Check back on my deck for additional thoughts?
Hi Gov, was thinking, maybe throw in a single card Imperious Perfect? Obviously you have your win-style for this deck down, but what if you had the occasional ace draw of pumping up all your elf-tokens? I see you have Creakwood Liege in your sideboard; maybe just add 1 instead of a pila-pala? It wouldn't change the overall strategy or statistical odds of your deck-combos dramatically, but would add an element of raw-flexible ownage if you play it late-game.
But you're right, perhaps my play group (and myself!) have a lot to learn. Kulkrath Knight is a brilliant idea. I'd considered quillspike a lot, but found that I actually lay down more punishment with my Safehold Elite. Do you have another substitution you would suggest?
To Govtgeek--Ha! Yes, it is a bit schizophrenic! While decks with copies of 4 tend to have very tight play styles, I try to be a bit more of a moving target in how I win, with the deck-strategy a little harder to pin down. (in this case, persist/wither/swarm). I pay more attention to character type (elves) and abilities (persist-wither) while keeping spell cost low, while reaping the benefits of character type AND a variety of abilites that come with playing more single copies.
Very elegant deck. I probably would throw in a Scar Deity or something. Also, maybe a mass trample instant or 2, just in case you get the chance to just token trample them. I have a black green deck that is winning in my circle consistently; just wanted to see if I could get some outside advice, if you'd be kind enough to take a look.
You have a very strong build here, definitely. If you are looking to change it up at all, though, I think you might make it even stronger by diversifying your creatures just slightly. If you're open to having a few more non-elves in the mix, I'd swap out a colossus and a fertile ground for a couple of dusk urchins. 3 fertile ground feels a little excessive in a 2 color deck, and even if the colossus is a bigger ass kicker, you'll still have 3 to stomp around with, with the urchin out front.
