Elves sideboard cards
Modern Deck Help forum

So, I built Collected Company combo elves and I don't know any good cards to put into the sideboard of the deck. I run Grafdigger's Cage, Relic of Progenitus, Asceticism, Gaea's Herald, and Nissa Revane as one ofs, but don't know anything else. Thoughts?
The combo I am referring to for any reference is In this deck: Elves of Ashenvale... Unite!! Black will be added when origins comes out.
Thanks guys and happy deckbuilding!

Oh, and another Reclamation Sage for Grafdigger's Cage and Creeping Corrosion for Affinity and stuff, if I recall correctly. Don't run Grafdigger's Cage because that shuts down Collected Company. That's what he lost to when he played Jund.

NoPantsParade: Oh shit, I forgot that Grafdigger's Cage shuts down my own deck, that would've been horrible!
I'll repost the combo in the OP, I forgot about that part :P.

It's often repeated but true that Sideboards really depend on the metagame you plan on taking your deck into, Creeping Corrosion is good against affinity, and Thrun, the Last Troll works well against Abzan. The key thing is though as long as you stay mono-green your going to have to be creative against combo decks like Twin, Infect, and Tron. Beast Within is a must have in sideboard or mainboard against combo decks, and Torpor Orb counters twin. Some kind of land hate is usually worthwhile be it Tectonic Edge or Ghost Quarter as decks like Tron, and Scapeshift can be harder to deal with otherwise. In general, another starting place for sideboards is to copy other decks, in this case Abzan and Infect both typically run green as well.

Beast Within, Thrun, the Last Troll, and Thragtusk worked well for my friend at GP Charlotte. He went 7-2 there with Collected Company Elves and Craterhoof Behemoth, but I'm not quite sure what the combo is you're talking about.
