Boomerang or Eye of Nowhere. Yep. Both could work.

And smart thinking there, Puschkin. Didn't even think about using Echoing Truth on yourself.

Yeah, I smiled looking up Myr cards...when I seen Genesis Chamber/Myrsmith.

I actually have a question about this deck, if you can help.

Genesis Chamber and BattleSphere.
I have Chamber in play and play Battlesphere.
Do I just gain 1 creature token for Battlesphere...or do I get 5 tokens?

Phyrexian Possum suggested it too.

I just extremely hate Piledriver being chumped blocked by a 1/1. I hate it!!! But it is freaking awesome.

Recruiter is banned/restricted in Vintage. I did have him in the deck. Nice suggestion on that one, hann.
And i am running Chieftain over Goblin King or Goblin Warchief, only because Chieftain gives my Krenko/Siege tokens haste.

Thanks for the suggestions!!!

I can't do it NorthernWarlord. I have a weekly debate with my friend about Index sucking. And Preordain being better. Ponder and Brainstorm also being better.

I just really, really love Index. Love it. It was one of the first old cards to show the true potential of what Magic was about to become.

And you are right...I think this deck is going to be brutal. Might be the best deck of the 12 in the Creature Challenge tourney.

I just love Index because looking at top 4 cards of library is super, super deep searching. Out of 4 cards you are almost rest assured you will get a good card. With something like Gitaxian Probe...you might draw top card and the top card might be absolute crap.

Looks decent...but not sure what to take out.

This deck is tricky...mostly on the 1st turn drop. If I have Mother of Runes, Serra Ascendent, Soul Warden, and Champion of the Parish, Martyr of Sand.

If i get those 5 cards in my opening hand THEN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO PLAY ON MY FIRST TURN. Do i play Soul Warden for life gain? Do I play Champion so he starts getting his +1/+1 counters? Do I play Mother Of Runes for second turn chump blocking? Or do i play Martyr of Sand for the quickest ability of gaining life.

See what I mean?

But not sure what of those cards to take out so I can add Increasing Devotion...

As always, thank you for your advice! Didn't even know Increasing Devotion existed.

Thanks for the suggestions. Just not sure what to take out for any of that. I think Myr retriever has the most potential out of the mentioned cards.

Put in Oracle of Nectars, for sure. Glacial Chasm scares me...don't have nerves enough to play it. Constant Mist, absolutely, considering all of the mana that I have coming from my creatures, I can afford to sac a land.

Awesome suggestions!!! I hate to ask, Puschkin, but can you do the same for my other Creature Challenge Decks?

I am having a tourney between the Creature Challenge Decks. To see which creature type is the best. Or sort of. Mainly have time on my hands. Check any of them out (the creature types that you may be familiar with) and see if you see any cards that you would add/take out.

I think you just gave the Elf deck a better fighting chance.

Hurricane works, since you do not have flyers...and have mana producers.

Would consider 3 or 4 copies of Llanowar Druids for mana ramp, if you are using Hurricane. Sacking Llanowar Druids pretty much doubles damage done by Hurricane, right?

I hate begging for help and posting my decks...but since we are now, maybe, talking about a Hurricane/mana ramp sort of deck...could you check this deck out? Give advice. You always give well rounded advice.

http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/creature-challenge-7-elves/

Extra advice...consider running Ichneumon Druid against decks heavy with sorceries/instants.

And for Druidic Satchel/Snake Umbra...since you have 36 creatures in your deck...i would start by taking them some of them out. Not sure which ones, though.

Truth in those words. It might be hard to stay in theme and have creature removal.

Snakeform is about it. It makes a kick ass creature with awesome abilities a 1/1 snake creature until the end of turn...but it doesn't remove the problem creature. Temporal Spring is some bounce.

Not so awesome advice given to you by Kuheldj and demonicshock.

You were wrong in removing Priest of Titania. It is one of the best Elves in Magic. It is rated 4/5 out of 5 stars, for a reason. You can run Archdruids and Priest of Titania together.

Consider Rofellos.

And Nissas Chosen is awful! Just an awful card. If you are looking to keep Elves in your hand and on the board...then run Sylvan Messenger. It is much, much better than Nissas Chosen.

And you are running against a Vampire deck, right? Well then, add in Darkwatch Elves. It will devastate your opponent. It can't be blocked by black creatures, can't be sacked, or can block your opponent and not die. Also, Sword of Feast and Famine will absolutely kill your opponent's Vampire deck. Darkwatch Elves and Sword of Feast and Famine will help out a bunch, in beathing a Vampire deck.

Advice Wiedadde, look at other people's decks and give them advice, and they will look at your decks and give advice.

Good luck.

As always, you build some of the most well rounded decks on this site (especially considering there are only creatures and lands in this deck).

Flavor text with Snake Basket and Citanul Flute...nice.
Drawing power with Drumhunter is and all the mana producers make the deck well rounded.
You have artifact/enchantment hate for your opponent.

Very nice. I am liking the deck, only suggestions I might suggest would be something like adding Fog/life gain/life prevention.
Or maybe, since it is mentioned on your "How to Play" section...I might run 3 or 4 copies of Citanul Hierophants.

Good luck.

Yes, Umbric, Echoing Truth is way better than Disperse. Good catch on that one. One up on that suggestion. It is a better card PLUS it is budget.

Probably mix of theme and a good general synergy. I mean, there are over 200 Creature Types in Magic...and almost everyone uses the same 20 or so. Goblins. Elves. Slivers. Beasts. Humans. Vampires. Faeries. Wurms. Myrs. Etc, etc, etc.

But that leaves like 180 something creature types available to use.
Every see anyone play a Advisor deck? Or Badger deck? Or Camel deck? Or Dwarf? Or Egg deck? The list goes on...

My next challenge will be for me to pick two creature types that no one uses, and see if works.

What about Cats and Dogs? Can they behave together?
Ajani. Firecat Blitz, Waiting in the Weeds, and White Sun's Zenith all produce cat tokens. Plus there are 124 cat cards to choose from.
53 Hound cards to choose from.

Good luck!

And have another challenge for you Warlord. Know how everyone plays the same subtype creatures? Goblins? Elves? Faeries? Humans? Etc?

I want to try to mix two of the much lesser known creature types of Magic, combine them, and make a deck. Let me look around, see what mixes and matches well.
