In this week’s Durdling Around, Tumblr Edition: EUUGHHEUGHHEUUGHH
Various Elves of Magic the Gathering
“For what are leaves but countless blades To fight a countless foe on high.” -Elvish hymn
Q:I'd like to make an elf deck, I'd like it to be mono green and I have cards from M11, Scars, Zendikar Block and Shards Block. Any hints on what I really need?
Elvish Archdruid is nice, Joraga Treespeaker, Joraga Warcaller is a great multikicker card, Llanowar Elves, Mul Daya Channelers can be a 5/5 for three or give you mana, Nissa’s Chosen if you’re going to be playing with Nissa Revane, Elvish Visionary is nice. There isn’t much in Shards for a mono green elf deck (since the mechanic is multicolored decks and abilities). The only notable elf in Scars right now is Ezuri, Renegade Leader, who is amazing in elf decks.
Other non-elf spells you might consider:
Leatherback Baloth - You have the ability to cast him turn two.
Explore - Draws you a card at the very least
Garruk Wildspeaker - Another fairly reliable way to get an Overrun-type effect.
Hope that helps!
