got it too bad

For your sideboard, I think Relic of Progenitus is more versatile graveyard hate than Grafdigger's Cage , plus it draws you a card when you're done with it.

Cool deck!

yuval- Thanks! I have Grafdigger's Cage in there mostly for Melira Pod, and with the Relic if they combo once and I stop it, the still have their setup minus the Finks/Redcap, so they only need another one of those. I may replace it with Relic of Progenitus , though.

I usually like to do a 2-2 split, to provide the most versatility against lots of different kinds of decks.

I also usually have Torpor Orb in my sideboard too against Pod and Splinter Twin, but unfortunately for you it won't really work because it'll stop some of your own combos as well :(

yuval Thanks! I'll try the split and yeah the Torpor Orb not only stops all of my combos (Nettle Sentinel ) but also my win condition, Craterhoof Behemoth . So it's really good sideboard tech against me!

Actually, I don't think Torpor Orb prevents Nettle Sentinel from working. The orb only looks for ETB effects and the Sentinel triggers whenever you cast a green spell, which is something entirely different.

So, for example, if you were to cast an Elvish Mystic , and I were to Cancel it, Nettle Sentinel would still trigger and untap because you cast a green spell, even though that spell didn't resolve (and doesn't ETB). This illustrates that this trigger is different from an ETB trigger, and therefore wouldn't be affected by Torpor Orb .

Craterhoof Behemoth , on the other hand, would get totally hosed. As would Elvish Visionary , Cloudstone Curio , Beck / Call , and Regal Force . So yeah, still probably not a good idea to run it lol

yuval Yeah wow sorry didn't see that cast clause. I only use it with creatures (and the occasional Collective Unconscious ), so I forgot.

awesome deck! I'm lobing it and seriously considering changing mine to this!only thing i would change would be swapping the Elvish Mystic for Arbor Elf only because it can untap your Breeding Pool in case you need that extra blue mana, other than that it's awesome, +1!

AyeDavanita10- Thanks! I'll definitely change out those two elves. I just had Elvish Mystic in there because I like the art, not a fantastic reason.

no prob dude! glad to help although that art is awesome :p

AyeDavanita10- Ha it is awesome I agree but I just realized something in playtesting, maybe you could help me out. Arbor Elf does untap my Breeding Pool s, but I only have three of those, five forests, and the rest of my lands do not have the forest subtype, therefore Arbor Elf will sometimes not be able to make mana? Should I still run him or go back to the Elvish Mystic ?

you're totally right dude, i missread the list and thought you were running fetch lands, since you're not, Elvish Mystic might be better sorry for that dude!

AyeDavanita10- No problem, I probably should be running fetches but I can't afford them!

CardsAndStuff- i feel your pain dude :p

I would run Elvish Harbinger instead of heritage druid! That way you can just go fetch the archdruid, have mana of any color, not tap three elves for mana and have a little more defense!!!

And I would go for Joraga Warcaller instead of Nettle Sentinel because... well Sentinel sucks and joraga is like the best fucking card ever printed

metalaxe777- Well, Heritage Druid is probably the most crucial combo card in the deck. Its value isn't in being a mana producer, it's that it lets me use elves with summoning sickness to create mana, and to let elves that normally wouldn't make mana make mana, like Nettle Sentinel ! Elvish Harbinger is a good suggestion, but I have things that fetch creatures already, like Summoner's Pact , and they can get creatures that aren't elves. Thanks for the feedback, though.

metalaxe777- I think you should look in the description to see what the deck is about. What you're suggesting is elf aggro cards, while this deck is a combo deck based entirely around Heritage Druid and Nettle Sentinel .

Hey. i am not trolling here. I am new to magic. I was wondering what exactly a sideboard is and what it's purpose is... thanks. also. could you check out my decks. Operation Donation and Heroic Proportions. i need advice very badly.

Rhinowarrior- A sideboard is 0-15 cards that you "side in" to your deck after game one of a match (matches are usually bets of three). You take any amount of cards from your sideboard and switch them with that number of cards from your deck. It helps you build your deck to better fit your specific opponent.

oh cool! and do they always have to be 15?

its 0 or 15! OH and btw Sorry Cardsandstuff I literally did not watch the description before posting these comments xD it makes more sense now!!!

Rhinowarrior- Nope.

metalaxe777- Actually, they changed the rule. Now it can be anywhere in between 0 and 15 also!

cool!
