Hi all, this deck mainly focus on artifacts. How to win with this deck? 1. Steel Overseer to provide +1/+1 counter with Voltaic Key untapping it. Ethersworn add control, Etherium Sculptor make artifacts easier to cast and Master of Etherium add on the power to the artifact weenies. 2. If you have Leyline of Anticipation in your opening hand, you have already won 50%. Normally players will not even be bothered by this enchantment. The main show is to cast Sen Triplets at opponent's end step. Once this hit on the battlefield at their end step, its basically GG as they will not be able to do anything. Emerge Unscathed can be used to protect it if necessary. 3. I did not add Master Transmuter becase of its casting speed and it being a lightning rod. Tezzeret on the other hand is a must in this deck as the Uptap 2 artifacts is very valuable and the ability to tutor for artifact is priceless. I did not add more than 1 Tezzeret is because of Legend rule. 4. Finally why Emrakul? I put him in for 2 reasons, 1 is to have your graveyard shuffled back to library if encountered with mill deck and 2 is with Everflowing Chalice and Voltaic Key on the floor, it is quite common to be able to hard casr Emrakul. Please give me your comments and improvements for this deck if any.

Hi Tru, I have added my own version of legacy elf deck below. I prefer Garruk over Nissan because of his overrun ability and also Garruk can survive longer due to higher loyalty counters. As for card drawings, I took out Harmonize due to higher mana curve and replaced with Gilt-Leaf because there will be a number of elf druids in my deck so I am able to draw good amount of cards. Eladamri will be good because of the shroud he can provide to all elves and lastly is Elvish Harbinger to be your elf tutor. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=87252
Hi all, this deck focus on overrunning opponent with huge elves. Garruk and Bramble will provide the much needed trample. Eladamri will provide the shroud to all elves and Elvish Harbinger will be the tutor to get the elf you need when situation arises. Tip is to get Elvish Archdruid out to give you mana ramp then Joraga out with as much kicker as possible. Once these 2 hit table, the rest like Immaculate will be safe from Lightning Bolt and etc burn spells. Gilt-Leaf will be providing the needed card advantage and will be good synergy with Harbinger.
Lol in the end, I went ahead and bought 2 Walletslayer :p it made the deck better.
Haha no worries Spankus. :D The reason why I didn't put survival cache is due to the amount of life gain which is only 4. However, the main point of survival cache is to be able to draw 2 cards which is vital. I did thought of putting survival cache but can't fit it in. As for walletslayer angel :p the cost of having 2 is high plus I think I have got enough big creatures to win the game. Actually this deck winning condition revolves around Luminarch Ascension or Empty Throne. The lifegain is just to provide the life to tank damage. Ajani becoming huge is just a bonus. So in a nutshell, this deck can win with Felidar's win condition, Ajani's Pridemate becoming super big, Ajani Goldmare's super huge avatar token or tons of flying 4/4 angels from LA or ET.
Sorry I didn't get your question. Mind explaining more?
The reason why I didn't add Knight of the White Orchid is I have Harrow and Knight of the Reliquary to ramp up my mana. KWO almost won't have the chance to get the extra plains.
You can switch between Student of Warfare and White Knight depending on your opponent's deck or mood :p The reason I choose White Knight over Student of Warfare is I do not like to level my creatures and speed wise is 2/2 first strike over 1/1 with nothing. Anyway, you will be killing with a number of knights being buffed by Knight Exemplar, Honor of the Pure, Ajani and Overrun. You can also do a Day of Judgment to wipe out opponents creatures before killing with your creatures.
