Elvish Archdruid on turn 2 will still work, just need to get another 1 point elf into play before tapping him.

Thank you for this write up of the deck. I've been working on something similar but I don't have quite the same breadth of cards. One point before I burst though; Elvish Visionary - surely a shaman rather than a druid, or does MtG treat those both as the same thing?Anyhow the deck. And I'm really quite backward here; I spend so much time trying to find elves and druids that do stuff when they come into play that I forget there's other types of cards! So, yes, Quest for Renewal. I never knew that existed.My deck goes mana heavy, with Priest of Titania as well as the Elvish Archdruid. I've also got Elvish Harbinger but not so keen. And instead of Elvish Visionary (though if it counts as a druid I'm smacking it straight in) I have Yavimaya Elder. I have usually so much mana that 5 mana for 3 cards (2 lands plus one other from the top) seems OK even to the point of sacricing it the moment it hits play.Other version I've seen pack Glimpse of Natrure but at £12 a piece that's a bit pricey. Oh, and I've also gone the Heritage Druid / Nettle Sentinel route (like I said, heaps of mana).So I usually try to get Gilt-leaf out quickly, turn three works well enough, but before I lay too many low casting cost druids. Once gilt-leaf hits play, card draw isn't a problem so long as I have a couple of low point druids just to get the ball rolling.But enough for now. Thanks again for the deck list and, more imprtantly, the write up of the hows and whys each card was taken. I'll try to take from this and copy for any deck I put up.Cheers,The Purist
