Post by: Joshnoodles on August 07, 2013, 11:37:00 PM

Elf Surge

60 cards, 0 sideboard


2 {Cavern of Souls}
6 {Forest}
2 {Sacred Foundry}
2 {Gavony Township}
4 {Rootbound Crag}
4 {Stomping Ground}
3 {Temple Garden}

23 lands


4 {Elvish Visionary}
4 {Elvish Mystic}
3 {Zhur-Taa Druid}
2 {Gyre Sage}
3 {Burning-Tree Emissary}
4 {Avacyn's Pilgrim}
1 {Craterhoof Behemoth}
4 {Elvish Archdruid}
2 {Soul of the Harvest}
4 {Arbor Elf}
2 {Ogre Battledriver}

33 creatures


1 {Fervor}
2 {Garruk, Caller of Beasts}
1 {Primal Surge}

4 other spells


Sideboard

Notes:
Though this seems like an odd unreliable deck, it is actually quite the contrary. The deck basically wants to do 2 things. Either ramp into a surge/craterhoof or it wants to use a soul of harvest in combo with ogre/fervor to just go off by drawing alot and putting tons of creatures on the board.

Just saw this on Rougedeckbuilder and was going to post it too. It's hilariously effective. Being able to just have buffed up elfs with archdruids/gavonys wins games alone, then you can always do the whole "hoof there it is" plan, then there's the combo.

For anyone that loves consistant/effective combos this is the deck to play. Already going to be playing it at fnm, if it does well then ill also play it gameday

I used to run a version of this in Extended, before the format was canned.
It was so much fun.

You wouldn't really want to flash the elves you want them for mana not to block and die.

I would add at least one more {craterhoof behemoth} to try and make sure that you grab it.  It wins games, so you want more.

You bet it wins games lol I had you then you fog and crater hoof me!!! Damn you!!!
