Hello there,

So I would definatley suggest Umbral Mantle. Can essentially make you infinite green mana with several of your mana elves.

Dionus, Elvish Archdruid is an absolutely crazy card if you can get him. Can activate Lathril twice in your turn, and also pumps your board.

Any kind of "Ability Haste" enabler is good. Thousand-Year Elixir, Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler fit the bill for this.

Big fan of Temur Sabertooth. Although not an Elf, if you have loads of mana, and a draw enabler on board, can draw your whole deck. Also lets you protect your board from boardwipes (the arch enemy of pointy ears).

You are in black, and low to the ground mana wise Bolas's CitadelGC is a beast in decks like this as give insurmountable value.

Three Tree City as a land mayeb?

Hope this helps,

Here is my own Lathril Deck, so may be able to find some more inspiration there. Good luck, and obviously a +1 left :)

Not just an Elfball deck (although it still does)

Would Earthcraft be worth considering/work?

Heart Warden > Elvish Hunter?

Thousand-Year Elixir - Synergy

Glimpse of Nature - Draw

Urza's Incubator - Or is it not needed?

so I kind of find Elvish Piper a little... redundant. Thing with Elves is they can make soooo much many, simply playing a Craterhoof Behemoth is not tricky.

1. Temur Sabertooth is so good as can bounce your stuff and replay them.
2. Thousand-Year Elixir and Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler let you use all those precious mana abilities as though they have haste. Can massively increase the speed of your deck. I also run an Akroma's Memorial in mine for full haste amongst the other bonuses.
3. Am a big fan of Nullmage Shepherd - Means you dont need to worry so much about Enchantment and Artifact removal.
4. Seedborn Muse gives you an untap in everyone elses turn meaning many more activations of Lathril, Blade of the Elves other ability.
5. Umbral Mantle and Staff of Domination can mean just win. Umbral makes many infinite mana combos, and staff lets you draw your library.

If youd like to have a look at my deck, here is the link - Golgari Elves

Good luck with the Elf deck, and feel free to hit my up with any other questions. +1

Hello there,

Always a fan of an Elf deck (and have a Lathril deck if you want a look - Golgari Elves)

So one of the biggest advantages you will have with Elves is their ability to create mana. There are a couple of very notable cards missing from your list which I would not want you to miss out on.

1. Priest of Titania
2. Circle of Dreams Druid

They will help you just set yourself massively ahead.

Also, there are a couple things which really will help you be able to get ahead more by have "Ability haste". Cards like Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler and Thousand-Year Elixir means when those guys drop down, you can have instant value. If you can look aside from the fact it is not an elf, Temur Sabertooth can easily end up making you infinite mana if you have one of these "ability haste" pieces down, and can bounce the mana dork, and replay it making more mana, and repeat.

I guess after this then we are looking for payoffs. There are some obvious but expensive ones in Finale of Devastation and Craterhoof Behemoth, but also there are some much cheaper ones like Ezuri, Renegade Leader and Tyvar, the Pummeler, where you just pump your board to an infinitely large size.

There is also a couple pieces which may help with Lathrils activated ability. Seedborn Muse and Awakening all give extra instances of being able to activate that ability. Awakening will obviously help your opponents as well, but with the right set up, you are putting your opponents on a massive clock.

Hope this helps, and of course, a +1 for you

Hello there,

In a deck like this, something like Patriarch's Bidding will invariably benefit you way more than others. Tons of ETBs etc. Whilst your opponents also get a level of recursion from this, you say "elves" and pop all the pointy eared ones from your graveyard back into play.

Add in a Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler and a Thousand-Year Elixir and they gain "ability haste", meaning all those mana dorks etc, can all be activated as well.

Oh neat. I was toying with an idea like that a while ago but never finished it. Thousand-Year Elixir is your friend. Do you have a link to the deck please?
