Necrotize on Best commander to abuse aluren?

@chirz2792: He can be built as Elfball, but I'm more partial to a toolbox deck that aims to combo out, usually with Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron off of Tooth and Nail, but you can also go for more interesting combos since you have green available. Palinchron + Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger is also infinite mana. Aluren + Cloudstone Curio + Tidespout Tyrant and 2 random cheap creatures in play lets you bounce everyone's permanents. Mana Vault + Sol Ring + Tidespout Tyrant is infinite mana in a really easy to assemble combo. Elfball has the same issue in Momir as it does in every deck, you're vulnerable to boardwipes, and you have to amass a huge board state to kill everyone. And even then, certain strategies can still delay you indefinitely. But if you go for combo/control, you can dictate the pace of the game somewhat and can use Momir to get cards you need for the situation at hand. Momir gets a huge target on his head if you're using him to tutor up elf lords twice a turn.

Then you can fill it with useful sub-3cmc creatures that have relevant ETB effects that you can abuse at instant speed with Aluren and get Momir triggers off of. Things like Reclamation Sage, Uktabi Orangutan, Trinket Mage, etc.
