Deck discussion for Modern Elves

Abrupt decay is more of a sideboard card for a deck like elves. You want to be the aggressor, especially in game 1. Shaman of the Pack is a fantastic card to replace those with (I had a friend who didn't like shaman when he built elves either, I convinced him to use them and he now sees them as the best card in the deck).

For mainboard lifegain, maybe kitchen finks would be better than thragtusk, since you can get it from collected company?

I also think that the 4th Archdruid is just better than the Elvish Champion, forestwalk isn't usually relevant because of how wide elves go on the board.

If you have the budget for them, a couple cavern of souls are very strong in the landbase

Other than that, looks good!

Thanks for the tips I'm a first time pilot for Elves when it comes to modern. im also new to modern in general I play legacy mostly and I try to keep two different decks going in each format like in Legacy I play Reanimater and Goblins. In modern I was playing Merfolk and Delver but i was hosed by Elves and didn't realize they were a thing in modern so my two Decks for modern will be Merfolk and Elves.

So one other thing is I dont know if the right number of Nykthos is 3 or 2 becuase it seems Archdruid is like the same thing

2 Nykthos is generally what you want. You never want that card in multiples

I think I will cut Abrupt Decays and add Beast Within. Also keep Verdant Catatomb in becasue it helps with better drawing
