Primal Surge and get a Craterhoof Behemoth would just be gg!

Kornex2000 I've had a few friends suggest Craterhoof Behemoth , I think he'd be pretty amazing, although for now I'm going to stick to a Tribal deck. Definately will add that to the maybeboard though, thanks for the suggestion

Saithor Imperious Perfect would work pretty well, however Elvish Archdruid already gives other elves +1/+1, and Nissa Revane is already bringing in 2/3 elf warriors (Nissa's Chosen ) So I think I already have those two aspects covered, but thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe a Biomass Mutation or something for the infinite mana?

iheartblue It's a good idea, however I'm still trying to keep to the instant win from Primal Surge by running an all permanent deck. Thanks for the suggestion though!

no problemo! you might want to find a mana sink though...

December 16, 2013 8:51 p.m.

Bigbadbear88 says... #8

iheartblue the mana sink is Joraga Warcaller , can be infinitely kicked for a similar effect as Biomass Mutation , just longer lasting

Ok let's see first you don't need so much Nissa Revane she brings in all elves so no point is wasting $$ for 4 at max 2

Personally Nissa's Chosen is pointless so -4 make it 4 Llanowar Elves and 4 Elvish Mystic take out 4 Fauna Shaman as they just mill your good elf card's add 4 Elvish Harbinger I would get rid of 4 Priest of Titania because with Llanowar Elves and Elvish Mystic you won't need it i would put in 3 Immaculate Magistrate for these are important early game with Joraga Warcaller and for joraga only have 2 no point in kicking 1 to add +1+1 to other Joraga Warcaller Asceticism is pointless because you already have Ezuri, Renegade Leader who regenerates Staff of Domination is also not nessecary i would add more Forest

40cal says... #11

Ok seriously -4 Fauna Shaman and +4 Elvish Harbinger

40cal with those changes it's a completely different deck. This is mostly based on the infinity combo, Primal Surge , Nissa Revane bringing out a lot of elves, and Elvish Archdruid or Priest of Titania plus the Staff of Domination is an insta win, them plus Joraga Warcaller is +10/+10 all around, and Asceticism is to handle my weakness to removal, not for the regeneration. Nissa's Chosen is vital to getting out a ton of elves onto the battlefield, as well as increasing my devotion for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx so that nykthos gives me 10+ mana, as well as adding elves and disposable creatures for Joraga Warcaller to buff and Elvish Archdruid to be buffed by. The extra mana isn't necessary, as I have so many alternate mana sources. Staff of Domination is completely unnecessary but fun as hell to use, and in my opinion Fauna Shaman is more useful than Elvish Harbinger who makes it so you don't take another additional draw next turn, as I'll always have an elf I don't need to sacrifice with Fauna Shaman . Thanks for the suggestions though, but with that many changes it's a very different deck

Ok big bad i guess you are not looking for mordern cause if not my legacy elf deck could destroy this way to many planeswalkers and legendaries Plus you can't get mana at all from this

December 19, 2013 6:07 p.m.

40cal says... #14

You have got to be kidding me your Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx wont do anything because you have 4 you got no devotion to forest

December 19, 2013 6:11 p.m.

Umbral Mantle is 1 cheaper to use than Staff of Domination (don't have to pay 1 to use it again). Not that it matters a whole lot when you go infinite, but hey every bit helps. Also Timberwatch Elf and Wellwisher go nicely with all of that infinite mana floating around.

December 19, 2013 6:40 p.m.

40cal says... #16

Na much better cards out there then timberwatch elvesfor example Jagged-Scar Archers

December 19, 2013 8:01 p.m.

Ohhhh I totally forgot about Jagged-Scar Archers, definitely preferable.

ChasingSuns707 Thanks for the suggestions! I think I might stick with Staff of Domination though because it has draw card, tap, untap, and life gain, so if I can pull of an infinite mana combo (5 elves out including one Elvish Archdruid or Priest of Titania I get infinity life, tap all your creatures, draw all the cards I want, and play everything, as well as make everything Infinity/Infinity by infinitely kicking Joraga Warcaller.

40cal I've already considered Jagged-Scar Archers , I might be putting it in. I get plenty of devotion to green for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , as the Nissa's Chosen give 2 devotion each, each 1/1 elf give 1 devotion, Nissa Revane gives 2 devotion, and Elvish Archdruid and Ezuri, Renegade Leader give 2 devotion each. I can tap for over 10 without much of an issue with it. Regardless, I've been thinking of something to replace Priest of Titania with to remake it as a modern legal deck. Any suggestions on what to put in for Priest of Titania would be welcome

Mithrandrir says... #19

PERHAPS! Just perhaps, you could replace Priest of Titania With Viridian Joiner . The mana tap is nowhere near as good as Priest most of The time... But with your Joraga Warcaller it has the potential to be HUGE so in your deck'$ setup I could see it Generating Loads of G for you.

Bigbadbear88 says... #20

Mithrandrir is Viridian Joiner modern legal? :O

December 23, 2013 4:03 p.m.

Mithrandrir says... #21

Sure is!

Bigbadbear88 says... #22

Mithrandrir Ive been thinking about Viridian Joiner , and I dont think itll be quite as useful as youd first think. In order to increase its power, I need to have Immaculate Magistrate , a kicked Joraga Warcaller , a buff from Ezuri, Renegade Leader or an Elvish Archdruid out. All of those ways are rather mana costly, so Id most likely already have a large mana source such as Elvish Archdruid or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx out, so I wont have much need for Viridian Joiners mana at that point. Thanks for the suggestion, but Im going to try to find another elf that taps for # of elves or a similar ability, like Priest of Titania does, except a modern legal replacement. I might end up putting more Tutors in its place to help me draw Elvish Archdruid .

December 24, 2013 2:02 p.m.

Mithrandrir says... #23

Definitely all sound reasoning.

You really need to add several more lands in there. I randomly used your deck to playtest against mine, Fire Doll and it could never get off the ground without any mana.

Bigbadbear88 says... #25

@jasinatael what's Fire Doll? And I've found after a lot of playing this deck that 14 is the right amount. Otherwise, you get flooded with unnecessary land draws. I always have enough mana to play my creatures, and besides, turn 3 I can get out Asceticism making all of my mana elves pretty much unkillable
