selvala's overwhelming elfs budget edh/commander

Commander / EDH Budget GW (Selesnya)

Selphiron


I took this deck (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-commander-selvala-explorer-returned-57) and changed it according to my own playstile and my edh-group (we don't like infinite combos end never ending turns). So I took out and also Hurricane and Squall Line with it.
I try to win with Masumaro, First to Live or Realm Seekers + Pathbreaker Ibex or Overwhelming Stampede.

Other big creatures, Beastmaster Ascension and Triumph of the Hordes are also quite handy.

I exchanged a cuple of artifact/enchantment hate with creature field wipes.
I can cast Day of Judgment or Phyrexian Rebirth, and sacrifice Dauntless Escort or use Rootborn Defenses to win the game.

If my opponents have lots of big blockers and I don't have a field wipe, I can use Alluring Scent or Indrik Umbra to bash trough.

Problems with this deck: I can handle field wipes quite well with cards like Rootborn Defenses or Faith's Reward but I have a problem against creature-hate-over-time (for example with Goblin Assassin) and of course counter spells (against those I have Dragonlord Dromoka and Dosan the Falling Leaf
