Very nice build - the only thing I see wrong is
-2 Boreal Druid
+2 Tarmogoyf
OR..
-2 Boreal Druid
+2 Wren's Run Packmaster

I also see the absence of Masked Admirers ...?


Thanks, but I disagree with your suggestions.

If I had a 3rd Goyf I may put it in in place of Colossus but I'm not sure because early he can be great but not always. 6 mana elves is the right number IMO (don't forget I play 22 lands compared to 23 that most BG builds have). The only thing that concerns me is that I have many 4cc -10- but they are so good that I'm willing to take the chance of a slow start. And Packmaster is a big no for the simple reason Colossus is so much better. Same reason I don't use Admirers despite the fact I like them a lot. If a had space in the 4cc slot there's no doubt I would prefer them over Packmaster (4xColossus for finisher are more than enough in a deck that doesn't necessarily need any).

As far as Wayfinder is concerned, I agree with Mr. Indigo and xxmarinexx1. He's good but I cannot find any space for him. And the mana base is pretty stable so he's hardly needed.

PS: Paragon+Colossus=you have 2 turns to do something or you lose. Oh he's pro black! Next time don't you come without O-ring or burn stuff!

Mono-G is fun, but it's not stable. GB is boring, so I'm gonna give GW a try. Here is the current list.

"GW Elves"

Creatures x2 x 4
4 x *Llanowar Elves
4 x *Wren's Run Vanquisher
4 x *Imperious Perfect
4 x *Safehold Elite
4 x *Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers
2 x *Wilt-Leaf Liege
2 x *Kitchen Finks

Spells x1 x 4
4 x *Shield of the Oversoul
4 x *Oblivion Ring
3 x *Mercy Killing
3 x *Prison Term

Land x2 x 2
4 x *Brushland
2 x *Wood Bastion
12 x *Forest
4 x *Plains


"Read at your own risk" Show

You might be thinking a few things.
1. Where's the Chameleon Colossus ?
2. Why only 2 copies of Wilt-Leaf Liege ?
3. Why throw in Kitchen Finks at all if it's only at 2?
4. Prison Term ? Why??
5. What is up with your lands?

Most of these questions can be answered quite simply. I have a dollar per set restriction for cards. I do not exceed $20 per set of cards. This explains the Liege and Bastion at 2. It also partially explains the Colossus.

As for Prison Term and Kitchen Finks, I'm simply rounding the out the numbers for the deck.

Yes, I'm not using Manlands. Why? I just do want to at the moment. I won't auto-lose because of it. I promise.

One more thing. Tarmagoyf doesn't exist. So there! :P

I may have to consider Prison Term . While I doubt it's staple ability, as an optional it isn't bad. I will test this in my sb and hope the WW cost doesn't screw me up. If I think about it, I board in condemn to help fight instant speed creatures and things that are indestructible, etc... But I find my self reluctant to use it fearing something meaner...with prison i can hold off a nuisance and then later switch it to what ever i was fearing like a cloudthresher or somethin.

testing ill give me the answers...

Any volunteers to create a new elf thread. Seeing as this is a generic 'elves' thing, and there is discussion of B and R splashes in the OP already, it would be a good idea to also discuss the elf warriors builds, generally with the axe, in addition to GB elves.

Can we get a volunteer for the new thread?

EDIT: nevermind me, I have found out that IvyFanboy is already on the job. :embarrass

Lol, bout to say.

GR will not be making it into this thread, me and the other Thread Leaders agree that GR warrior/s elves...while still elves...works in a much different manner. GB and GW, while running different cards, still function in a similar way: swarm, pump, a few beaters, and some back up removal. GR elves/warriors is strictly an all out aggro deck with burn (A.K.A. "turn and burn" deck).

Also, we question it's competitiveness to be deserving of Decks to Beat as it stands more within the tier 2 ranking.
