First Rounds of Playtesting —June 30, 2015
Took out 1x Nissa, Vastwood Seer Flip, 1x Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, 2x Obelisk of Urd, 1x Hero's Downfall for 4x Leaf Gilder and 1x Chord of Calling.
Reasons for these changes are that I don't want to draw too many Nissa, Vastwood Seer Flip since she is legendary, Chord of Calling and Collected Company can find her . Since I have added Chord of Calling to the deck I don't need to run as many Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen either, which allows me to add more low casting cost elves such as Leaf Gilder. Obelisk of Urd while powerful is just too slow. It may become a sideboard card not sure.
I have found in my playtesting that both Collected Company and Chord of Calling are essential to this deck's strategy because the main win con for this deck is Shaman of the Pack. Either Collected Company into her or find her with Chord of Calling.
The second win con is Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen. Which can be found with Chord of Calling, but not Collected Company.
