The Elven Empire precon is actually a really good deck straight out of the box but there are some upgrades you can make to take it up to the next level and it's those upgrades that we're looking at today!

Who doesn't like tribalkai face

[@tribalkai]

No one in their right mind. I cause sex riots everywhere I go.

[@tribalkai]

I look a bit more rough and a little less sophisticated than him I’m afraid! I did build the deck with the idea in mind that I could win lots of different ways. So that means I’m stretching myself thin with some strategies. Having said that, I have dealt so nice chunks of damage with Lathril’s activated ability.

[@southern1987]

I remember your first face reveal awhile back

[@Velinastus]

You really are handsome! Always enjoy your videos but now I get eye candy.. Id definitely like to see more.. Also matching your hat to your eyes I see you.. Ocean blue just something to drown in.. I would love more videos like this.. Playing nonstop can be draining, I'd rather you mix it up than get burnt out and stop making videos.. Just make sure you include your face in more videos..

[@zach3553]

Another great beard added to the ranks of MTG content creators!

[@tribalkai]

I trim it with clippers once a month because it gets thick and uncomfortable. I’d look like a lumberjack by now if I let it have it’s own way!

[@SamuelKacerik]

Finally! The face! Edit and fun fact: I have literally just got home and I opened the precon. This is what I call timing.

[@tribalkai]

Awesome! I actually bought it just for the Commander so I didn’t look at the list. It’s actually a really good precon with a lot of the elf staples already included. Just got mine today too :)

[@txag007]

Great upgrades! I think Growing Rites of Itlimoc might be useful for mana generation with all of those elves running around. I enjoy deck tech videos. More in the future would be great.

[@dubiousdoobie757]

Great video, thank you! I've recently started playing with the commander format, so these videos are really helpful and informative.

[@tribalkai]

Glad they help you out!

[@Grenvilles]

Great stuff man, would love to see more deck techs.

[@BalfazaarSCO]

THAT is not the face I was expecting 😂 another great video! Just picked up the precon and a few upgrades with it too. On mostly the sane page too, so I'm pretty happy with myself that I'm on the right track 😉

[@LTJ]

Thanks mate. I thought I was the only player in world who saw Lathril and thought..."ooh, tap 10 elves and kill everyone!" I ran Elfball back in Type2 days but have found it boring since then, so to be able to build a non-combat Elf deck was great! If I kill ANYONE by combat damage I've failed as far as I'm concerned 😁 The theory is: Bunch of Elves Tap Latheril 10 Damage to all opp Untap Lathril (multiple ways to do it) Tap 10 more Elves 10 more life lost Wounded Reflection Throne of the God-Pharaoh So, even if I untap Latheril once, that's 40 life gone for all my oppos...😁 I've seen a few cards that I didn't know about so thanks for that!

[@tribalkai]

I like getting into the red zone but having other ways of winning in a tight spot. It’s great that the deck can be made in so many different ways depending on your play style.

[@LTJ]

@@tribalkai normally, I'd totally agree re different wincons (my Tuvasa deck for example has 9 different wincons in it (although most of them admittedly have the same result...the pod scooping) but in this instance I literally wanted to win through Lathril's ability. You can of course go elfball as you've said , but you could also go Voltron to generate tokens, THEN activate her second ability...but I already have Sigarda as my Voltron commander and I didn't want to be unfaithful 😆 Optimal? No, more fun? Hope so!

[@billykillz5872]

Elfball was my first competitive deck in t2 and extended days!! I’ve been wanting to try isochron scepter and vitalize to abuse the ability

[@LTJ]

@@billykillz5872 I've got vitalize in the deck already, but isochron is a great shout!

[@LTJ]

OK, I've watched the video twice now, and as a deck tech its outstanding. Would certainly love to see more of this type of video.

[@ckeiji]

I hope you do more of these deck upgrade videos, these are sweet! Definitely looking forward to picking up this Golgari Elf precon :)

[@leafletleaflet]

This is the most comprehensive video on the topic I've seen so far and definitely the most helpful- appreciate all the work that must have gone into it

[@folbrekr]

I find this extremely helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to do this!

[@tribalkai]

A lot of time it took too so I’m glad you found it helpful :)

[@willleonard7439]

Good insight on some options for the precon. Will probably grab it on MTGO since I'm still building a collection there. Glad to have a jumping off point. Thanks for the video.

[@Lollix87]

Nice vid, man! Always looking into deck building videos!

[@lancer4224130]

I like realmwalker in the deck to speed through the top of the deck.

[@tribalkai]

Absolutely! I built the deck whilst spoilers were still coming out and I saw this card and thought "that needs to go in the elf deck". Completely forgot to add it. Good shout!

[@Lollix87]

That and Bolas' Citadel. If the number of elves in the deck is consistent you have an absurd way to cast directly from the top of the library

[@lancer4224130]

@@Lollix87 I totally forgot about that! You're absolutely right!

