Everyone else is doing it...so..

by FartherAway420 on 01 February 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

So after 16 years of Magic I have finally broken down and made an elf deck. Any tips are greatly appreciated, especially for good land cards to add. Gaea's Cradles are a little too pricey for me.

Deck discussion for Everyone else is doing it...so why not? (Elves)

I'm not knowledgeable about how T1 Elf decks are built, but I have to ask: why Staff of Domination? And, for that matter, why no Nissa? Is she too slow for T1 or just not worth it?

Priest of Titania and Staff of domination are a combo for infinite mana. Also with Imperious perfect out you can make infinite creatures and gain infinite life as well.

Also with Priest of Titania and the Staff you can draw infinite cards as well.

I'd take out staff of domination and get 3 naturalize in. Take out titania and get 4 elvish arcdruid. Take 2 heedless one out and put 2 Jagged scar archers. Also try to squeeze in 4 of the elves that put a elf token 1/1 every time you cast an elf spell. Hope to help. If you could check out my deck and help me http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=141729

Thanks for the tips. I think i might take out Heedless One and Immaculate Magistrate and replace them with Jagged Scar Archers and Elvish Arch Druids. Thanks!

Nice build, much in the style of my elf deck actually, you should check it out.

One major difference between our decks that I find very helpful is the concordant crossroads, it makes the deck accelerate a lot faster, especially combined with glimpse of nature. I also might consider taking 2 or 3 forest out, since you have plenty of mana acceleration. The only land besides the cradles (which I agree are way too pricey) I've found are wirewood lodges, but I found it actually slowed my deck down a little. My deck would definitely beat this one pretty consistently (it's third or fourth turn win), but yours is more well rounded, and I might consider emphasizing that with a little more protection and removal.

I'm yet to actually play with this deck yet, but once I do, lands will be one thing I know I will have to lower. You do have a few cards in your version that I like and may end up throwing in down the road, thanks!
