The list is a basic throw-up of the elves deck. I've been testing it for about a week on Ctrice, and I spent a few hours with my playgroup this evening playing around with it and a couple other decks I've been toying with. It's hyper-aggressive with long-term reach in the form of the Obelisk and the Shaman. The Shrieks make this deck an aggro contender, allowing it to win races with pure surprise and close out games much quicker than most opponents suspect possible. Toughest match-up so far has been a UB Control list with MB aggro hosers like 4 Bile Blight and other hate.
Because the deck is so straightforward, I decided with the sideboard to keep it pretty linear; creature-based, not a lot of non-creatures will work in this deck.
The Eyeblight Assassin's come in *solely* on the play, against aggressive decks and mana dork decks (read: RG Devotion).
The Sage is in there as a catch-all, who knows what the format brings right?
The extra Shriek is for winning Aggro mirrors, lifegain is very relevant. Also comes in against control, need to close that game out quickly.
The Disciple is for aggro mirrors that have reach also (read: Goblin decks).
The 1-of Visionary is for Control decks. Advantage is king, I've heard. Deadbridge Shaman is the one I'm least happy about, but in midrange matches he really pulls a bit of weight. He's either a 3/1 beater or he's making them ditch a random card, which is pretty relevant when they're only looking at getting 5-6 draw steps, either getting blown out or wiping my board.
The extra Lord comes in for grindier games, also for aggro b/c of his lifegain.
Nylea is for midrange style decks, also Monster decks, because it's a fatty that has potential to pump a guy or two. Trample is also nice.
Any questions or suggestions, please feel free! I'm working with a lot of decks right now, so I might take a little while to get back to this haha.
