A guy at one of the game stores I play at was running something pretty similar to this. It chewed on the meta for a week or 2 til people smartened up.

That's pretty cool 8vomit. It's definitely a pretty easy deck to deal with unless you've got a versatile sideboard. That's the one thing I'm always trying to change about it.
I'd be interested to see what that guy has in his list. I fear I've overlooked some of the newer cards.

Im not even sure if hes still running it, I havent been out to that store in weeks, but ill ask for a list next time i get out there

That'd be awesome. I haven't really seen any Staff+Intruder alarm combo fusions except for ones on this site that are based off mine. It'd be really interesting to see someone else's take on it, if it is completely unique.
I'm not exactly sure if this deck is a one-of-a-kind for modern or not. I'd like to hope so, considering Modern is a newer format. That's part of why I wanna know the list too haha.

This deck is awesome!! It has all I could ever want! Nice job. +1 for me!

Absolutely, diateone. You should read the descriptions of how the early wins work, most of them involve me enchanting an elf I threw out on turn 1 or 2, sometimes 3.
And thanks a ton, beleren272! Glad you like it. :)

Wait. I didn't even see this comment, let alone the fact it was featured
what kind of sorcery is this

WIzards trickery and tomfoolery is what it is.

This deck is wicked. Comes from so many angles, I thought it was just a combo deck until I realised it was an elf ramp deck and an infinite combo staff of domination deck too. Kudos!

Thanks a bunch, PayOneLife. That's what I like about it too. I don't think I've even figured out all the different ways it could net you a win before/on turn 4. That plus the fact that it's a bit of a 'glass cannon' in terms of combo, but it operates without many of the key pieces.
And then there's the sideboard.. I need to go over everything past BotG 'cause I stopped paying attention for a bit. I'd like to think it's still pretty versatile, though.

deck really nice ... why not add this card ??? http://magiccards.info/scans/en/eve/66.jpg.... add to the combo of mana more ??
January 23, 2015 8:29 a.m.
Thanks for the suggestion, Wyxon. I don't think that particular card would be fast enough for my early-combos, though. I want to drop my mana-engines in on turn 1 usually (Arbor Elf, Utopia Sprawl, Llanowar Elf etc)
It could work if the deck was playing a bit slower I think.
also, Caligula YOU DIRTY SHIT-HEAD AND YOUR GODDAMN DECK FEATURES. I'm sorry if you've been on League, I've been busy lately. <33

Lmao, I haven't played league since we last played.
Perhaps we should get a couple games in later?
January 24, 2015 3:13 p.m.
Sounds good. I'm not 100% sure if I'll be on, so I'll msg you here when I know.
I've got some D&D planned for tonite
January 24, 2015 3:15 p.m.
Hey Guardians, thanks a ton for the suggestion. I would definitely run Priest of Titania instead of Elvish Archdruid, but alas, the Priest is not legal in modern. She has been printed in Commander sets, and Urza's Saga which is a very old set. Commander prints aren't included in the Modern pool.

I don't know if Joraga Treespeaker would help. It does, however your other Elvish Mystic type stuff add more mana. Also Maybe Kiora's Follower to untap Staff of Domination for free.
February 3, 2015 7:39 p.m.
To be 100% honest, I've pretty much got the mainboard exactly where I want it right now. It wins between turn 3-5 at least 80% of the time if left uninterrupted, and if you mulligan properly. The only cards I'd consider adding are things that would speed up my early game in some way. Joraga Treespeaker would require me to spend a lot of mana on leveling it up before I can get any combo potential out of it. It's just a bit too slow for the way this deck runs.
I tested with Kiora's Follower before, but I also found it slowed me down a bit. The only thing I can ever really use her for is to untap Staff of Domination for free like you said, but that only costs 1 mana to do anyways. She's good for untapping a Utopia Sprawl'd forest too, but my Arbor Elf fills that slot nicely as it is.
An example of a card I'd add would be Glimpse of Nature, since it would allow me to draw into my combo almost guaranteed. It's banned in modern, unfortunately. It would have to be a card with a massive impact to make it into my mainboard.

Awesome! Glad you like it.
I've never taken it to any FNMS or MTGO or anything, so if you do build it, you gotta let me know how it does.
