[@ericclark127]

Thanks for your tech deck builds

[@NidasRichmount]

Hey mr Bad Boy Mtg, I took nearly this exact deck down to the local mtg-place for a tournament, where people are way too competetive and running way too expensive decks "just for fun", and went 3-1! Lost only to keeping two bad hands and didn't have the common sense to mulligan. Epic build man :)

[@JoeyMossBBG]

+Nidas Richmount thank you

[@antoniomarino9444]

I'm probably late but i would like to say thank you for posting budget deck techs that are actually budget but very efficient at the same time. On other channels you can find "budget deck" of 150$ or more (?!) that are not as good as these.

[@88Moxy88]

where can i buy this deck?

[@SouruTV]

@@88Moxy88 you gotta buy the cards and then mix them together

[@nitaipaonessa3996]

Great budget elves deck, almost feels like legacy elves with the hyper agressive ramp into triumph of the hordes or tree speaker as replacements to craterhoof. Even without the tap/untap shenanigans of legacy elves it still accelerates well by turn three. Also a big fan of regal force, even the most competitive decks will run one over hoof daddy.

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Likes and Shares go a long way! More budget deck techs to come!

[@mikemckee3805]

Bad Boy MTG Solid deck, I've played a similar budget elves with lead and triumph. I used Elvish Champion and that one drop green enchantment that makes a land all basic land types and enchant my opponents land with it. Unblockable infect! Also checkout bramblewood paragon puts a counter on all your warriors Joraga. I run 4 Ezuri instant speed overrun is better than sorcery overrun.

[@JoeyMossBBG]

+Mike McKee I was trying to avoid elvish champion combo infect, but that sounds like a great deck

[@caiopuertas1401]

Please, do a mono black vampire tribal deck ❤

[@shawnmiranda805]

How much was the cost of this deck roughly?

[@patrickwolff6902]

Bad Boy Gaming love the deck! How come u didn’t use heritage Druid

[@lauvo1831]

I've been playing magic for about 5/6 years now and I've always played red/black, burn/goblins, you get the idea. But I really want to try something else but I find it really hard to built something that isn't burn. So I think this is a great place to start! Thank you

[@kylelouthan4759]

With a 1 or 2 card difference, I built that exact deck which was then promptly stolen from me about two years back. Glad to see I am not the only one who thought that was a pretty cool combo.

[@daltonmekis]

The reason people don't play overrun is bc they usually play 3-4 ezuri renegade leaders which has the ability built into it

[@mazzacanem5987]

Dalton Mekis Buth overrun Has more impact , cheaper mana Cost and ezuri = no haste ;) you need no ezuri , fact

[@saxyman1365]

Ezuri is a legendary tho

[@CharacterUnlimited]

Also the fact cratterhoof behemoth is a creature that does more, another one at the same price give +x+x and can actively provide more buff and the fact that coat of arms is also another of the same cost that lasts longer. Overrun is overrated unless it's edh or tokens w/g

[@aaronoyster9627]

Exactly, Dalton.

[@Smucklz]

@@mazzacanem5987 why does it matter if ezuri has haste? It's not a tap effect

[@spoulin996]

Oh yes! Combining two of my favorite decks: Infect and Elves.

[@obi-wankenobihasthehighgro6607]

Plashing black and adding collected company and shaman of the pack is awesome!!

[@drewskiinubby]

Loved playing elves. I ran 2 omnath locust of mana in there. Mana doesn't leave your pool between phases. Favorite saying :"Floating 150 green mana, pass."

[@SpencerMcBloodClock]

I shared this video and now a chunk of my friends are going to watch the channel and make this deck

[@JoeyMossBBG]

+Spencer McLauchlan It's a lotta fun, decently competitive

[@cannastartover1720]

This is exactly my first magic deck, right down to the over run. Love this

[@John-nh5bk]

How much did it cost you? I’m new and really thinking of building this.

[@HGVampiric]

Love this Elf deck. I will be trying it in the future! Elves are my favorite archetype as is. Thank you for the video

[@zedekuszule963]

Love this elf deck. I totally forgot about regal force! My elf deck is around $150-170 and I've got Heritage druids and nettle sentinels in it. Example: Turn 1: forest and nettle sentinel Turn 2: forest, nettle sentinel and heritage Druid, tap them all for 3 floating then play another nettle and untap your first 2. (You now have 2 floating green and 4 creatures)tap all your nettle sentinels, cast growing rites and untap nettles. Dig for a creature and flip growing rites then tap cradle of the sun for 4 green. Tap your nettles for 3 green (total of 7) and cast a 3/3 Joraga Warcaller then swing for 5 on turn 2 with one of your nettles. Turn 3: a land that gives your blue mana and cast beck//call get more creatures and cards and get huge :)

[@JoeyMossBBG]

ZEDEKUS ZULE heritage and sentinals is common at $100-$200 price range. This deck is to combat that deck for cheap

[@zedekuszule963]

Bad Boy MTG I definitely agree. Also have you considered sylvan messenger? It's like 30 cents and just a great card in general

[@lizardoo8632]

Ha i love seeing ultra budget decks that actually work.

