Can anyone help me make a Modern Elf deck? I'm mainly concerned with Melira Finks

Spencer Addington

Concerned how? Like, you think it's a bad matchup? Also, there's are countless top 8 elves lists that can help can be used as references for the deck. One thing I can add since my friend runs elves is mainboard a {spellskite}. It is incredible against a lot of decks and being able to cords for it game one is very handy. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to abrupt decay ezuri only to have it redirected to spellskite..

I'm just worried that since the deck combos out quickly, I'll lose too fast. I have an initial draft which I'll post in the modern section.

Elves are incredibly fast. There isn't much you can do if they have combo in hand and they go off t3, but elves have been known to kill t3 and have a great sideboard games 2-3.

Main deck thragtusk is going pretty deep. Possibly because jund was a lot bigger at GP Charlotte than it is now.

I think Thragtusk should be sideboard and "craterhoof behemoth" should be mainboard. Buuuut that's my personal opinion. Thragtusk at serve a purpose.

Craterhoof can probably be completely omitted. You can just kill with Ezuri.
