2 {Mutavault}
1 {Elspeth, Sun's Champion}
2 {Azorius Keyrune}
3 {Jace, Architect of Thought}(ultimate)

I see very little win here...  And what's here is very sketchy win...

This is a near exact copy of a first placing deck. Idk how with only one elspeth but it works.

Basically you just durdle and the opponent scoops rd 1 and you force rd 2 to time to win the match.

I recommend adding one {Warden of Evos Isle}. This is because the deck is called bird, but has none. Plus, if you add {Warden of Evos Isle}, its not just a bird...its a BIRD WIZARD!

I watched the live coverage of the finals this deck was in. It faced off against b/w control. It was an awesome game to watch if your a fan of control plays. Whole game was very fun to watch.

1 {Elixer of immortality}

In my version i have 1 ætherling, 1 hundred-handed one, and 1 archangel of thune. I also run 2 elspeth in it.


It works great so consider those

Needs more {Codex Shredder}.

It's like a failtastic version of drownyard.

I think he meant to bring your win con back...

That's what elixir is for

I've seen a small number of folks run it since it pretty much makes scry not work for one mana.

I see the appeal, but not a fan personally.

If you're talking about elixer, that's not the reason it's in here for. It's for making the game long, shuffling everything back into your library, and either making your opponent conceid, or make them draw all their cards while your library keeps refilling.

1 hundred-handed one

Glad to know I'm not the only one

{Codex Shredder} does a million things more than just mill your opponent. It speeds up the mirror, shuts down Scrylands and Thassa, in the {Chandra's Phoenix} matchups you can just mill yourself and if you hit something you like, crack your Shredder. It's Elixir recursion and the turn after you -3 Elspeth to get rid of all those fatties and she dies to their 2/2, you just regrow your Elspeth and jam it. Suddenly you're stabilized and in full control of the game.

Just having access to that card has won me entire matches. So don't hate.
