Quote from: GoJuDragon on February 03, 2013, 07:56:19 PM{Gyre Sage} is way to situational, the bomb idea is plausible though, you're thinking Craterhoof huh?
Id love to see {gyre sage} in here and maybe a bomb like {craterhoof behemoth}
Quote from: ModernMaster on February 03, 2013, 08:03:41 PMEmrakul and {Summoning Trap} is in the sideboard, in case I play heavy control, this deck just gets shut down by removal though, I can't figure out what to take out for {Vines of Vastwood}, need to drop 2 more cards.
This is gojus ipad account. I think craterhoof would be good... Or maybe an eldrazi lord
Quote from: ModernMaster on February 03, 2013, 08:22:37 PMI was thinking maybe 2 as well, but the it's not really worth putting in don't you think?
I'd take out 1 wrens run pack master for sure. Idk what else... Maybe only run 2 vines..?
Quote from: whitedrake on February 05, 2013, 08:08:20 PMI can get infinite mana on turn 4 if that's any consolation, lol
Honestly it seems too slow to me... Elves can be much quicke...;) even on modern...;) 4th-5th turn emrakul with no problem..;)
Quote from: whitedrake on February 06, 2013, 08:23:09 AMThat's not bad actually, but the Staff doesn't give infinite pump as well. With Umbral you tap for InfiniteX, then use the excess to make your other dudes infinite/infinites as well, then they usually have Trample thanks to {Bramblewood Paragon}, gg.
Oi did not notice those {Umbral Mantle} there...:D but would not be better {Staff of Domination}???

Quote from: whitedrake on February 06, 2013, 05:45:24 PMIt is really good actually, lol. If end up being able to keep this deck I may use it in the future, it's a brutal cardQuote from: InfinitiveDivinity on February 06, 2013, 02:51:54 PMQuote from: whitedrake on February 06, 2013, 08:23:09 AMThat's not bad actually, but the Staff doesn't give infinite pump as well.

True but with staff u can draw half a deck draw {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}, cast it put bambilion elves on table and gg...;) and {Ezuri, Renegade Leader} gives u the trample...;)
But ur idea works the same good way... Only I simply like the staff...:D
Quote from: whitedrake on February 07, 2013, 02:05:38 AMDon't get me started on Glimpse, I want that card for this deck soooo bad! Although other decks would abuse it a little more I think.
I am glad to give u another one possible win condition option...;)
I love elves...:D Play them on modern, Legacy and now if I will be able to assemble standard ones then even on standard...:D
Of course there are always cards like {Regal Force} that u could play as well...:D 1 piece in the deck could help u with drawing... I hate DCI for banning {Glimpse of Nature} in modern... Sigh...
Quote from: whitedrake on February 07, 2013, 07:55:36 AMExactly, there's a very good reason for it, I just wish it wasn't so 😞
Hehe where jund woul be if elves could use glimpse...:D I would be able to kill in 3rd round consiszently no matter of removal...:D
Quote from: whitedrake on February 12, 2013, 05:05:41 AMI have him in my EDH, I didn't think about how he 1-hit KO's Emmy though!
Oh I love that guy as well..;) he is real libe saver...;) Bcs I did not play when FS was out I discovered him bcs of DotP 2013 and I fall in love with that tiny skillful elf...;) he is in many of my sideboards...:D
Quote from: Leevai420 on February 20, 2013, 02:57:41 PMThat's the idea with {Umbral Mantle}, but the Mantle allows a free pump essentially because it equips for 0, and it requires less Elves to go Infinite. Also {Green Sun's Zenith} is banned in Modern.
U can go infinite with {staff of domination} archdruid and any other 4 elves. You tap the archdruid for 5 then abuse the tap ad untap a creature ability on staff to get infinite mana ten life and finally draws.
Also recommend green suns zenith.
Quote from: Wizardmook on February 20, 2013, 05:33:43 PMIn order to pull it off you need:
Hi how do you get infinite mana, don't really understand {Umbral Mantle} at all. 😭
Quote from: Wizardmook on February 21, 2013, 04:14:52 AMNo problem dude!
All makes sense now, very nasty!! Thanks for the explanation 😀

Quote from: MisterJH on February 28, 2013, 10:19:56 PMYou cant {Path to Exile} a {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} but you can {Oblivion Ring} it

Quote from: abstractApathist on April 18, 2013, 08:26:35 PMHow is it too slow? It can win on turn 3
While the infinite mana combo seems nice, it's really too slow. Run some {Adaptive Automaton} for boost as well as (if you aren't already) some of {Llanowar Elves} and {Arbor Elf} for mana boost. After that, your {Imperious Perfect}, {Joraga Warcaller}, and {Bramblewood Paragon} should boost you. Keep the {Elvish Archdruid}.

Quote from: abstractApathist on April 18, 2013, 09:56:34 PMWhat would Surgy Etract hit though? And not many sideboards are running Surg because there are better graveyard hate decks. It is not always hitting what you want a lot of the time. When it does, the player could easily change the zone of the card. It is more of a downfall then it is advantage that it is not worth a slot in the 75 slots. A card can disrupt it, doesn't mean it will.Quote from: InfinitiveDivinity on April 18, 2013, 09:18:35 PMQuote from: abstractApathist on April 18, 2013, 08:26:35 PMHow is it too slow?

A {Surgical Extraction} and the mana combo's done. I was saying the combo was too slow and suggesting fillers. If I'm utterly wrong, please show me how.
Quote from: DeathlyFoiend on April 18, 2013, 10:09:38 PMtrue, I'm just saying if your mantle gets hit by {Hide // Seek} or {Wear // Tear} or {Crush} or {Krosan Grip} etc. the mana combo's done. I'd put some more mana ramp in in its placeQuote from: abstractApathist on April 18, 2013, 09:56:34 PMWhat would Surgy Etract hit though?

Quote from: abstractApathist on April 19, 2013, 10:52:21 PMThe combo isn't even close to necessary for winning, this deck is extremely aggressive.Quote from: DeathlyFoiend on April 18, 2013, 10:09:38 PMtrue, I'm just saying if your mantle gets hit by {Hide // Seek} or {Wear // Tear} or {Crush} or {Krosan Grip} etc. the mana combo's done.
