Shelving Comments —Sept. 5, 2014

The comments on this deck are pretty old, so I'm tucking them away to try and get some new discussion in.

Also, I've given up on the selesnya specific removal suite, instead I am going for the classic Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile for creatures and Krosan Grip for those pesky artifacts and enchantments.

"Holy shit that's a lot of fucking elves."

It's a Friday Nights reference.

Elves have always been one of my favorite tribes the entire time I've played MtG and I really enjoy EDH decks built around them. Only advice I can give really is

A) Include "Tribal" as one of the deck's hubs to allow more people to find it, and
B) Include some removal.

Otherwise, it's a very handsome deck. +1 from me.

Is there a reason you'd prefer to only use Modern-legal cards? You're missing out on a ton of the older elves like Wellwisher , Wirewood Channeler , Wirewood Herald , etc.

Replace Demystify with Naturalize or Krosan Grip . The flexibility to answer both artifacts and enchantments with the same card is important. You could also use Nature's Claim if you like having a 1-drop answer.

Cards I would consider:

also if you're going to use Naturalize you may as well use Disenchant instead of Demystify again, for versatility.... p.s. how about Heedless One and Alpha Status ?

Aelorith2117 says... #8

oops.....didn't see the Heedless One in there.....

Pili-Pala with Presence of Gond doubles your elf numbers for each creature or enchantment that gives you one mana for each elf. I always liked that combo.

I'd really like to keep it modern, Aelorith

Have you ever played with True Conviction ? Also you might consider Intangible Virtue and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice .

June 19, 2013 8:12 a.m.

Rienuaa says... #13

added both True Conviction and Intangible Virtue , Trostani is not really what I want right now.

any reason why Immaculate Magistrate isn't in there?

Rienuaa says... #15

Because I forgot, actually. He's in my physical deck :P

Hey, love the deck, very similar to my elf deck which is golgari instead of selesnya build.

Have you considered Eldrazi Monument , its a beast in my deck b/c token / creature gen is so high.

+1 from a fellow elf fan!

July 17, 2013 1:58 p.m.

Rienuaa says... #19

Ooooooh good call. What should I drop for Eldrazi Monument , you think?

July 17, 2013 2:08 p.m.

xzavierx says... #20

not sure, all depends the route you want to go, my elves are a little more aggressive, yours is built more around token generation then using tokens as overrun.

a few cards in mine that would probably work with your deck:Wolf-Skull Shaman token genWellwisher Priest of Titania Elvish Vanguard Timberwatch Elf **this would be huge in your deckAdaptive Automaton Sylvan Messenger Wirewood Pride Descendants' Path Steely Resolve Door of Destinies Eldrazi Monument Coat of Arms

Since no-one else has mentioned it, Ambush Commander and Elvish Branchbender . Though the commander is a bit risky if you play against red, since all your forests could die.

I put Quirion Druid in my elf setup, specifically to discourage board wiping once the elves get going. But I run Rhys the Exiled , so I get bonus value with Attrition as LD...

phillip4422 says... #24

So, we are in the midst of talking about elves and tokens... and nobody brings up Voice of the Woods ? Your plan is to have tons elves (token or other)... likely using doubling season and parallel lives, why not turn out a ton of 7/7 creatures as well (keep in mind this ability can be used as much as you have elves per turn)

phillip4422 says... #25

Then you can use a card like Seedborn Muse to untap them all and do it again on EACH of your opponents turns
