🎅 The Elves Have Left The North Pole 🎅- ⚫🟢 - Golgari Elves - (Modern)

[@devinanni8117]

As someone that use to play legacy elves around 2014 till 2019 as my main deck. It is an incredibly difficult deck to sequence. The number of times in the mirror i thought well damn they punted was high. You did pretty decent for picking up this pile to just jam without practice

[@BuddyImBaked]

Not gunna lie I know about Karn’s bed and it still got me today thinking I messed up my iPad 😂 love the show thanks for the great content!

[@inamecomeunico8935]

24:50 not with that list, but you can make infinite mana with Wirewood Symbiote + Mirror Entity or Quirion Ranger + Ashaya

[@DieKriel]

Is Craterhoof ever played in modern elves or just in legacy?

[@aidanhood3666]

Mostly legacy because of natural order

[@alchemy3830]

Pretty sure it's just legacy, natural order is what makes craterhoof good. I'd prefer just pumping my board if I have to actually pay for it.

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

You'd have to pay full price in Modern, so you might as well just use any of the multiple elves with Overrun abilities.

[@argsgsgsgnngndg9894]

you could actually cheat it into play with Eladamri so it's not that unreasonable

[@Higley1234]

Removal is played a lot more than in legacy so it's hard to get hoof to actually become lethal, especially since this deck plays everything in one turn

[@waltyzpromotions6817]

Love the elf content, Jim. By any chance Have you playtested any Simic Elves lists running Lonis and/or Mockingbird?

[@skell_jams]

what's this? a ranger caught off his guard?

[@Alikaoz]

Who the heck is Eldamary?

[@GilroyIronheart]

Eldamary quite contrary

[@chris_jonesmtg]

Magic online is so bad to look at lol. Jim the only thing making this video watchable. Enjoy all the content as usual.

[@MisanthropicCurmudgeon]

Hell no. Arena is an eye sore. Why do I want blinking lights and animations for a layered complex game lol

[@Higley1234]

So many people stopped watching because he stopped playing eternal formats. Just enjoy the content and let people enjoy the content without complaining

[@chris_jonesmtg]

@@Higley1234 hmmm I stated an opinion and even complimented the content sorry your feelings were hurt.

[@myaramiu]

Arena is an eyesore and MODO has a much better economy and wider range of formats. I've avoided Arena for multiple reasons, mainly being the wildcard system and it's algorithm on how hands are shaped. MODO you can just get a rental service and go to town. No grinding needed. You can also play commander. I agree with the person above that magic shouldn't have flashy animations for a complex game, it really distracts and makes you a worse player on paper.

[@narvuntien]

Seeing you struggle with Elves makes my respect for elves players go up. "Yargle! I have come to Bargle" has been in my head all week and its your fault.

[@rekenner]

Legacy Combo Elves was relatively commonly considered the hardest combo deck in competitive formats and this is pretty close to Legacy Combo Elves.

[@ryandecraene6432]

I love these modern leagues.

[@adamgreen6051]

[@Ryees9]

This deck is... not really far off from Legacy Elves, is it? We're missing, what, Glimpse? Gaea's Cradle? You were never hurting for mana so I'm not sure I buy that Cradle is *that* necessary (obviously it's an absurd card, I'm not denying that). And Glimpse is big, but Leaf-Crowned Visionary does an *okay* Glimpse impression. I love Elves, this is very exciting.

[@scotbush4338]

Cradle is very necessary, as is natural order for craterhoof. And glimpse now that I mention it lol so yeah still a ways away from legacy...

[@DiscardatRandom]

Its not far off besides the strongest cards

[@TheREALIzludez]

its really sad that MTG:Online is still the premier place to play the best formats the game has to offer... over 20 years old and Arena is still a dumpster fire of a program.

[@ThatnerdyguySam]

Mtgo is painful to watch. The whole application moves so slow, laggy, clunky, with loud clicking. How has wizards not done away with this horrible system and just merged it all into MTG Arena? They could easily eliminate this, put all the formats in MTG Arena, and merge people's collection from MTGO onto MTG Arena. While they're at it, they should get rid of alchemy because it's garbage.

[@MisanthropicCurmudgeon]

MTGO is way more enjoyable for people who don't like to stare at a slot machine.

[@MisanthropicCurmudgeon]

@@ThatnerdyguySam I have a fully formed 🧠 with healthy dopamine levels 📈. I can focus on things without extra stimulation ⚡ . Enjoy your malformed 🫛 brain and need for blinking 🚨 and cOoOoL noises 🔊. Hope you enjoyed the emojis 😄! Thought they would be necessary to help you keep focus through the whole answer since it was more than one sentence. I know you zombies 🤢 struggle when things aren't bright and stimulating ☕.

[@MisanthropicCurmudgeon]

​@@ThatnerdyguySam Arena is for children. MTGO is for playing with precision... It's okay if you like it when blinky lights go 🚨 🚨🚨. Just don't hate on people with healthy dopamine levels who don't need the extra stimulation to pay attention 😘

[@PS-cq8qr]

And Wizards has completely ruined the Arena app with its hand smoothing algorithm. It either floods you out or screws you. I've never played a fair game on Arena. MTGO doesn't have that algorithm it weights all cards the same instead of assigning more value to lands than spells.

[@ThatnerdyguySam]

@@PS-cq8qr that algorithm only plays in best of one. Not sure if you know that. I'm not saying it's great, and I think they should get rid of it too, but it is only in best of one.
