Wirewood Herald

Creature — Elf

When Wirewood Herald dies, you may search your library for an Elf card, reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield.)

I would recommend Wirewood Herald to find Devoted Druid better.

Wirewood Herald is strictly better than Elderfang Ritualist in most cases.

Nice deck friend! :D

Very cool concept, and great budgeting :)

I tried looking over your deck to come with some suggestions, and I didn't see until way too late that you already have a efficient way to fetch for Mirror Entity using General Tazri..

I was looking at more more reliable tutors, and I can tell you, if you every need more tutors for Mirror Entity than your commander, there are plenty! You probably already know this, but any random tutor like Goblin Matron will do the job :D

I see you also play every 4 mana transmute card to fetch Maskwood Nexus. So good job there too.

I would however consider swapping out Halimar Excavator and Faerie Trickery for something else. One mill card in edh isn't going to do much, and there are better counterspells.

Additionally, I might look into more ways to keep Mirror Entity and Maskwood Nexus alive, or reviving them if they die. I am not sure how well the deck works if they are both gone.

If you ever considering to use less tribes (you are currently doing 30 tribes :D ), you could back up Mirror Entity and Maskwood Nexus with milder effects like Arcane Adaptation, Conspiracy, and Xenograft.

Also, if you ever feel the need to get more tutors for Maskwood Nexus, even if it means you will go a bit out of budet, you could invest in Long-Term Plans or Fabricate.

Yisan I think think a variation of the "more followers = more power" was kind of represented by devotion in Theros, by the "can't attack or block unless" in Amonkhet, and by... not much of anything in Kaldheim. Devotion is "How deep is your faith?" The Amonkhet thing is "Are you willing to work for their favor?" So the flavor isn't quite number of followers but how faithful you were to them.

I have to admit, I don't really know the lore of Eilistraee, but a few seconds of looking comes up with some traits. She is benevolent, she wants to lead the drow out of the Underdark, and she's a protector, warrior, hunter, and musician. She doesn't want to personally intervene in the lives of her followers, but will give them hints and nudges that will let them find solutions for themselves.

The "cast from exile or graveyard" ability can be flavored as returning from banishment, but it's usually more about bringing back the dead (graveyard) or an unnatural mysticism (exile).

At this point, I'm going into my own thoughts and opinions. I think a repeatable ability similar to Elvish Harbinger or Wirewood Herald would be appropriate, instead of the cast from graveyard or exile. Or "Whenever you cast an Elf creature spell, you may draw a card." similar to Primordial Sage. Change the Ward to a stat buff, maybe +1/+2 or something.

Planned swaps:

Erza420 on Can I tutor Elfhame Palace …

3 years ago

please link all cards in your question

Elfhame Palace

Elvish Harbinger

Wirewood Herald

Skyshroud Poacher

the answer is no. Elfhame Palace does not have the "elf" typing. the card would need to have the "elf" sub-type, such as a Llanowar Elves , or even Elvish Promenade (except in the case of poacher).

Hey, good edit so far. Nice Ezuri, Renewal, Shadow and Warmaster upgrades :)

What's your budget for upgrading? The precon has too many Swamps compared to Forests. You've cut some already, but consider cutting more? Green mana is much more important than black mana especially now that you have added more one drop green mana Elves which is another good upgrade. My advice is cut several Swamps for Golgari dual lands especially lands that can ETB untapped.

Some of the powerful tribal Elves have exploded in price since the release of the precon. If your budget allows these cards are upgrades.

Copperhorn Scout can be another repeatable untap all your creatures effect and it's an one drop Elf. Pair Scout with Magistrate + Lathril to make Scout and Lathril bigger each time you attack. Magistrate first puts counters on Scout that way Scout can survive combat. Scout + Lathril attack which unaps Magistrate to then tap Magistrate to put counters on Lathril.

Staff of Domination is a mana sink/win condition enabler. It's busted because it can untap itself. Use it in combination with a big mana producer such as Archdruid who can make 5 or more mana to make infinite green mana. With infinite green mana you can activate Staff to draw into a mana sink win condition such as Ezuri. Staff can also be used with infinite mana if you have 10 or more Elves with Lathril to repeatedly untap Lathril + 10 Elves making Lathril's tap ability the win condition.

Chord of Calling is powerful with Elves, an instant speed tutor that Elf tokens can help to cast with convoke. Wirewood Herald when it dies is an Elf tutor. Skullclamp is excellent repeatable draw when your Commander can create 1/1 tokens as well as with other repeatable token sources.

Shamanic Revelation and Regal Force are other mass draw effects with Elves. Regal is nice since it's a creature which is easier to tutor for.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, good budget upgrade of the precon. Nice upgrades of Ezuri, Beastmaster, Rangers, Visionary, Domination and Revelation.

In upgrading the precon on a budget and playing Lathril I've found four areas for improvement:

  • Creature tutors.
  • Too many Swamps.
  • More ways to pump/make Lathril bigger.
  • Ways to untap Lathril after she attacks.

Some budget cards to consider adding:

A repeatable/all Elf/budget interaction is Lathril + Immaculate Magistrate + Copperhorn Scout . This combos scales to make Lathril bigger each turn you attack which can create more Elves each turn and it lets you use Lathril's tap ability with all the Elves she just created after combat.

First, put counters on Scout with Magi to give Scout a better chance to survive combat. Second, attack and untap Magi + Lathril. Last, in combat put counters on Lathril with Magi. Once Scout is big enough to survive combat you can then use Magi to put counters twice on Lathril. Marwyn, the Nurturer can make a lot of green mana with Magi + Scout to use with a mana sink such as Ezuri.

Quest for Renewal with at least 4 counters combos with Lathril + 10 Elves to make opponents lose 40 life in a cycle of players turns (opponents lose 10 life on each player's turn).

Good luck with your deck.
