Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is a deck, I'm very close to complete, and it fairs pretty well against many sort of decks. It even took down 2 at the same time - one, being an Orzhov bleed, and the other, a mono black discard.
It's framed somewhat like the current top Elves decks, but I can't afford a playset of Gaea's Cradle, so the above list is what I'm going for. Maybe adding a Crop Rotation for extra synergy with the broken land.

How to Play

An ideal start would be GSZ for 0, fetching Dryad Arbor. From there, protect your base until you can either search for Regal/Hoof, or NO a critter for the aforementioned a win from there. If you're playing against heavy spells, add Ruric to the mix - that's why I have a copy of Taiga.
The only card this deck cannot best, is a Turn1 Elesh Norn. The only response is Surgical E.

Heritage and the Nettles, in addition of Glimpse, are invaluable. It's a giant draw engine, which could draw tons of cards, played right

Deck discussion for The Gilt-Leaf Cradle Alliance

Does anyone have a suggestion, what to replace a Crop Rotation with? Currently it sits in the SB and I'd really like it in MB.

I'd replace a Glimpse with your Rotation, seems you have enough drawpower in your creatures, and plenty of search. =D

I'll give it a spin tomorrow, there's much to be done before I can do so. I hope to report back asap ^_^

Sorry for the late respons - there has been tons of stuff to do at home, I have been really pressed for time. Here's what I discovered:

The draw engine -1 Glimpse have been proven quite an ambivalent emotional ride. The card missing, means less chance of getting the engine going, however the card replaced opens for mana/critter safety/early mana fixing. I think I need further testing before making the switch final. Thanks for the suggestion - you've given me a ton to reflect on ^_^

Cheers

No problem! Happy to help. If that swap doesnt sit well with you, try taking out a Nettle?