[@tribalkai]

I actually lowered the number of creatures in my deck but if you wanted to go for a really heavy elf build then those two cards are absolute musts.

[@lancer4224130]

Glimpse of Nature is great at middle and end game to recoup.

[@InsideofApple]

Love the new look for this video! Awesome transitions & solid picks to upgrade this Elf deck. Just picked up Elven Empire, be looking to throw a few of these upgrades into the deck myself. Great work!

[@tribalkai]

Thank you for the kind words mate!

[@josephpyne3999]

Exactly what I was looking for, a fully (pretty much) upgraded precon list. Cheers!

[@diogoemanuelpachecoteixeir5775]

Nice video! Keep up the great work and show us the good stuff! Congratulations! Please give us more! Thank you... 😉

[@edh_alters7116]

Love this video bro. It's like you listen to the comments and make videos accordingly HA! This was fantastic. I pretty much built my version of the deck the exact same way but without the aristocrats line as I don't feel like it's necessary and I'd rather just have some more elves/tutors/protection. Thanks for the ideas.

[@hectormorales4090]

Well T-Kai, first love to see your face (1st time for me - and I've been a sub for a bit now). Second, your take on Lathril is really good (I just bought the pre-con!). I like this type of video mate, hope to see more. Keep up the great work mate!

[@tribalkai]

Hope you enjoy the gameplay that releases in a few hours!

[@Paul24mny]

Liked, subscribed and commenting to help your KZbin stats. Nice video! Looking forward to the gameplay vid when it comes out.

[@tribalkai]

Thank you friend! It’ll be out 12:30 PM U.K. time tomorrow.

[@shaden489]

you should consider wirewood symboite as an untapper not only does it untap key elves but it can let you return some to your hand as not only a way of protecting them but to reuse some solid etb effects like rec sage wood elves and the like also last i checked its dirt cheap

[@tribalkai]

Yeah I considered that one but I had too make cuts somewhere. There’s too many great cards for elves!

[@lancer4224130]

Holy shit a face reveal. You're like all of us. Normal fucking person. :P (just ribbing you) Great Video!

[@tribalkai]

The robot/android has a face!

[@OscarRobalino]

Great job

[@corywhitaker6653]

Keep up the grind and good work Kai. You really do have a chance to get some recognition for your analysis and work in the eedi-H community.

[@tribalkai]

Thank you brother. Hopefully the grind will pay off one day :)

[@corywhitaker6653]

I'm sorry I haven't been on the discord/games for a while (Atlus Dragoon). My free time during the pandemic has been with my kids playing the Switch. I'm able to scratch my MTG itch a little bit because my LGS was just legally allowed to host casual games again with proper precautions and limited participation.

[@tribalkai]

Don’t worry about mate. Family comes first. I’ve been playing a bit of Switch myself. Mainly Hades but I got Mario 3D Allstars too.

[@corywhitaker6653]

It was Monster Sanctuary for me last year. Now I'm in the middle of Xenoblade Chronicals DE. My daughter is replaying DQ Builders and my son is playing Mario Odyessy. He's excited for the release of 3D World with Bowser's Fury. Good grades and he knows I'll get it for him. By the way, thanks for the Koma gameplay. I took your list to my LGS last week. I'm changing it up this week to focus on Koma and less on sea creature tribal. It'll be a bit more brutal for my friends, but I don't think I'll pull it out all the time. I think it'll be my Craterhoof deck in my catalog. Haven't made one of those in paper yet.

[@codygottman2642]

I put vigor, DS, and PL in my list. It’s just good. And is almost unfair when most of the token production of from our commander. It’s just nuts!

[@murphygoodman2277]

Great video really excited about putting mine together all my purchases smh

[@dankurach5340]

Reading the comments while ads play indicate a face reveal 😳 😯

[@angelsalazar6435]

Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel / Tana, the Bloodsower food chain....

[@TheHuntersKnife]

Oh, my goodness a face. Nice video btw

[@amarauk9687]

Many thanks for the video, I'll savour it as soon as I come back home :) Can we get one for Ranar too?

[@tribalkai]

Thank you :) I’ll do some research and see if there’s any demand for it.

[@nicholasbarbian5793]

Might have been asked already, but would Freyalise be a good addition to slot in somewhere? Generating elves, naturalizing things, and then ultimating as a lesser shamanic revelation seem pretty good and obviously synergistic with the deck in terms of elves. Great video! I actually just bought the precon with a gift card from Christmas. Cheers!

[@tribalkai]

Yeah she’d be a great addition. I’d include her as an elf maker/Naturalize so I wouldn’t rely on her for card advantage from the ultimate. But I bet you could get that ultimate off quite consistently.

[@monomanamaniac]

You should run konda's banner, gives all your elves +2/+2

[@Mattismen]

Here's some engagement.

[@btothetuck]

Whoa, he's hot?? Love your videos!!

[@tribalkai]

(California bimbo voice) Sooooo hot!

[@btothetuck]
