Slowly working towards getting this built. Have the creature base and most of the under $100 things. Only 2 Cradles and some duals to go!

Is the trop just for  {Swan Song}? May not be worth it for that.

Maybe  {Krosan Grip} Or  {Nature's Claim} In the board instead.

True, I could probably free up both slots and instead run another {Reclation Sage} and a {Thorn of Amethyst}.

I dislike the blue splash myself.

I also begrudgingly cut the regal force, still oscillating between a second cratterhoof, ruric thar, progenitus, and worldspine wurm.

I used to run a second reclamation sage but was talking out of it. You already have 9 main (natural orders and GSZ, which don't lose your elf if countered) and Wirewood protects and bounces for reuse. I the matchups you want him, abrupt decay is usually better anyway.

I also run one bayou and one overgrown tomb to excellent effect. We talked about this in our latest Legacy podcast, but especially in elves, that first bayou does a lot of work, but the second isn't necessary and if you are on a budget there are better places to put your money.

Really liking the Tomb for my current budget until I can acquire another {Bayou}. Also have yet to snag my other Cradles, so considering {Crop Rotation} as a 2-of for a 2/2 split with Cradle, ideas? Dropped my 2nd Birchlore in favor of a 10th fetch. Was recently suggested {Confusion in the Ranks} in my sideboard to battle Sneak and Show, seems dirty, any thoughts? Also maybe thinking of doing a 2/2 with Verdant and Foothills, should I be there? I know Surgical can sometimes be a thing.

Ive got a similar list. I only have 2 cradles so im using a 2/2 split between cradle and crop rotation and it works fine. Can also be used to snag a bayou in a pinch in the unlikely event you cant find a fetch land. Out of curiosity what made you drop the regal force? Im considering dropping it from my list for a second craterhoof but i just cant bring myself to do it. Whenever i get regal force out i generally win the next turn. I suppose the difference would be winning that turn if it was a craterhoof.

After some digital play testing I found that the times you have Craterhoof in hand, it's a lot easier to just have a 2nd in the library. Fetching him instead of having to hard cast it and making the math work is a lot more simple. Probably not necessary I guess, I'm just not too sure on how I feel about the Regal.

I think  {Regal Force} Isn't played much anymore. I've seen hoof main and progenitus in the board or main. Those are the two big win cons.

Decided to slide my 4th {Natural Order} to the side and bump the Birchlores back to 2. That card is pretty sick.

I approve of your list, though that's easy for me to say since it has grown to approximate the stock list.

I wax and wane on progenitus vs ruric thar or worldspine wurm in the side. Up to you.

I ran 3 cradles, 2 crop rotations for a long time and found it great. I think my current 4 cradles is an improvement, but fetching up cradle #2 after dropping and taping #1 is sweet.

This is my current list minus a {Bayou}, because, minus my personal input, I honestly don't think that it is important. I'm running an {Overgrown Tomb} as my second. The rest of the list is in hand and double sleeved 😎.