[@danieljohnsopardenilla997]

Battlegrowth (instant) is best for Joraga Warcaller since Battlegrowth only costs 1 green mana to cast and it says, "Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature". So, you don't have to do the kicker because kicker costs 2 converted mana to cast while battlegrowth only costs 1. Not just that, it's also pretty efficient since if it's only Battlegrowth alone, you target only 1 creature. But, since there is Jaroga Warcaller, a +1/+1 will be added to each of your elf creatures each time you cast Battlegrowth on Jaroga Warcaller

[@johnkorinko2862]

daniel pardenilla or you could just play verdurous gearhulks or immaculate magistrates

[@syc0nius883]

This is ELFSANITY, gotta love the infect

[@r.l.zmusicgroup1134]

This is a great deck! Elvish Promenade and Triumph of the Hordes, hella combo that most are not expecting.

[@goodoldno_name1072]

>people see video and want the deck. >demand for the featured cards sky-rocket. >card kingdom raises prices, in response, on those specific cards. >local game shops match Cardkingdom prices. >$30 deck becomes $350 deck.

[@NightfallGemini]

Fwiw this has been up for almost a year and the maindeck rares and Imperious Perfects still only come out to like $30 to $40 which isn't bad at all. Everything else is basically quarter box junk or bulk rares.

[@slasheztech5390]

GoodOldNO_NAME nope I built the deck on tapped out only comes out to $40

[@hyperguyver2]

For added shits and giggles sideboard Priest of Titania, Skyshroud Elves and Banefire. They never expect an uncounterable fireball from elves anymore. It's just a fun twist on the Channel/Fireball combo from back in the day.

[@monomanamaniac]

Immaculate magistrate for Joraga warcaller. Also elemental bond for the card draw, the lords will make your creatures big enough for this to be very relevant,

[@chelseymarie1051]

10:36 Beast Whisper is an MVP. The Great Henge is solid too. I use both in Historic Elves on Arena. I know they're different formats, but Elves can work.

[@dustinkendall1038]

Any chance we could get an update to this list? It would be awesome if we could, I'm seriously looking into building this deck along with a Pauper Elves deck

[@raffsshow1859]

wow im going to build this deck for my first elf deck

[@JoeyMossBBG]

+Raff's Show do it

[@Bush_Striker_of_Towers]

I'd recommend Elvish Champion and Nyleas Presence for the forest walk for all of your elves. *Elvish Champion effects all elves so you might want sideboard the champion if you have a high elf deck meta at your LGS.*

[@koboldbiopellet]

Raff's Show Run the new Marwyn, the Nurturer, she is .70 as I write this.

[@CeeEmmz]

I second that hahaha.... this deck is SAVAGE

[@mitchelll899]

Same but I do question why no bellowing tangle worms which give all green cards you control intimidate same with running the cheaper Terra stomper as he can't be countered and is a big trampler. But now a day you also need 3 steel leaf champion 3 green for a 5/4

[@NitrousDragon]

6:25 ok, when I heard this I had to comment, I have NEVER had an elf deck without Overrun, I mean what are you doing without Overrun? Oh I know, losing. Lol.

[@pawezarnotal1382]

Sth like 15-20 years ago I played similar one with stuff like coat of arms and priest of Titania, elvish archers and some other stuff I can’t even remember :)

[@jonmartin299]

My old school elf deck Rocks as it used any color mana and Rebels that could bring all my elves into play on one turn and stomp the opponents with 1 billion+ / 1 billion+ Elves, and more. I let people learn the power of elves and learn the game this way. I gave the deck to my Daughter. Most of the cards are still cheap. I think if you like tokens Krenko is where its at.

[@LincolnWiseDidMyMom]

I run a red green black elf deck that works pretty well. A card you may want to look into is chameleon collussus. It's a 4/4 that can count as an elf and can double it's power and toughness for 4 Mana. Immune to Black. Easy win condition

[@H1rg0n5387]

Hey Mr. Moss....love this deck idea. Currently piecing the cards together now (with some changes i am making). Hoping that this deck goes wide very fast :-) 18x Forest 4x Elvish Mystic 4x Llanowar Elves 4x Druid of the Cowl 4x Dwynen's Elite 2x Elvish Visionary 2x Beast Whisperer 4x Elvish Archdruid 4x Imperious Perfect 4x Joraga Warcaller 4x Elvish Promendade 4x Regal Force 4x Overrun Love your channel please keep up the great work.

[@BoatsFullofSeamen]

yes i love this stuff joey. i saw this on my recommended and was like "He made another deck teck yes!"

[@redwoolsocks]

Worth the wait, nice change up to the typical elf builds floating around. Craterhoof behemoth is also a nice add on ;)

[@liuton2005]

I kinda like this deck. I stopped playing when Mirrodin came out and I had an elf deck with cards from Onslaught. I just might start playing again with this deck.

