Pointy ears and antennae

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

Tribal symbiosis is a "deck type" my buddies and I sort of created. The idea is to combine two tribes in a way that flows as if the deck were one single tribal.

I've already posted one before, Elves and Wolves, which is probably my best...and I might have to boast is THE best =P

This one: Elves and Insects =]

There's a lot of mana to be had in this deck, almost more than you could be expected to spend.

Oh yeah man. Ant Queen just craps out insects in this deck. I mean, just stupid amounts of insects per turn.

Best turn with her I've had yet: 5 untaps of Arbor Elf with the Wirewood Symbiote (had all 4 Arbors out, and one Wirewood Symbiote), to untap a forest with both Elvish Guidances on it all 5 times...with like...15 elves out. And then I used Garruk to untap my Gaea's Cradle and Oran-Rief...Oh and I had one of my Doubling Seasons in play =P

It was something like...270 or so 5/5 insects in one turn =P

Sweet deck--I've been thinking about making an elf/insect infect deck...I played a two-headed giant game with my elf deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=103549) and my buddy's basically-out-of-the-box infect deck...it was pretty gruesome.

DAMMMMMMMIIT!

As soon as I read the title of your deck I thought it was going to be a insect/elf infect with Swarmlord and the Viridians... I was a little bummed until I realized that it was a new idea and I could play with it...

Way to go Church! Ruin my element of surprise!

How were you able to make them all 5/5? That is pretty awesome though. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=185360

Oran-Rief adds +1/+1 counters, and with Doubling Season it adds another set of +1/+1 counters. But, you can use Garruk's ability to untap it and then use it again, adding 2 more +1/+1 counters!

I don't see enough elves for the Huntmaster but then I realized you have the Symbiote to return them :]

Yup! I'll admit, my Elf/Wolf dual tribe is my favorite, and probably always will be...but I am starting to really love this one too.

One of my buddies has a tribal symbiosis deck that is Bird/Soldiers...surprisingly it's pretty good.

Mr. WhyNot, it's good to see something besides extraction over here ;-)

I'm loving this, and it's fringing on territory I'm attempting to explore... Elf/Insect Infect

The only suggestion I can make is maybe some Skullclamps or other means of card draw? Infiltration Lens?

And I'm sure you've had your fill of it by now, but I've got a vampire based bloodcrank deck up that I wouldn't mind some feedback on :-)
