Elder of Laurels is not a very powerful card. But it is a fun one, and in this deck this favourite card of mine really gets to shine.

Tana is a great token generator who works especially well with Elder of Laurels. Add in the fact that both of these have no more than two power, pair up with Sidar Kondo, and you get a deck where size really does matter - and where the small are truly powerful.

This deck makes great use of «low power matters-cards», like Dusk//Dawn, Meekstone and a large amount of small creatures and token producers. Boosting Tana with the Elder is fun, but certainly not the only thing we can do: with or without these favourites we will make a large army of small creatures and make sure they get through, stick around, and smash face.

Bring your hopes and you prayers – and your swords and torches too! Soon the meek shall inherit yet another victory!
