Deck Description

This is an all-green elf deck. It is based around the Devoted Druid / Quillspike Infinite Combo.

Devoted Druid has a 1 mana tap ability, and can be untapped when you put a -1/-1 counter on it. Consequently, removing one -1/-1 counter from a creature and paying 1 mana gives +3/+3 to Quillspike. Since Quillspike only consumes the resources made by Devoted Druid and removes its -1 counter, it can be played infinitely until Quillspike is infinite/infinite.

After that, there are three easy methods in this deck to ensure victory. The first method involves attacking with both the buffed up quillspike and taunting elf at the same time, forcing opponent's creatures to block Taunting Elf. The second method involves giving Quillspike trample (either through Overrun or Primal Frenzy), which would cause infinite damage to go through opposing player, regardless of how they blocked. The third (and most expensive) method involves using Flourishing Defenses, which causes a 1/1 token to be put into whenever a -1/-1 counter is put on an elf --> This will lead to infinite 1/1 tokens, and you can attack with everything, even if Quillspike becomes blocked.

The elves are mostly there to both add mana and serve as backup pumpable attackers.

Yeah, Rancor is a much better card that Primal Frenzy for the same mana cost. However, since I was actually making this deck in real life and ordering the cards I didn't have, I realized rancor was considerably more expensive (in dollars, not mana) than Primal Frenzy. I instinctively just put in the cards that I was using in my actual deck. Rancor retails at $3 a pop, while Primal Frenzy is just $0.25.

Ideally, if cost weren't an issue, I'd put in the 3 elvish archdruids and get rid of the greenweaver druids, since the archdruids provide considerably more mana.

Thanks for the feedback though!

you put a -1 -1 counter on the druid to untap her, not pay 1 mana to do it.

Good point, forgot about that while writing the summary. I changed it to what it's supposed to be. Thanks.
