Take out 1 Ezuri and one Magistrate and add 2x Joraga Warcaller. Good deck though. +1. Check out my similiar elf deck here.

Nice deck! It's straight forward to the win! This would be a good deck for starters!

Anywho, I's gots me some suggestions, but unfortunately, I'm at school at the moment. I'll definitely give you my input though when I'm back home. ;)

Imperious Perfect is the strongest Elf lord in an aggro deck.

Kjartan, what would you take out for Imperious Perfect and why?

Hey there again! I'm back! Sorry it took awhile by the way, sorry!

Alright, first off, very nice elf deck. Now, I would recommend adding in some instant and sorceries, because, well, they're important. Like, really important.

Alright, now, before making my suggestions, there is something you need to know beforehand. That being: I do not recommend running all the cards I am going to suggest (unless of course you prefer to do so). I just like giving people a wide berth of options to choose from. Also, any of my suggestions could also be run in the sideboard, seeing as how you do not have one yet. ;)

I think the addition of instants and sorceries will really do this deck some good.

I hope you will consider some of my suggestions, and good luck!

I wouls take out all the Nissa's and, her chosens and the oracle's for more Joraga Warcaller and Imperious Perfect and alike, because they all support the aggro based strategy a lot more.

You would be surprised, Nissa is actually great for this deck. If you use her +1 to get a chosen, you ramp up your # of elves and your devotion. This works great for things like Elvish Archdruid, which also boosts the creatures making a 3/4 chosen. It also enables me to get a lot of mana the following turn if I have either Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx or the Archdruid. If I have both, even more the fun! It also helps to slim down my deck a little bit increasing my draws. Thank you anyway, Kjartan

I would take out the channelers they aren't very good compared to your other creature cards. Instead you might want to put in some Ezuri's Archers to deal with flying

cmacfaddin says... #10

sorry not the card i meant to put - this one is Jagged-Scar Archers

Thanks, cmacfaddin.

No problem - ever thought about adding some Wirewood Lodges

Magnachron says... #13

cmacfaddin, I did, but they didn't seem aggro enough. I would rather have the forest.

ginsnet, what do you mean, test?

OminousRex says... #16

Oops, sorry I meant I was going to test the deck. I had to make a few substitutions since I didn't have any Oracle of Mul Daya or Nissa Revane. This deck rocks! I used Nissa Worldwaker and some reclamation sages to fill in the gaps which came in handy quite a few times to remove pesky artifacts. I'm definitely going to get some Oracles when I can afford them. PRICEY!

Collected Company is amazing in elf decks. Also, Reclamation Sage can get you out of tight spots.

May 23, 2015 3:44 a.m. Edited.

Kjartan says... #18

ginsnet - Nissa Revane and Oracle of Mul Daya aren't cards I can suggets you in investing into. They both have very narrow uses, and doesn't really belong in modern elf decks. Unless you use Nissa as burn hate, in which case the sideboard may be the superior place for her.

I am almost prone to say that Reclamation Sage is better then the both of them. Even though I personally would also only put it in the sideboard.

In a whole Collected Company is where it's at. And Imperious Perfect is definately not a bad card to add either.

ginsnetHey thanks, I worked pretty hard putting this deck together, so its nice to get other people to tell you its good every once in a while. I didn't have the money to spend on cards at first too, but sold other cards to make the money happen.

Magnachron says... #20

For everyone who has requested it, I have put Reclamation Sage in my sideboard for pesky artifacts and single enchantments I want to get rid of.

Elvish Promenade? I run it in my elf deck and it is one of my favorites

cmacfaddin, What would you take out?

------ says... #23

If you can afford them, Cavern of Souls or Mutavault always perform great in tribal decks. Also get something like Door of Destinies or Adaptive Automaton or Coat of Arms to boost the tribal. And since you're in mono-green, Staff of the Wild Magus would be magnificient.Collected Company is always a killer.

Else, good deck, fun to play. ;)

Magnachron says... #24

------,I would have to say no to Mutavault...Cavern of Souls is under consideration. I see Door of Destiny as too slow, considering I am winning T5, T6. Adaptive Automaton is what I see as a worse version of Archdruid or Champion. I also, don't care much about gaining life, unless I run out of Nissa's Chosen to look for. Coat of Arms seems cool, I am looking into it. I have seen Collected Company mentioned before, I just don't like the card.

My elf deck is one of my favorites by far. If you want to play competitively, you should focus your deck around a t4 win. Then throw in draw cards in case if you can't achieve the t4 win or if your opponent has a bunch of removal. I'd recommend Harmonize, Elvish Visionary, Overrun, and Coat of Arms. One more thing: Nissa is one of the most bad*** planeswalkers out there, but her -7 is near impossible to achieve and you will only be able to use her +1s just a few times before she dies. She's just too weak. I did get to use her -7 once. I pretty much dropped about 25 elves onto the field. Then next turn my opponent played Supreme Verdict. Haha oops. Well I hope this helps. If you need some more draw cards etc. Just ask. Good luck!
