Hello Internet!!!

Just your run of the mill constructed Spike looking to have a little fun with EDH! We're taking a small spin on a traditional Elf Ball deck. The main issue with a tribal, go side style of deck comes when any sory of board sweep or larger interaction gets in the way. To remedy this we're adding a few "dies matters" effects that will benefit the board weather or not our creatures live or die. We also have the usual payoff of Craterhoof Behemoth when needed.

Elf death triggers

Miara, Thorn of the Glade, Skemfar Avenger, The Meathook Massacre, Elderfang Venom, Poison-Tip Archer. These give us some added value if the board is wiped or messed with.

Elf go-wide payoffs

Allosaurus Shepherd, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Shaman of the Pack, Skemfar Shadowsage, Craterhoof Behemoth. Are the usual go wide elf payoffs. We'll flood the board and Lathril, Blade of the Elves also provides a miniatureFireball effect to close out games.

Game plan and Strategy

We'll stick to the usual elf game plan of playing a large amount of creatures very quickly and use our synergies to overwhelm our opponents. Glimpse of Nature is a legacy card that we'll leverage to get an obscene amount of card advantage and board presence in one turn. Cloudstone Curio is another means to re-trigger enters the battlefield effects or continue to combo off.

Other parts of the game plan involve leveraging good GB removal and interaction to remove must kill game pieces from our opponents, while still keeping our game plan proactive.

So that's the V1 of the deck. I'm going to try to find a community to test it. Any updates will be documented and noted also. Please feel free to comment on improvements, ideas, stories with similar decks, or really anything you like!
