As of standard sets a few years back, Golgari is where Elves tends to end up. We had to wait a while on Arena for that to be the case, but now the black/Golgari cards offer some real bite to go along with standard 'elf shenanigans'.

The strong Jumpstart decks further boosted Elves closer to where it is in other formats. Though it's still a little shy power wise, it makes up for that in Gladiator with flavour, synergy and all-round fun gameplay in general!
