Feelin like summer —June 10, 2017

Upon recommendation (and my own decision) I swapped an Imperious Perfect for a fourth Elvish Archdruid. I also grabbed a near mint Cavern of Souls because it was being sold under market price >:D

about running Nissa Revane, i generally find that her +1 for gaining life isnt as important, and although running 1 in mainboard can work, it would be one of the first things that i would board out because a. she relies on you having your creatures alive. If you had your creatures alive, shouldnt you be attacking and trying to win the game? (save Ensnaring Bridge). b. cost. Her ultimate is a great threat, as always, to any deck, and can easily be removed, attacked at, bolted (she happens to go up to 3 on the turn you cast her), and becomes a 4 mana Nissa's Chosen, or gain 8 life.


also, you might want to run a 4x Elvish Archdruid, by moving scavenging ooze to sideboard (and cutting jarad). ooze is a great card, but in your starting mainboard, unless your meta is all graveyard strategies, you want to run few non elf creatures, as they can become dead draws. a 4th archdruid also allows for more consistency, and better ramping.

nice elf build you got going here! +1

Thanks emrakulinsmugglers, if you saw my most recent update post I've been planning on taking out Nissa Revane. You do have a point with Scavenging Ooze though. I'd like to get a third Collected Company in main, but since I don't have one yet for now I'll use a Lead the Stampede, and also go to 4 Shaman of the Pack (and swap a forest for a swamp to account for the reduction in green mama costs and the increase in black mana costs). Adding a fourth Elvish Archdruid might be helpful, but I usually don't have any issues with mana ramp - Archdruid gets better as the board fills and at that point I'm likely not having trouble producing green mana, if anything I would need more cards in hand, or black mana (remember you're playing mono green so Archdruid is more relevant for you). Perhaps trading an Imperious Perfect for an Archdruid will be better to my liking, but for now I think I'll keep them each at 3 of. I moved Ooze to sideboard, as well as Nissa but whether she stays there or not is uncertain.

I suggest adding 1 more Elvish Archdruid and 2-3 Genesis Wave

Thanks for the suggestion Fatboy26105. I've been considering swapping an Imperious for an Archdruid, and Genesis Wave is definitely something to play test.
