Nissa Elf Deck

by KyuubiFanatic on 21 December 2010

Main Deck (64 cards)

Sideboard (14 cards)

Enchantments (4)

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

Elves only. Very basic early concept, first time working with Elves so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Love Nissa and Elves in general, always wanted to make an all elf deck so here we go :)

Edit: Sideboarded some Asceticism for blue control and red burn decks, as well Ezuri himself for weenie decks due to his ability to give both a power boost and trample.

Oh and eladamri is awesome, but if he's in play you wouldn't be able to cast those instants on your elves. I suggest someone else. Elvish Champion maybe?

Yeah I realize that :( I decided to keep the Champions in my sideboard and replaced him with some rangers that give me land advantage.

Your deck is awesome btw :) I especially like the Magistrate so I moved them to my own sideboard as well ^_^

Well first off, this deck is veryy close to standard. Pesonally, i'd do the small tweaks to make it standard. I know you'd have to take out Gaea's Cradle, but still.
If you're going Legacy, i'd go all out. As for suggestions, there are some to consider (for Legacy). First of, you got the oldest tribal overrun card, Coat of Arms. This will make everyone huge. Heritage Druid makes elf decks fast, real fast. Combo with some Nettle Sentinels (if you have 3 out and the Hertiage Druid, you have be able to empty your hand with the free green mana). If you do go this route, Glimpse of Nature is what makes the mechanic run amazingly. Priest of Titania is of course a fantasy Elf legacy card, and would help pumping out the Warcallers for umpteen kicks. But what makes the elven army? Elvish Promenade. Use it to pump out tons of elves, and if the Coat of Arms or kicked Warcaller is out, it's game over. Super overrun. A little bit of fun you can have as well (i did this in my old elf deck for de lolz) is to get a ton on little guys out with the Promenades, have a Reliquary Tower out, and play a Collective Unconscience or Regal Force. Giant Hand! Yay. So there's some fun.
As for standard, if that's your route, i really don't know : / ive just used/seen Legacy elves, and id recommend those.
Hope some of it helped! Good luck.

Wow, amazing advice! Um, I really didn't have any plan in mind as far as Standard vs Legacy (I never play in tournys, just my college's local game club) I usually just build decks for what I'd like to play against some friends.

You're list of cards and tactics are a great help, and I have already implemented Coat of Arms, Elvish Promenade, and Warcaller in another deck of mine as I built this deck simply because I wanted to run a Nissa based deck (she's my third favorite planeswalker ^_^)

I will definitely use your advice for future elf decks. If you would, care to comment on this one?

I'd suggest going the tried and true route of Eldrazi Monument, using Nissa's Chosen as the sacrifice fodder. Even without Genesis Wave those decks are pains...

If I had to make an elfe deck I would base it on yours ... Nice mana curve smooth creature spawn nice land cycle maybe gaea is a little bit too expensive for another deck but in all its really good for me !
