Deck discussion for Elves

For some protection, consider Moment's Peace over Fog. It costs a little more, but can be Flashbacked in times of need.

With elves, I would strongly consider Wellwisher just for fun. There's nothing wrong with a little lifegain. Fyndhorn Elves are the same things as Llanowar Elves should you want a little more acceleration.

If you like the equipment route, you could consider Accorder's Shield to turn one of your elves into a wall (effectively) and Loxodon Warhammer to give you some Trample to compliment Timberwatch Elf (which is explained below).

Lastly, I would strongly suggest Timberwatch Elves to assist as a kill condition. There's nothing like turning a 1/1 elf into a 14/14 and then smiliing when you say, "your turn."

I appreciate any comments or criticism you can offer on any of the decks that I have posted here (just click on my name to see my deck list). Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I'll take a look at your decks. I would like to keep this deck at 60 cards. To replace the cards with your suggested ones, I would like your opinion on what I should replace to put those in....Thanks again.

"One-of's" are always a great place to start when replacing cards. Nourish, Plummet, and Cultivate could all go. Wellwishers would be giving you life gain, tap for mana elves should be giving you the mana you need to avoid Cultivate, and one creature control card will never be there when you need it.

Keep Ezuri, though. He's a wonderful kill condition (I'm using his 'father' card in my Wirewood Aura deck).

As far as what else to remove, you need to look at each card individually and determine what is 'crucial' and situational. The more situational cards you have in the build, the more sporadic your success will be. Personally, I'm a 'live and die by' sort of player. I sell my soul to one concept and then go all out to make it happen. If overpowering is what you want, look for speed and strength in the size of 3 CC or less (including equipments and the equip costs).

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Thank you, I always find it the hardest part is what to replace/take out.

I have to agree with the Timberwatch Elves. As for the equipment, I have an elf deck that runs Coat of Arms.. .You may look into trying those instead of the swords... cost is 2 more, but you pump your elves... ALOT..

I thought of coat of arms before I put the sword of vengeance, but I'm always worried coat of arms would be used against me if an opponent has another creature-based deck.

Coat of Arms works, but you have so many cards already buffing the elves that I would probably avoid it also. There's nothing wrong with playing it, it really comes down to personal preference. Seriously consider Loxodon Warhammer, though.

ok i hate these kind of decks just in general cause they r do deadly:P but i do like this build, i would agree not to add coat of arms. if u want an over all power boost then go with Door of Destinies its way better. if possiable u could try to add in some overruns to really swing with a crazy number of elfs. awsome build!

lookin good. possiable other changes:

-2 enzuri +2 thornweald
-2 evlish pioneer +2 archdruid
-2 joraga +2 tajuru
-2 wren's run +2 llanowar

those r all just suggestions to ensure u get what u need in the duel. if u wanted to keep some of the removed cards as part of the deck u could just SB them so they r there when u need/want em. hope i helped, feel free to comment on any of mine.
