Modern elves and board wipes

Modern forum

Just curious about all of your thoughts on the strength of collected elves and how to improve against its major weakness of pyroclasm and friends. I've been trying out dromokas command in the side for this and other utility but I don't see any pros (those placing in opens etc.) running any sort of fog effect. What do you think is the best way to work around these board wipes as they seem to be the decks biggest weakness imo.

Don't play into it unless you can beat it. You have Ezuri to beat Wraths and Anger and Archdruid to beat Pyroclasm.

Many play Forge-Tender and Mirror Entity.

Beating Wraths is more about how you play, not what you play.

I'll planning on putting in a Dauntless Escort in a toolbox slot in main board or sideboard against wrath effects when I need to chord it out.

The only wraths you really need to watch out for are Damnation and Consume the Meek. But you have ways of getting around them.
