Budget Decks: Elf-Mob

by NorthernWarlord on 23 August 2014

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

Are you bored? Does Magic: The Gathering feel old and vapid? Got any useless bucks in your bank account? Ladies and Gentlemen, I have solution.
Use your bank account on nearest MtG marketplace website and buy some cheap cards, craft a deck, and challenge your friends! To double the fun, ask your friend to create such a deck too!
The Budget Decks -series is meant for your free time! These are meant to inspire you, and deck's value is meant to be low! (Between 10 and 20 bucks.)

How to Play

It looks pretty neat, I must admit. I chose to try using Kithkin Mourncaller and Skyshroud Poucher this time with elves. They seem to be working.
What do you think?

Gather a big elf mob and smash some faces! Lys Alana Huntmaster provides you quickly with elves, Archruid provides you with mana, and Overrun provides you with the killing blow.

Why Naturalize in maindeck, sb it and put any other elf in there, http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/decks/budget-elf-elf-elf-overrun/
Also i would playset Lys Alana Huntmaster, it's a really good card.

Naturalise is pretty mandatory now since the addition of enchantment creatures.
It was always a nice enchantment/artifact remover, but now it has become a 2-mana versatile murder.

Great mobbing deck. I would consider the following cards though :)

1. Hunting Triad
2. Wirewood Hivemaster (welll I'm just going to put lots of these elves out. See what happens :) )
3. Heedless One (oh btw my creature is currently a 10/10 trampler)
4. Ezuri (if it fits in the budget)
5. Harmonize (I think you'll need some draws)

But man, these elves and their ability to overflow the battlefield. So good XD

ezuri's archers would be good to have something to deal with flyers or thornweald archer has reach and deathtouch

Agreed! Wren's Run Vanquisher would be great as well!

Nice Deck. I have some thoughts.
-Don't bother making low budget decks if you can't even play them in Modern, let alone Standard. There is no point in using legacy or vintage cards, in my opinion.
-You have a few too many elves, and not enough spells to support them.
-Get rid of the Poacher, it's not as good as it seems. Especially because most of your elves only cost 1-3 mana anyway.
-Nissa's Chosen isn't very strong either.
-Prey Upon is a decent Budget-replacement for Setessan Tactics, but you'll need some higher powered creatures, if you're going to pick "fights". And you probably don't need more than x2 or x3.

Thoughts appreciated.
Though I must immediately respond to your first argument that these ARE NOT MEANT FOR ANY KINDS OF TOURNAMENT PLAY. Just for casual. Don't say that you've never read the deck description of my Budget Decks -series.

Sorry. I guess I should have done that first, especially because I like your work.

I play MTGO and if you have anything older than a shiny Ravnika Porsche, they force you to play against folks using some very powerful sh#t. So, it's very hard to win any games when you have unnecessary old cards in them.

I don't play MTGO, but that sounds like a bad problem. I'm sorry about it.

Hmm ... you think you could make a "budget" MTGO deck Northy? Perhaps that 2$ might do the trick. :)

Nice looking elf deck northy! Headless one could be great and coiling oracle snake elf for the win!

Check out my new standard deck blue devotion midrange could be good
