i have made or at least helped people make countless elf decks. this is the latest of my creations. it is a dual tribe (elf/warrior), token horde, stompy. enjoy! :) stay tuned for my infamous elf/druid tribal symbiosis deck. :)

Holy crap dude. THIS is what you were working on?! Damn.

....i thought skull clamp was banned? ;) and would Talara's Battalion, Elvish vangaurd, and jagged scar archers would fit well in this deck.
It is, but our group all agree that banning it so severely was an overreaction to one or two decks that abused it, and was an overall dumb decision. Our group banned the decks, not the clamp. The card is amazing, but it isn't ban-worthy. =/
to add to that, i always have infiltration lens on the side if someone does not want me to play with skullclamp. talara's battalion is not as good as wren's run vanquishers in the deck. with bramblewood paragon, one is a 4/4 with deathtouch and trample, and the other is a 5/4 with more trample. the choice was obvious to me. :) i thought about vangaurd but it was not as useful as any of the other 2 drops, same thing with jagged-scar, but for the 3 drop spot. thank you for commenting. :)
i was talking about the clamp 'cause he when i suggested the clamp for glimpse of nothing, he said it was banned so he wouldn't use it. and i probably should have considered what you'd drop for the cards i suggested -- now i realized there's no room. sorry abouts that.
Oooooh....That makes sense. Being confused about him not using the Clamp, not why he said he wouldn't use it...Now I'm confused.
there is a very simple explanation for that. i am an idiot. :|
This is an epic elf deck, and looks very much like what I believe one of my friends would play if he turned his elves legacy/business. Bravo, overall a ten for ten on horde/tribal symbiosis. I have a small thought though, what about something like this little change? I don't know how badly it could damage the jump curve, shouldn't be that much though, but then again I have been VERY wrong about this kind of thing with elves... I'm not that good with green and red. -1 Lys Alana Huntmaster -1 Immaculate Magistrate +2 Green Sun's Zenith
it would not really mess up the jump at all, but i also do not really need it. with skullclamp and tokens, i can draw cards forever and taking out those 2 cards to have a way to find them is a catch-22 you know? :| i am happy that you like it though and thank you for commenting! :)
There's a list of people here that anytime I see a deck of theirs that I can form a coherent thought on other than 'epic' I try and post something. I've just been unable to fully process things recently, I've been practicing the Paul Gilbert take on Johann Christian Bach's A Major harpsichord concerto's first allegro... I've been playing guitar for over a decade now, and I'm still dumbfounded by it.
<_< That can be played on a guitar? On a totally different topic, WnB, do you have an EDH deck?
It can be done, and well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKxsxVi8Z3g And no EDH deck here, they banned Braids and Kokusho >_> I would have one but I've not really tried since I found out the two generals I wanted to use are banned for it.
Arty uses Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, and he was in the same boat as you, so maybe you'll like using him? Other ideas that come to mind...Sheoldred is a poor man's Braids =/ And I have been working on a Seizan, Perverter of Truth deck myself...He's awesome. Arty also uses Maralen of the Mornsong...and that deck is complete bullshit, so you might have fun with her.
I've been thinking about Gaddock Teeg :P From what I hear, it'll be amusing.
:O that's the general i use! he kicks ass in edh. probably a third of most players decks will be shut down because of him. a deck built around him is also fast and versatile which is deadly in edh. don't use maralen, don't be that guy come on. :(
I'd be very interested to see your list, I have no real experience with EDH, so I'm not quite sure what it should look like. It'd be nice to have a guideline :/ And as for Maralen, I'd not go that deep, but I would use Vendilion Clique XD
i could post it i suppose. sol ring and sensei's diving top are 2 auto-inclusions. another word of advice: in edh anything that allows for repeat uses is powerful.
Makes sense. Also, I would really appreciate it. I will probably oogling EDH lists to get a feel for them this current week.
sure thing. it might take me a while, i have to add in every card and sift through the whole deck. :|
Sounds obnoxious, did not think about that. I apologize.
i do not mind dood. :) i think it will be nice to have it posted on here. it should make it easier to reference from time to time. :)
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=197713 there it is! :)
after 50 sample hads i had mabe 37 playable hands most of the time i drew into too much land not enough creatures im sure it works better in person but just from what i can do didnt do as much as i know i can and im sure does do
I found out a long time ago that the sample hand generator doesn't work very well
I would think about using Imperious Perfect over Immaculate Magistrate, as good as the Magistrate is, it doesn't help your Elf/Warrior tribal all that much. The Perfect, on the other hand, is an Elf Warrior that helps all your elves (instead of just one at a time) and makes EVEN MORE Elf Warrior tokens, which helps out cards like Elvish Promenade and Elvish Archdruid. Also, for lulz, you could go for the triple-tribe themed deck, and add one or two copies of Gilt-Leaf Archdruid, nets you even more card advantage off of the druids you already have, and eventually gives you another win condition (versus control decks and the like) if you are unable to just attack.
I disagree, I'd keep the Magistrate for the Magistrate/Warcaller combo. He's also great with devoted druid. I love the Immaculate/Warcaller combo, been abusing that since Warcaller came out, lol. The only other card I might consider throwing in here is Mercy Killing--basically a Swords to Plowshares for Elf Decks, but that is mostly effective with the Onslaught block elves and others that boost from each Elf in play (wellwisher, wirewood pride, elvish guidance, etc.) Overall, an awesome iteration of an elf deck.
One card that you may consider adding to the deck is Elvish Branchbender. With so many elf tokens on the field, you could get out a really big creature that way, which would be devastatingly effective if you could find some way to give it trample.
I think theres a card called elvish herder that can give guys trample for one mana
elves are so powerfull now, i love the clamp for drawing to avoid burn out !, also as if warcaller wasnt enough you can double the amount of counters omg !, good job dude !
wat the fuck you neeed to add joraga treespeaker
level up cards are an epic fail...
What do you think of this? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=197923
I ran a very similar deck minus the cradles due to cost. I highly recommend if running a token deck like this to add biorhythem to sack the opponents life then hit them with a death blow
i use biorhythm in my squirrel deck for multiplayer games. :)
i dont think biorythm is neccessary as you can easily swing for 20 dmg... maybe against a life gain deck tho. i'd sideboard it
why do you have 4 arbor elves and not 4 llanowars? isnt a llanowar a better option? cause if u only have gaeas cradle or oran rief out it becomes useless. also have you thought of pendelhaven it helps stop goblins and other weanies early on
Gaeas cradle first turn wouldn't be the best choice since it only gives you mana for how many creatures you have out. since you wouldn't have any out it gives you 0 mana... you have a point with the oran rief but with there only being 3 in the deck the chances of that being the only land out turn one isn't very high. but both very good thoughs.
in most scenarios the two are essentially identical but in more complex scenarios, arbor elf is actually better. because it untaps the forest, the mana available is more open to different choices throughout your turn. also because it untaps the forest, it makes better use of dual lands, enchanted forests, and even forests that are made into creatures. :)
something i found out that works really good if you want to get more consistent with yoru drops and to get certain cards at certain times plus get around targeting removal is birthing pod you can sac a 2 drop for ezuri or archdruid and later on sac a 1 drop for a 2 drop and with gaeas cradle it would be rediculous
I hate spamming, but would you mind helping me with my other deck that I just made, it is another Elf deck, and I need the help. Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=198929 . I would love any suggestions you can send my way. Thanks, and this deck is quite amazing.
skull clamp is banned? why? it does simillar things as the spinning top in kamigawa and is less useful :P haha I mean the draw two is not that bad :P And I really like this deck, finally, an elf deck that doesnt look like its full of pussies :P
during the mirrodin block the first affinity deck dominated more than any other deck has ever dominated before (arguably). in a panic wizards banned or restricted basically every card in the deck. one of the cards was skullclamp. in that deck and at that time skullclamp WAS broken as hell, nobody will deny that. but a lot of people agree that even though skullclamp is a very good card, it got banned unfairly as a result of an overpowered deck and not from being individually overpowered.

