Objective:
To play as many elves as I can and win through Plan A of Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Plan B of beating my opponent down, or Plan C of making him lose tons of life through Shaman of the Pack.
In game 1, Collected Company , Lead the Stampede, Elvish Visionary, and Horizon Canopy make it so that I consistently draw into whatever I need. The combination of these 4 cards allows me to Elf-storm by quickly flooding the field to take the win as early as Turn 3. These cards also make me very durable against board wipes as I can quickly rebuild.
In game 2, if playing against fast decks, I swap out Lead the Stampede for Chord of Calling and whichever toolbox creature is needed for the match up. By doing this I maintain speed by having essentially 3 more copies of whatever I need to swing the game in my favor, be it a wincon or hatebear.
In conclusion, Lead is a hammer approach by being blunt and durable - being able to flood the field or build back up from board wipes and spot removal. With Chord it's more of a surgical knife approach by being very precise in making plays yet fragile if in the face of lots of removal. Being able to switch between the two strategies is incredibly strong but requires knowing Elves' best and worst matchups.
T3 Win Against Infect
Description: Didn't get a chance to screenshot the whole game but here is my board state right before I won with Shaman of the Pack. This is during my main step on Turn 3.
T4 Win Against Colorless Eldrazi
Description: The good ol' 40% of the Modern Meta Eldrazi deck. This is actually a pretty good match up for me because of my main deck Cavern of Souls that ignores his Chalice of the Void and when it comes to who can generate more mana, Elves wins.
This is during the opponent's end step on Turn 1. He began with the deck's best start by exiling Simian Spirit Guide to cast Chalice of the Void for 1.
Description: This is during the opponent's endstep on Turn 2. Seriously, T1 Chalice into T2 Thought-Knot Seer would destroy almost every deck in this meta - but not Elves!
Description: Skipping right to my draw step on Turn 4 which is when I won. He ghost quartered my Cavern because of Chalice but I topdecked a
Collected Company
which landed me an Ezuri, Renegade Leader and a Shaman of the Pack for game. He just couldn't deal.
Description: Proof :)
