** PLAY VIDEO TO MAXIMIZE YOUR DECK VIEWING EXPERIENCE **

By request from xOmega0wlx, here is my take on elephant tribal.

In my ongoing endeavor to bring frugality to Commander, each card in this deck is under $2 and the whole deck is under $40 (not including the commander). If you like what you see, UPVOTE! or you can check out all my other $40 budget decks. If you see some areas of improvement, let me know what you'd change. Just make sure all suggested cards are under $2.

The Strategy

1) Hopefully get some ramp early to help out

2) Play Selvala, Explorer Returned. You shouldn't get any hate for this as it is group hug card draw with just a little ramp

3) Start slamming those elephants down and trampling your opponents

The Win Cons

1) Elephant army

Do we really need another one?