Holy HELL..god thats mean. Makes my elf deck seem bitchy by comparison...think i'll be taking some 'inspiration' from you here. Well done sir. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=191702 if you ever have a moment.
My freind likes to play an elf deck kinda similiar to this but i wouldnt say its pure elves since much of the deck is focused on using elf mana to get khalni hydra into play early
Omg this is one of the most epic elf deck i've ever seen. Seems like a good start combined with counters and fast mana will lead you to an instant victory. Not so much of a defence such as some "Eyblight's endings" or a couple of "Gleeful Sabotage". But a Very good deck indeed. Would love to have some professional help with my Green eldrazi deck. Seems like your pretty good at the fast mana combined with efficiency. Take a look if you want to!
thank you! :D it is my current masterpiece but i hope to continue to push the limits of green. :)
This deck is too good for me to add any of my "two cents worth", nicely done :p I also played this deck last night and came 4th out of 12 people with it :D http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=198049
The only other question I have is, why no taunting elf? He's great with infiltration lens, especially if you use Ezuri to regen or just beef him with Immaculate to wipe their board, hehe. :-)
I don't know if you can find a way to fit it in, or even if it would help the deck at all, but what I did with my elf deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=199008), was to use Elvish Champion and Lush Growth so that I could just forestwalk over my opponents lines, even if they don't have forests in their deck.
this deck is sweet can you check out my green deck? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=213121
