With so many infinite mana optio s did you consider walking ballista for the deck? If you did why did it not make the cut as an altnate wincon?

lengardol Walking Ballista could work absolutely, but if we draw into it early game it's a dead card, and it doesn't have great synergy with the rest of the creatures. Plus by time I have infinite mana we usually just cast Ezuri and pump to win.

Another solid include would be Deserted Temple for untap shennanigans with Cradle and Nykthos.

TheCorelton I'm definitely going to play test it, I'm usually great on mana but obviously this doesn't hurt to add. I'm just worried about drawing that instead of a forest when it counts the most.

Have you thought of Guardian Project as another form of card draw?

JLCENTRAL I've play tested it before, it was just too slow.

Would Maze of Ith be a card worth running? combos with argothian elder inside of combat for infinite mana!

I've also tested this and although I liked it I also had a bunch of times where it was just a dead card in my hand that I couldn't produce mana with. MandrewM

Have you ever thought of running Karametra's Acolyte ? It goes infinite with the Staff, Mantle and Sword.

dum321 I've definitely thought of it, but I'm trying to keep it to a mostly elf tribal deck. I'm thinking of adding Devoted Druid to go infinite with Ezuri, Renegade Leader & Leyline of Abundance instead. Plus it is a cheaper cost and can produce a guaranteed two mana when it comes out.

CommanderPatsy can you explain the combo between Devoted Druid & Ezuri, Renegade Leader & Leyline of Abundance because i think i'm missing something...

SirChris39 I could see slotting in Vivien, Champion of the Wilds over Yeva, Nature's Herald . I might actually play test that this weekend.

What is your experience with 29 lands? I would like to add Veil of Summer , Worldly Tutor and Summoner's Pact to my deck but cannot find room for those cards other than cutting on lands (I run 35).

September 5, 2019 4:28 a.m.

Desti702 29 Land has been fine with me, granted it is definitely risky. Bare minimum in my opening hand I keep one land + 1 dork. You can definitely cut down 35 land to 29 but for the first time cutting land I recommend cutting 2-3 first and play test it to see if you like the way it plays.

Desti702 says... #20

CommanderPatsy thanks a lot! Will playtest how many lands I really need! 2-3 lands less seems fine, I addition I will probably cut Nissa, Vastwood Seer  Flip since it is more or less a flavor card and not really impactful!

Card draw has been my weakness recently with my ezuri deck as well i get boardwiped or loose a key elf early suddenly my deck doesn't function i don't really like infinite combos but elves loose to krenko otherwise and i want to dump more elves out but cuts and alterations have been hard plus growing rites has been sold out every single time a copy becomes aviable i had to pay 3 times the cost just for my only copy and i put it into my populate deck

September 7, 2019 12:10 p.m.

LordTsukune Card draw is the biggest obstacle to overcome in this deck. Theres been many games where I just dump my hand and play draw go to catch up. I've implemented a lot of cards like Shamanic Revelation , Regal Force , and Sylvan Library to try and always keep some sort of card movement consistent. Board wipes are another huge problem which is why Heroic Intervention is a crucial card and if you have a decent board you should always try and keep mana up to protect key elves with Ezuri. The only card that truly counters us is Damnation or Wrath of God . And the best thing I can advise for the Growing Rites is try to buy one online at TCG since they usually have the best prices.
