+1 for a great deck! I think zero mana creature spells such as Ornithopter, Memnite, Phyrexian Walker, and Shield Sphere would be great. Also, in the 'So How does The Deck Win?' category, the word Glimpse is spelled glipmes.

Great deck! Although I do suggest Survival of the Fittest (or Evolutionary Leap if budget) over Descendants' Path.

Query. Why Polluted Delta?

Would Undergrowth Champion or Master Biomancer be good with Ezuri. Just thought i ask and seen people's reaction.

Undergrowth Champion probably would be. Not do sure about Master Biomancer.

@illumfolly, you're good.

@Dredge4life, I could and I like the card except for the cost to equip. Feels way too much for almost too little.

@EDH_decks, thanks I'm glad you like the deck. I'm not a huge fan of the 0 CMC creatures because they go outside of the tribal set up and don't offer utility unless I'm already going on a Glimpse of Nature chain. Typo fixed, thank yo SO much for letting me know.

@Campbell527, I agree. I'm going with Evolutionary Leap since they fill different roles. Leap functions something closer to Skullclamp and does more with tokens/against wrath effects. I think that's more what the deck needs.

@Clarken1, I've answered both of these before. I personally don't like Master Biomancer because it non-bos hard against the general's ability. Undergrowth Champion is fine, I just don't play it since I'm playing elf-bomb so creature types matter enough that I can't really add more non-elves than I have now.

Fable of Wolf and Owl is a must in Ezuri

But doesn't equipping Blade of Selves to Avenger of Zendikar tempt you? Also, Fable of Wolf and Owl.

November 18, 2015 7:29 a.m.

iLikeDirt says... #10

It is tempting, but if I've managed to land Avenger of Zendikar with my general in play thats just so win-more to do it again. Most any other creature I would slap it on is really only mediocre, or at least not worth the 6 mana investment in my opinion.

I could maybe see Fable of Wolf and Owl, purely because it gives me free triggers for just playing the deck.

do you need so many islands?

November 18, 2015 3:29 p.m.

Dredge4life says... #12

Ah I see. Yes, that would be a win-more.

November 18, 2015 8:52 p.m.

Dredge4life says... #13

I've just now playtested this deck, and I'm afraid you've created a monster. This thing wins consistently on turn 4 or so. Great job!

Awesome deck!

Obviously your deck has a pretty consise theme. What are your thoughts on Etched Oracle, Fathom Mage, Blighted Agent, and Thrummingbird?

November 21, 2015 3:44 p.m.

ghode says... #16

blighted agent is a little op I think... (personally not a big fan of infect in commander)

November 21, 2015 4:33 p.m.

CuteSnail says... #17

Wouldn't say its op, but its good. I personally prefer Invisible Stalker.

wwhitegoldd says... #18

Whirler Rogue seems pretty good to me. Gives you three triggers and can make that HUGE creature unblockable? (Although that could just be my unhealthy love and obsession with rogue talking. :))

Hey I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but Devoted Druid lets you turn ezuri's counters into storable mana.

Hey guys, sorry for the hiatus (last few weeks of the semester and work make it hard to ever have time to really respond :c).

@FourDoughnut: Thank you! Fathom Mage I have discussed before with people on here and a few friends/people at my LGS and the conclusion that I keep coming to is she is good, but dillutes a little too far from Aluren/elf bomb plan a bit. She is far better served in a version of Ezuri that isn't focused on a tight CMC and set of creature types. Similar reasons where I probably wouldn't play the other two either, I can't see a good enough reason to go outside of those two sets of criteria (outside of not wanting to play infect as well, there's a reason I don't have Glistener Elf here.)

@ghode: I'm not a fan of infect either for only one reason, you are THE target 99.99% of the time when your group sees you can even do it. Otherwise I think it's actually pretty fine.

@NecroPony: I agree with your assessment. Hexproof > infect

@wwhitegoldd: I love the rogue, but I'm not entirely convinced he quite does enough. Yes, you can push like 20+ damage in a single swing but it doesn't win the game the turn I play it and therfore will get the other 3+ players to turn around and kill me if someone doesn't kill/counter it, because nobody wants to deal with that shit lol.

@Zues13082: I was aware of the interaction, or made aware of it shortly after building the deck, I've actually picked one up. I just haven't slotted it in yet, thank you for the suggestion. c:

I love Ezuri as a commander. I recently got the deck as a birthday present and combined it with my Arcanis the Omnipotent and Ezuri, Renegade Leader decks, and he's realy good. Is Birthing Pod too slow? It works pretty well for me, and usually gets me two two experience counters per turn.

First id like to say that you build a pretty impressive list/deck.I tried to do gb elves too and was greatly inspired by the way you compleated ezuri.. ;)

Just some choices i experimented with and wonder if you considered them aswell:

Thrummingbird - low cost, evasion and a nice trigger. In my build it worked very well so far.

Elvish Archdruid - fits perfectly, does everythimg we want while being an elf.

Inexorable Tide - a gimmick, clunky and probs not worth it.

Hornet Queen - not as good as avenger, but triggers ezuri well and pumpable deathtouchers with evasion are cool.

Tezzeret's Gambit - maybe just too cute?

Treasure Cruise - was great for me. Helped a lot after being wrathed, same as Dig Through Time.

Triumph of the Hordes - its another overrun effect. Lethal everytime I cast it.

Genesis Wave - ramp, spit beaters trigger and maybe net the crossroads (actually happened). Just a way to not needing a draw chain.

Glen Elendra Archmage - reusable wrathprotection on a flying stick. I know what you said about your deck and counterspells but this I find strictly better then say mystic snake (i guess you wont be countering creatures anyway).

Would be nice if you shared your thoughts about that, id really love to know! :)

I have some Druids along with Gilt-Leaf Archdruid in my Ezuri Deck. It's pretty fun.. ;)

Sorry again for the hiatus! With school and work, I sadly don't have as much time to update my stuff as much as I used to :/

@DrownBot: It makes my day that the deck inspired somebody else to make something similar =P Out of that list the only ones I've considered were Elvish Archdruid and Glen Elendra Archmage really. I've played with Glen being an abusable, reuseable counter spell on a beat stick before (Marchesa/Riku) and my group was never particularly happy with me lol. My only hesitancy with the lords in this deck is seriously just that they screw with Ezuri triggers, which sometimes stops you from hitting a very early Sage of Hours :/
