And actually it's pretty likely to get either the lotus or the spirit guide. And extremely likely for the one drop

yeah thats right xD. the onlyreally weak thing is if you are up against another fast deck say http://www.mtgvault.com/s0rinmark0v/decks/infect-deck-wins ( not my deck btw)

Tis true. But I can actually get it by turn 4. if I'm really lucky, play priest of Titania turn 1. Llanowar elves turn 2. Elvish archdruid turn 3. Goblin char Belcher turn 4, you do that from two mana producers in the beginning, then from there you have 7 mana turn 4 so you could win.
It's possible I suppose to do charbelcher turn 1 or 2, win the next turn, but that's not likely at all.

It works really really well now especially with the chancellor, so there's more mana. Once you get out archdruid, you can Get super easy mana

there are your elves good sir

But in all honesty, a good mana giving card is Somberwald Sage.

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 00:00

who says doomblade says deathmark, just 1 mana. I play an asassin legacy deck and i know what i say. I know this deck may be for having fun, but against removal...

Its a dangerous game XD

oh i know. but you arent everyone. ;)
and yeah it was just to see if you could make a deck with no lands. :D

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 20:28

Permalink

i didnt expect it to get to the hot page O.o
just a couple things:
isnt this game supposed to be about having fun? YES (not necessarily talking to you)
are all decks supposed to be the same or function the same? NO
Are there multiple strategies to win in the different ways? YES

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 21:11

Permalink

playing a deck like this is very dangerous for any mass removal like day of judgement

but if you want to play it, you could add Umbral Mantle with the archdruid and all those elf, it creates an infinite mana, infinite tap ability of all your creature and infinite +2/+2 counter on your creature that has a tap ability

So you end up attacking the oponent with 10 creature with infinite power and thoughness and maybe infinite number of elf token

ooh. what do you think i should take out to do it?

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 00:01

i know that its dangerous. it was mainly meant in fun to see if i could actually do it with practically no lands. and it does work suprisingly :D

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 00:03

maybe elvish piper, usually it's combined with big creatures to make cheap to cast, but everything in your deck is CMC 4 or less
Example of my deck using the piper : http://www.mtgvault.com/coldbeer666/decks/elf-ramp-up/
you could also replace nissa's chosen since it's doesn'T have a tap ability to combine with umbral

True.
I had elvish so I could grab more, but you're right.

to protect, look at my elf deck. i have a tier 1 legacy elf deck. just throw in 1 or 2 Eladamri, Lord's all better.

why gyre sage it only evolves once titania's priest are better in that spot or Boreal Druid

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 03:41

Permalink

yeah almost nothing has the potential to make it evolve in the deck, in that case it would be better to have
-Fyndhorn Elves, Boreal Druid or Priest of Titania

it will also make the deck cheaper

Cool idea but i find it unplayable :) decks with just a few lands are fun to make though +1

-2

It actually works really well surprisingly. Obviously not as well as a mana ramp, but still prtty darn well. i think i cam actually take out the lands altogether

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 14:34

Permalink

Thoughts on switching out the lands for another elf skull and another priest of Titania?

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 14:38

Permalink

personally i would add more land, it would increase the speed of you deck if you have 1 or 2 land in hand to begin the game.
You could also exchange Elvish Spirit Guide for Chancellor of the Tangle. It's not an elf, but it would serve the same purpose and would give you reach, you wont have to sacrifice a card in your hand(only show it) and you will be able to cast it easily with all your ramp

If you want to remove all land, Chancellor of the Tangle is still a good card to replace those 2 forests

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 14:53

Permalink

Oh right. Thanks for that.
thing is, I'm trying to make a viable deck with no lands. If two of them cannot be elves, oh well

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 15:01

Permalink

Im also thinking that gyre sage isnt going to help me much?

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 15:04

Permalink

no the best in this deck as it wont evolve that much with a lot of small elf
maybe add 2 more chancelor and only keep 1 gyre sage
It would give you more evolve capability and more ramp on turn 0

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 15:15

Yeah. I was thinking immaculate, but by that time i will have so many others it's not worth it.

Well, i do have more than just one. I could always do it again.
This was mainly a deck to just have fun to see if no lands could actually work. :D

also, this deck is restricted, how do you feel about this, -4 petals +4 Dryad Arbor ??? its a creature!

but if you don't care that its not legal lets throw in 4 channels lol.

But this deck( very suprisingly) still works.

-2
Posted 17 July 2013 at 18:46

Permalink

any deck with removal would destroy this deck
any burn deck would destroy it as well
most agro would as well
you would only stand a chance vs a deck that required time to build up and doesn't have any early removal(then the deck is playable, but not agressive ennough

having no land slows your deck a lot and makes it vulnerable to most agro deck

simple solutions here:
1. quit raging
2. if you don't like it, ignore it
3. if you feel like you can't ignore it, then get off the site

also, exiling all the comments? whos childish?
and also, thank you for doing that also. now I can finish the list of people who do that and give it to the admins. They have been wanting to know. :D

this could fit in your deck as well Goblin Charbelcher
you probably would have the mana to activate it in turn 3 or 4
and since you have no land you would dea like 50 damage and place all card back in the librairy

About piper, its a 4 drop,.and by then I have enough mana to do everything, possibly win, so I took it out. Same.with aberration. Its good, but too expensive. Champion would be ok but I'll have enough tokens I don't need it and I already have the arch druid
