MTG Salvation

Alright I have had some experience with the deck now and am extremely satisfied with how the deck is operating so far. I wouldnt mind a few helpful hints as to how to tweek it but other than that its working great.

Off the top of my head: Hibernation's End is really good in elves.

Good call I added it to the list

Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary is banned as a general, but not as a card in the deck.

Elvish Guidance gets silly.

Gauntlet of Power
Worldly Tutor
Primal Command

There is also some artifact that makes you discard your hand then then draw cards equal to the number of creatures you control.

Ok I added the Elvish Guidance, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary is great and all but I just dont have all that much I am trying to ramp to. Yes he is amazing and its a lot more free overruns I get to cast off with my general however, I have concerns paying that much money for a card that I dont know currently how effective it will be. I will try to give it a proxy period and try it out.

Hummm Gauntlet of Power. Not a bad idea, but I dont know if it belongs in here. I am trying to run a bit smaller mana curve than I usually do as most of the elves in here dont cost more than 3-4 mana. I think Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary would make the cut b4 gauntlet.

The tutor is a good idea. I want tutors that dont cost me cards though so I am putting in the Primal Command, Chord of Calling, and currently contemplating adding tooth and nail. However with such small targets to hit tooth and nail seems almost discouraging to pay 9 mana for. However it is nice card advantage and the creatures of my choice.

I am also tinkering with the though of maybe running Storm Front as it seems like it could be a fun defensive enchantment as I am mono green with no flying defense other than trying to wipe them all out.

This card is called Slate of Ancestry.

Alright guys now I am going to need some help culling down my deck a bit. Unfortunately I am like 6 or so cards over the limit and there are still some cards I wouldnt mind making the cut as well.

I went away from the idea of using cards like hurricane and squall line as they solve my fling issues once but then I am vulnerable again. I am now using enchantments that for the most part allow me to try to block the flyers as I have to face up against decks like Scion of the Ur-Dragon who can 2 shot me without flying defense.

Also I got rid of some of the elves that produced non elf tokens. The idea behind this general is to get a bunch of spare mana avalible, drop some elves on the table and see how many times I can hit the overrun button. Producting non elf tokens while it is still good just feels like I am asking for people to wrath me off the board faster. Its not that it wouldnt be good stuff but its taking up room.

Finally I have some worry about my card drawing mechanics. I am currently using up a lot of room in the deck with card drawing mechanics to refill my hand but most of them rely on how many creatures I have on the board and or how much mana I can provide which goes back to how many creeps on the board. While I want to keep them all I might have to consider cutting one or two of the effects. If I have to I would prefur to keep the ones that vary in power depending upon how much mana I can give it over the ones that rely on how many creeps I have on the board. But who knows. I suppose I wont know how it plays for a few weeks yet till I can get my hands on the new cards.

Some of the cards I currently have that are in question to be cut are:
Harmonize This is only a draw 3 cards for one card. I feel like a lot of my other card drawing mechanics are much stronger
Tribal Unity My general is built to do the powering up, while this is a bit stronger a buff its not giving trample and seems to be taking up a spot.
Collective Unconscious While this is a great great card it has the disadvantage that it only works when my board is doing well. I cant tutor for it either like I can the Regal Force who will always get a draw one off of himself. Plus the slate of ancestry is a very similar effect that can be repeated. I have to dich my hand to it but I have very few cards that need to stay in hand so I can just empty my hand and refill off the slate.

Mana Reflection is awesome.

Ok I am going to bump my elves to get some new input now that I have played the deck some and gotten some additions to my list. There are a few cards in the deck offhand that I cant recall so the deck wont quite be 100 cards just ignore that currently. If you have any more suggestions I would gladly hear them out. Also please look over the wishlist I have doctored up. At the top of my list of additions I would love to see the cauldron of souls, whirlwind, and Brass Herald in the next modification to the deck, but am still a bit weary of what to cut. I would love some input.

um.......
And don't doubt Elvish Promenade , my envio. is filled with L&CD, and it still goes off for about 7 each game (4-125) .

Also, Eldrazi Mounment and Akroma's Memorial seem good.

You can get unlimited mana with either Umbral Mantle or Sword of the Paruns when combined with any of the following:

• Wirewood Channeler
  
• Elvish Archdruid
  
• Priest of Titania
  
• Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary
