clearly someone inst too smart

seriously i know for a fact you cant have out that much by turn 3, turn 5-6 is when these decks go off because your either ramping and summoning, or your attacking
even if you got the prefect hand i could see quit a bit of stuff, but no one is going to play straight white

a landstill deck would walk all over this deck, counters and removal really fuck a deck like this, even if you managed to get alot of elves out, if i got a moat out, then your pretty much done..
or i counter a priest of titania, then the deck is stalled for atleast 1-2 turns alowing me to drop a mishras factory and a standstill, you break my standstill, i draw counters and removal

please dont talk out your ass again..

I never said Elfs is a good deck. To be honest its absolutly terrible against anything you cant goldfish against (aka 0-1 mana counters and 1 mana removal). On the other hand it IS capable of going off turn 2-3 a lot, when it actually does get a good hand and you dont have the force...

And obivously you CAN have that much out. Turn 1 Llanowar, Turn 2 Heritage Druid, Nettle, Nettle, GGG, Glimpse, Visionary, Draw 2, GGG, Pact for Nettle, Nettle, Draw a card, 5 mana, any number of random elfes, when youve got a lot of mana, Chord or Pact for Regal Force, win the game...

I KNOW this isnt happening regularly and i KNOW the elf deck isnt good, but that wasnt the point of this thread anyways.

Also any good list is maindecking atleast 1 Viridian Zealot or Harmonic Sliver, so Moat really isnt going to cut it and neither is wrath of god (against both the version finishing with Crossroads and a Grapeshot Version)...

even a fire sprout or pyroclasm is enough to destroy everything

yes that deck can be quick, i can see it winning the first game possibly, but post sideboard its not going to do so well

i played a deck simular to this with my dreadstill deck, but he was using gaea's cradles and mirror entity and what not, i dropped him first game, game 2 he beat me, and game 3 i got counter top combo and he was done for.

Don't need the extra red mana, since the Harbingers give me the one I need. And again, too cheap to buy Cradles just for a casual deck.

Clearly elves aren't the best deck. As Pascal said, that's not the point of this thread. I said my elf deck was a casual deck, not meant to take to Legacy tourneys. In case you didn't notice, I didn't post a sideboard since I don't have one for it. If I did have a sideboard, I'd probably be using Grips and Gaea's Heralds. Possibly find something to stop damage sweepers. Unfortunately, the best ones are in white, which would be too hard to splash for in my build.

natural order elves is fun.

that could be something to consider if you want to break away from straight elves and throw maybe a prog or emerkrul into the mix...

add a monument or 2
