This is my Selvala, Explorer Returned EDH deck that I created to be competitive as possible. It is designed for multiplayer games of at least four. The deck operates on an elf powered mana ramp in the place of a normal 30-35 land count in order to maximize Selvalas activated ability. This allows us to chain extremely hard in multiplayer games and minimizes whiffs in 1v1 duels.

This deck is not a group hug deck. This plays to our advantage as players will neglect to eliminate you in exchange for card draw. THIS IS A GRAVE MISTAKE, and they will realize it by game two. When played correctly the deck is mean, fast, and ends the game abruptly. Despite this fact the deck is unique with an interesting mechanic that makes it "more fun" than tier 1 commanders, despite operating the same way. It is a fun deck your opponents will talk about and want to play with again.

How To Win

First and foremost, I encourage mulling and digging for a combination of land and mana dorks that can produce 1GW for Selvala. As with any deck, it fails when mana screwed. We need to be extra careful with this deck because our land count is INTENTIONALLY low.

A. The most consistent and fastest win condition is tutoring out Archangel of Thune and Spike Feeder in order to combo into a board of infinite/infinite creatures and infinite life.

B. Overrun. Fill the board with everything and anything- and use Craterhoof Behemoth/Mirror Entity to push as hard as possible. We can get a huge board with Avenger of Zendikar.

C. Win with life. Felidar Sovereign.

D. Generate infinite mana and dump it into Squall Line or Hurricane!! This is less dangerous for us, as we spend alot of the game gaining life and can survive what would kill the whole table.

E.Most Selvala player's main wincon is a combination of Mana Reflection, Umbral Mantle, and Selvala to MILL all players to death. This is extremely difficult and rare, and although possible I don't really aim for it.
