Green/Red Elves
Green/Red Elves
Want a deck with speed? Want a deck that’s aggressive? Want a deck that can beat Jund? Well then this deck might be for you! This vicious version of an elf deck is quite fast. It features several of the power cards in standard and uses several planeswalkers. Although this deck is a little costly all in all its an amazing deck. I’ve seen this deck beat Jund plenty of times and that seems like what everyone is playing. I think this deck would be worth your time and money to play and experiment with.
The Breakdown
The Powerhouse
Bloodbraid Elf – This card is just mean a 3/2 with cascade and haste. Is there anything it can’t do!
Nissa’s Chosen – It’s like an Elvish warrior that never dies!
The Mana Producers
Elvish Archdruid – It boost your elves and taps for massive amounts of mana!
Druid of the Anima - This card taps for mana of both colors you need.
Llanowar Elves – The classic mana producer.
Card Draw
Elvish Visionary – This card is great to help speed up the deck.
Planeswalkers
Nissa Revane – Nissa is the best bet for any elf deck now. Her abilities are specifically tuned for them.
Garruk Wildspeaker – Perfect for this deck not only is he a walking overrun, he helps speed up your mana.
Sarkhan Vol – Another great choice he can haste your creatures to help the aggro.
Chandra Nalaar – Chandra is great for removal she can burn your opponent or their creatures.
The Deck Test
Elves -Vs-Vamps
The elves vs vampires games we played were pretty close. We played three game sand I won two out of the three. The speed of this deck was jsut fast enough to get through before he could establish the game winning board position he needed. First game i dominated by fourth turn he was under ten so I felt good about that. Second game he won. I was mana screwed and jsut wasn’t seeng the cards i would have liked. Thrid game was pretty well a repeat of the first no chance for the vamps really.
1-0
Elves -Vs- Naya lightsaber
Once again these where close games and I really enjoyed them. I won again but the games were close. Thje first game there was no competition I won because he was mana screwed quick game and we moved to the next. Second game I lost because well he had the speed on his side and I wasn’t able to quite keep up seemed like I was a step behind the whole game. I just didn’t see what I needed. third game we both played well but i got out the archdruid second turn and was producing massive mana after words and just kept cranking from there.
2-0
Elves -Vs- Spreading Seas
Well finally a deck a blew way. With most the mana in this deck being green and it having very stable mana base, there was no chance for the seas deck to lock me down. I destroyed them both games. they tried to lock down a few lands but as soon as i got out the archdruid each game it was over. That’s all there as to it.
