2 more defensive changes —Nov. 29, 2020

Dropped:

Defense Grid - fantastic card, but loses its effectiveness in the late game.

Nylea's Intervention - I wanted to like this card, but in the 20+ games I've played since adding it, I haven't cast it once.

Added:

Conqueror's Flail - locks my opponents out of my turn as long as its equipped. Can be a problem if Collector Ouphe is in play, but worth that small risk if it means I can swing unhindered.

Kamahl's Will - this card is an all around upgrade defensively. Protects against land destruction or take out a problematic creature( looking at Linvala, Keeper of Silence).

Nice changes, dude! :) Lmk how Kodama works out! I tried, but it was win-more in my deck lol.

I don't doubt it. It's a perfect replacement for lurking Predators though, so even if it's win more, its staying in. Lol

I feel that Priest of Titania is not needed yes she is a powerful dork and has huge ramp potential but you only have 9 elves including her in the deck and getting 1 out 100 cards is rough now I know you have some tutors but 6 of the elves are dorks already and I don't think your going to waste a tutor searching up a dork unless your really mana screwed (unlikely from what i seen of this deck but could happen). I feel that replacing her with idk a Elder Gargaroth for it's utility or maybe the new Kamahl, Heart of Krosa for flavor and similar effects to the old one, perhaps a Helix Pinnacle for an alt win con that you can sink the otherwise unused mana and as such wasted mana in? Or just a Worldspine Wurm as I find few green deck that can't improved by adding a Worldspine.

Stardragon: Priest of Titania is symmetrical.

It may not seem like priest is needed in this build, but is easily one of my best mana producers. I may only run 9 elves, but it tapping for 4-5 makes it worth running at only 2 cmc. I also get Mana Reflection or Nyxbloom Ancient out most games, so it actually generates a ton of mana for me. Another note on it that makes it better particularly for my meta is that it generates mana for all Elves in play, not just mine. So more often than you would think, I'm getting extra mana from my opponents. As for your suggestions :

  • Elder Gargaroth - I want to like this card, but the more I see it, the more underwhelming it feels for this deck. I might try playtesting it again one day, but for now it's on the shelf.
  • Kamahl, Heart of Krosa - I love this new card a lot, but it doesn't fit this deck. I don't need a passive overrun when the deck is already designed to pump mana into multiple overruns each turn. I am however making a new deck with this and jeska at the helm.
  • Helix Pinnacle - I ran this years ago and just didnt like it. In my meta, it's an unneeded wincon. My deck can power through anything my friends throw at me currently, so I'm just sticking to old fashioned brute force.
  • Worldspine Wurm - this is another card I ran years ago and ended up dropping it because it wasn't needed. Why spend 11 mana to cast one creature when I can spend 10 of that and give a bunch of creatures +6/+6 and trample? This is however one of my favorite cards in my atla palani deck.

Thank you for taking the time to check out the deck and make some suggestions!

Stardragon: That's usually what makes everyone flip on their initial reaction to the card lol.

I will readily admit, I misread it for most of the first year I had it in the deck. Lol

are you adding the new Kamahl to this?

Kamerot says... #10

Unfortunately no. At 8 cmc, he doesn't do enough to warrant a spot in the deck. I dont need a single passive overrun when fist of Krosa let's me dump my mana and do it a bunch of times anyways. And I dont turn my own lands into creatures in this deck, I reserve that specifically against opponents to punish them for board wipes. I am making a partner deck with new kamahl and jeska though, so he will be utilized.
