Canuck25 Hey I checked out your list! I definitely need to make some hard cuts to my list cause I want to add Natural Order and Finale of Devastation and I'm thinking about finally adding in Eladrami. Any suggestions on my list? My only thoughts on yours was I'm not a fan of Survival of the fittest just because I'm scared of my cards going to the graveyard since recursion is so hard with elves. I do run Fauna shaman but thats just because I feel like I can protect her easier than a survival of the fittest. And the same logic goes for skullclamp. If you're anything like me, card draw is the biggest flaw in the deck so I can see why you would run it, but I'd rather try and keep my elves on the field. I definitely think that Leyline of Abundance should be added, that card is just amazing. That new Elvish Re-claimer should definitely go in. And Return to Earth should just replaced with Krosan Grip or Natures Claim. Also if you have the time to talk I would love to hear about your deck and how cards like cloudstone curio and instill energy have worked out!

PatsyJD Thanks for your time. I really do appreciate it. Natural Order has been a game changer for me since day one, and my last round I tested Finale of Devastation and was not disappointed! Eladamri is great you just have to play smart so you don't screw yourself over with the shroud lol.

I actually have a hard time with Survival and Fauna Shaman because I find myself not wanting to pitch cards, but rather play cards on to the battlefield. However, they provide another way to grab the main elves which makes the decision difficult. I do have similar reservations with you and Skullclamp. Card draw is my biggest downfall. Especially once I get wiped and have to start over.

You really think that Leyline of Abundance is that good? Reclaimer will be going in for sure. Cloudstone Curio is an all-star. Reuse great ETB effects like Visionary and Reclamation Sage. Once you get Aluren out that is typically game. Draw your deck and win. Instill Energy I have recently taken out. It wasn't performing how I originally thought it would. Often felt too narrow.

Have you considered running Regrowth or Wildest Dreams ? You talked about how recursion can be hard for you and these cards both do great work. Wildest Dreams is probably better for you since you can recur many cards. Anyways great deck, +1 from me!

Cuickbrownfox1 I have considered both, if anything I might do regrowth. The big problem with recursion in this deck is mass recursion. We usually need cards back to our hand after a major board wipe that we couldn't protect ourselves from. The plan after a major board wipe is to use our lands and cards like finale of devastation to get back dorks who could produce a lot of mana to cast cards like Praetor's Counsel.

cool deck.. you should drop a forest for Homeward Path .. if someone steals your ezuri in this current build you have no way of getting it back.

I would also cut a few of the dead elves like Essence Warden and Wellwisher for some protection. you seriously will get blown out if you play against blue or red and so you need cards like Veil of Summer and Heroic Intervention .. these will help push your spells through and the intervention will protect you from a board wipe (and also protect your lands)

I would drop cryptolith rite for Lignify because you have basically no removal. If someone drops a Linvala, Keeper of Silence youre basically toast

shadowmage Veil of Summer will probably find a spot in here somewhere. Also I plan on switching Wellwisher for Heroic Intervention once I get a foiled one.
