've heard of or used EDHRec before? It's a helpful starting point to see what are some commonly utilized cards for various deck archetypes for each commander.

Andramalech on Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait EDH

Anything with Aesi is worthy of an upvote. Personally, I like Koma- but for actual recommendations I think you've hit the standard deck construction parameters. Maybe an Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath would be nice to see, and I'd also mention Kodama of the West Tree purely because you need more concrete ways to simply put the lands down onto the field. Enter the Unknown, Thirsting Roots, Evolution Witness, just so many different cards i think to mention here for you, but i understand not all of them (or any of them) may be precisely what you're looking for. I myself am a long time fan of Vorinclex  ^Flip and his associated cards, so if you were waiting for someone to rip on you/ support you in that choice, I'd say go for it. I believe the new god from Aetherdrift would be helpful. There's a mention for Fastbond and Manabond, and plenty of room to discuss stuff like Growth Spiral, Farseek, etc. Best of luck building Aesi, the one bit of advice that helped me while I was constructing was you could never have too many lands. Cheers! +1

Crow_Umbra on Hornburg Hero - Vigilance +1/+1 Counters

10 months ago

Aragorn really is a Hornburger Helper. I get that Vigilance is a big component of the deck theme, but I'm a bit surprised to not see Kodama of the West Tree in the Main or Maybe Boards. If it isn't too much of a budgetary issue, maybe it could be a swap with Retaliator Griffin.
