Deck discussion for Rhys, the Redeemed EDH

Druid of the Anima's got the red symbol explicitly listed in an effect as one of the mana it creates. You can't use it in Rhys' G/W build, sadly. Same vein as being unable to use off color lands.

Aside from that, I like the elvish tribal, and one thing that springs to mind is potentially adding a couple non-creature anthemic effects, or ways to win faster with smaller bodies. I could see Coat of Arms and Obelisk of Urd working wonders for you, and while it's frowned upon at a good many EDH tables, Triumph of the Hordes allows your elven army to overrun and infect for a victory, even with smaller base creature sizes.

Thanks for the comment. I actually did not know that I can't use Druid of the Anima. I might be thinking a little old school with if it's not that color, it's colorless but I could be wrong. I find Coat of Arms to actually backfire against me because if my opponent wipes the board on my side like say Extinction naming Elves and if they are playing tribal, it pumps them up too. I'll play test with some of the ideas you have and see how it works.

I actually had to double-check that myself before noting it for you; they use Elves of Deep Shadow as an example here ( http://mtgcommander.net/rules.php - under the examples of what's not allowed in a deck of certain colors).

I can see that happening with Coat of Arms, as well; Obelisk of Urd is a bit safer in that regard, as it's not a global effect, just one-sided for you, and would only boost the creature type you list.

That's kinda weird too because it contradicts Deck Con. #4 at the same time. I don't know. It may seem ridiculous but if this ever came up, I'll ask a judge. Thank you though for the help.

Rule #4, for an effect making the mana colorless, refers to an effect that's not produced by your cards. A great example is Blood Moon. All nonbasic lands become Mountains. If you can't make red mana, all your nonbasics can only produce colorless.

Hope that helps a bit.

Lotta one-mana elves you could easily tutor up with Citanul Flute.

Hmm that is a possibility but if I were to tutor at a fast rate, I would probably do Genesis Wave. Thanks for the feedback though.

Genesis wave is one-and-done though. No reason you couldn't run both. Your card draw options are so limited you're going to run out of gas unless you have a few other ways to get extra stuff from the library.
