Meta Changes + New Cards —May 6, 2022
Updated as of 5/6/2022
Making some more changes to Ezuri to increase its overall competitiveness and compete with new meta changes.
Added Cards:
Carpet of Flowers: Mana Ramp + Fixing Should've been included years ago but I was stubborn :)
Shared Summons: Mainly used to tutor for missing combo pieces. Usually the two targets are Ashaya, Soul of the Wild & Quirion Ranger.
Collector Ouphe: We benefit from a slower game than most decks. Ouphe is easily tutorable and although it stops Umbral Mantle & Staff of Domination win conditions, its overall stax capability hinders treasures and turbo decks.
Vivien on the Hunt: Birthing Pod on a walker, with card-advantage, and the ability to create protectors.
Viridian Revel: In the right situation, can generate a bunch of card draw with how relevant treasures have become in cEDH today. This is more a niche testing card.
Boseiju, Who Endures: Best green card printed this year.
Circle of Dreams Druid: Gaea's on a creature.
Cut Cards:
Vivien, Monsters' Advocate: Great card but replacing with Vivien on the Hunt. Casting of the top of the deck is nice but never gets fully utilized, especially with Drannith Magistrate being so relevant.
Lightning Greaves: Great protection + haste. However stops Ezuri from protecting elves. Plus Collector Ouphe makes this a dead card.
Emerald Medallion: Usually not needed, unless we get it out extremely early its usually a dead draw. Plus most of the time we need green mana, not colorless discounted. Carpet of Flowers is going to be substituted for better mana fixing.
Krosan Grip: Boseiju, Who Endures is just a complete upgrade plus a land.
Llanowar Tribe: Circle of Dreams Druid is a complete upgrade.
Llanowar Visionary: Slow, can combo with Aluren + Cloudstone curio for infinite draw, but other than that its a 3 mana for a dork most of the time.

also, I definitely recommend Benefactor's Draught. this card is definitely a key piece to going off, and can combo pretty good with e-wit/sabertooth.

I was inspired in your deck, i builded a similar one and it's a blast!
A question, i have Grim Monolith, could be added to make a infinite combo with some of the other combo pieces in this deck? Thanks

Hey! Thanks for support and Its awesome to hear that my deck has made an impression on you! As for turn 0 its really depends on your playgroup. If you are mainly going against stax pieces such as Linvala than I would mulligan aggressively for either Kenriths transformation, beast within, or even Kogla or a way to get Kogla (Natural Order etc...)
Counterspell decks than I would try to get either of the Veils or Alosaurous shephard.
The problem with this deck is we try to win as fast as possible, but also run the risk of dumping our hand quickly with no real plan and having to draw for an answer which leaves us very vulnerable. Scenarios like this I would get Ezuri on the field quickly to garner protection for my other more important elves while waiting for an answr.

awesome list! I assume you are running Circle of Dreams Druid, its too good not to. Also, an infinite I don't see mentioned is the Argothian Elder + Maze of Ith combo (maze of ith is better now that we have yavimaya)
