Help make my Ezuri deck more consistent
Commander Deck Help forum

I've built a pretty solid and fast Ezuri elfball deck, but I still feel like it lacks consistency and protection for my elves. I want to make it as consistent as possible without going into infinite combos. Any help with this would be incredibly appreciated.

Xenaphix02 I have skyshroud claim in and I just swapped out harrow for crop rotation to grab gaea's cradle/nykthos. I do like the idea of more land ramp though as I find that if a boardwipe gets through I've basically lost the game. Do you have any suggestions for what to cut to put in nature's lore or three visits?

Freyalise, Essence Warden, and Akroma's Memorial are all strong contenders for cuts since they don't really contribute to your elf synergy. Akroma's memorial just seems like a huge liability if you're trying to win fast since it doesn't buff your creatures' stats at all, contrasted to Craterhoof and Finale of Devastation that can both win on the spot with enough mana. Freyalise is in my eyes just an overpriced ramp effect, with some added bonuses that don't really justify running her to me. Essence Warden's Life-gain is kinda meh when you could be accelerating your combat-based wincon with ramp.

Xenaphix02, I tend to agree with the essence warden and freyalise. I find essence warden is a useless 1 drop that sits dead and freyalise is a five mana krosan grip usually. However akroma's memorial really helps when I genesis wave for like 30 and I don't have a haste enabler. I really have been trying to cut it for something else, I just don't know what to put in to replace it. Do you think that I should replace freyalise with ramp or artifact/enchantment removal, and akromas memorial with ramp or something like concordant crossroads? thank you so much for all your help btw

Wrap in Vigor is another instant speed piece of board protection,
In terms of overall deck durability, I think it would be wise to pick up Nature's Lore and/or Three Visits or even Harrow and Skyshroud Claim. They don't synergize with your elves, but the lands they fetch are more likely to survive board wipes and the fact that the lands come in untapped means your relatively low curve will benefit your low curve.
