I'm a player form reunion island and i play an ezuri's deck.
So, do you realy have the time to use genesis wave? My board is destoyed before i use it.
And can you also explain your cards choices and some combos/tricks?
And why Selvala? and not Gaddock Teeg or Rhys?
Did you tried Karn liberated or the lorwyn garruk? (sorry i don't remember his name in english)
First , my choice for Selvala is because for just 1GW she is an elf 2/4 ( does she survive to some damage spells , anger of the gods , bolt , and block some relevant generals as Narset, Enlightened Master and Geist , the Saint Traft ) and it covers two very important points .
1- Gain Life and generates mana , which speeds up my game and give me a certain advantage against aggro decks as Anafenza ;
2- It allows me to draw cards (something very difficult in these colors ) which allows me to continue to breath during the game. And find the cards to make combos .
My combos / interactions :
1- Wirewood Symbiote + Mirror Entity + Mana Generator Creature who produce 3 or more mana + some haste engine (Concordant Crossroads; Lightning Greaves; Thousand Year's Elixir) = Infinity Mana and Infinity damage.
Produce 3 mana(or more). Spend 1 mana to Mirror Entity transform all creatures into Elves 1/1. Use Wirewood Symbiote to return himself to hand and untap mana produce guy. Spend 1 mana to cast Wirewood Symbiote(you have 1 mana on pool). Tap mana guy to produce mana 3 mana(4 on pool), Spend 1 mana to transform Symbiote again. Just repeat to infinity mana. Spend x mana to transform all creatures on x/x creatures and attack.
2- Mana Generator Creature who produce 4 ou 5 mana + Umbra Mantle or Staff of Domination = Tap guy to produce 4, spend 3 to untap with Umbra Mantle, have 1 on pool, tap again to 5 mana, spend 3 to untap and repeat to infinity mana and infinity/infinity creature. If you have Selvala on board, you can equip Umbra Mantle to Draw your deck and cast all creatures too.
With Staff of Domination, you need 5 mana, 3 to untap mana produce guy, 1 to untap Staff and 1 to accumulate mana on Pool and spend on Staff to draw all cards on deck with infinity mana to cast all creatures.
3- Tooth and Nail + some creatures = Cast Tooth and Nail with Entwine to Search Craterhoof Behemoth and Restoration Angel. Trigger Craterhoof Behhemoth , and blink Craterhoof with Restoration Angel, you have 2 Behemoth triggers. All creatues have +4/+4 trample only with Behemoth and Angel.
3 random elves + Behemoth and Angel you have +10/+10 is insane damage.
4- Survival of Fittest + 2 green Mana and some creatures on board + 1 creature on hand = Spend Green mana to discard a creature, search for Behemoth, spend another green mana to discard Behemoth and search for Karmic Guide. You can cast Karmic Guide and target Behemoth, trigger Behemoth and +X/+X to all creatures and Trample.
5- Alluren + Glimpse of Nature + Cloudstone Curio + 1 creature with 3 cmc or less on board + 1 creature with 3 cmc or less on hand = You cast Glimpse and cast for free a cmc 3 or less creature, use Cloudstone Curio to back another creature with cmc 3 or less on board to hand. Draw a card with Glimpse and looping until search another win combo.
6- Temur Sabertooth + Mana Guy who produce the own mana cost + 3 + some haste engine (Concordant Crossroads; Lightning Greaves; Thousand Year's Elixir) = Infinity Mana and ETB interaction.
Just produce mana, spend 2 to active Temur Sabertooth to back mana Guy, cast again, produce mana and looping it. After infinity mana, you can use Elvish Visionary to draw your deck, Infinity Behemoth Triggers, infinity removal with Duplicant,etc.
BTW Genesis Wave is an excelent card to be used and when u make a good mana generator guy as the priest of titania, Elvish Archdruid I usually use , and ox on average about 8-9 which is more than enough to give you much advantage and often win the game in the same turn .
I made some changes on the list and now I use Garruk Wildspeaker on the deck and it's incredibly good. The Karn n got to test , but it is a possibility.
Sorry for any english error, I'm not very good with the language.
