My Little Green Friends 2

Modern Competitive Elves Tribal

Sideboard


A new build of my original "My Little Green Friends" deck! I believe it has been determined: is the winning splash color and so this is officially My Little Green Friends 2!

This deck works a slight bit differently than my original / build. No longer do I win games with a easily disrupted 3 card combo: Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies + Ezuri, Renegade Leader. No longer do I rely on Collected Company to luck me into game winning gas. No longer shall jund and jeski be totally unwinable matchups! I now win through the power of the biggest elf, the best elf, a big burly boy who in his heart really believes he is an elf... Craterhoof Behemoth

Tooth and Nail gives this deck a rather consistent ability to one shot its opponent as early as turn 3 as long as 9 mana can be generated. Using the card means that only 5 slots in the deck are really dedicated to the explosive one shot win rather than the > 10 cards involved in supporting the combo in the old build. This means that aggressive threats such as Nettle Sentinel and Bloodbraid Elf can be brought in forcing the opponent to deal with them or louse the game. This allows the deck to maintain a board state against removal thick decks such as jund and jeski. Bloodbraid Elf also has the added bonus of coming with a friend via cascade adding some resiliency to the decks board state. Long story short: this build doesn't have to combo off to win, we can be a linear aggro deck too.

Adding red also gives us Lightning Bolt and Magus of the Moon in the board, good cards for some of our worst matchups (like counters company).

Overall this build of elves is just more aggressive and as a result more competitive in today's modern meta than my previous build.