[@turator1157]

Presence of gond? it gives a creature the ability to tap to make an elf warrior token. could equip it to one of the draw elfs and it would keep generating elfs.

[@JeffRiggz]

I'm kind of surprised that you didn't mention Elvish Pioneer. A 1/1 Elf for one Forest, When elvish Pioneer comes into play, you may put an additional land from you hand into play tapped. Regardless man, I still appreciate your videos, I'm currently ordering most of these cards mentioned, great work!

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Thanks but since we're not running many lands it might not be the best inclusion

[@vidalpeterson1918]

Yea Forreal 2x overrun and 2x triumph are my favorite spells to end game with!

[@dorkjedi]

Oh man, reminds me of my Coat of Elves deck i used to play ages and ages ago!

[@jonahpwns]

These deck techs are what brought me to your channel in the first place. And it happened to be an infect deck. Which means elves :D

[@JoeyMossBBG]

+PurpleTheBurple yay

[@tanneryarbrough8558]

My Fave elf deck is a modified Elves vs Goblins deck. added Nissa Revane and total 4 Well wisher and maxed out life gain.

[@mrbreeze3954]

This deck is really interesting, if only I wasn't a kiln fiend lover I would totally try to make this deck!

[@MrFragileAndy]

I've always disregarded them but thanks to you I'll start being nice to goats

[@Temphost1408]

Been waiting for this and not dissapointed :D

[@farradaysshadow3945]

Added Myr Superions to juice up early turn muscle

[@grimantis1397]

I used to run craterhoof behemoth, Nissa revene , and soul of the harvest in a pretty similar deck

[@william5098]

Because with renegade leader you can multi over run with him on the field

[@zacklothamer9533]

Hey Joey love all your videos especially the deck techs! I would suggest putting the deck list in the description possibly so you don't have to watch four times in a row on to get the whole list down 😁

[@JoeyMossBBG]

+Zack Lothamer I do that once the video reaches X amount of views. Feel free to share

[@NidasRichmount]

Noice!! Ezuri in sorcery-form is a nice touch! Try to path that you moist moist tools!! I'm gonna try this out fo sho

[@LincolnWiseDidMyMom]

Very interesting idea with the infect. I run a similar build but I've but black and red In it. Mostly so I can play lavalanche for 3X mana you deal X damage to an opponent and everything they control. Id also run 4 priests of Titania instead of the arbor elves, and throw 2 copied of ulamog in there if you want to spend a small fortune

[@conker3425]

Thanks very much for sharing this deck, I really appreciate it. Subscribed!

[@ZMLsavage]

Also ambush commander is great for a side board possibility. All forests are 1/1 elves.

[@Ryan-bi5mz]

Not a bad elf deck for the budget...just wanted to say my friends and I have been running Overrun with elves since Tempest

[@zeroravager4379]

nice...love elves....will have to see what I got in mine.u could also add in some nissas,the one from oath that gives counters.

[@JeramiahStump]

I made an elf deck and added day of the dragons! So unexpected when you transform all your badass elf’s into even more badass dragons! And it’s a blue card so just add arbor elf and utopia sprawl with frees from the real! Boom!

[@ericclark127]

I think u should add tuskgaurd captain three to cast and any creature with a 1/1 counter on it has trample

[@THENOOBLEGACYTEAM]

Hell yeah. Take my like you beautiful beast!

[@JoeyMossBBG]

+Julian Mono ty sir

[@Xevikan77]

Genesis wave can help put all your creatures out fast Collective company is an expensive version of lead the stampede but it plays the creatures Elvish Magistrate works fabulously with joraga since the counters it puts on him cause him to give +1/+1s to everyone else With all the mass mana stream of life is nice. Especially in multiplayer games.

[@moogwilliams5071]

i have a very similar deck, though there are changes, i think i got 39 39/39's by round 5 or 6 i think (using Hydra Broodmaster), that's the only non-elf card i had though.

[@SomethingUnprofessional69]

"Triumph of the hordes is 2.50, 3 bucks" oh how times have changed.

[@zacharyfitzpatrick7956]

I made this exact deck but I added Nissa Revane for some major life gain as well as extra elves

[@Xevikan77]

Possible sideboards you could add could include: Khalni Hydra, or Primalcrux

[@moldytaters4190]

The reason why people don't put Overrun in the deck is because Ezuri's second ability is Overrun. I would get rid of one Overrun and put Rishkar. He puts +1/+1 counters on elfs, and makes them tap for mana. Other than that, this deck is pretty sweet! Edit: you could also sideboard a second harvest, or a doubling season (if you want you spend some money).

[@JoeyMossBBG]

Kason Zechiel I'll keep it the way it is, he's a legendary

[@moldytaters4190]

i mean, can you imagine sitting down with this deck and sideing in 4 actual gaea's cradles? bricks would be shat.

[@revelrebel5904]

I want to build elves, but it to much money, but this is perfect because it good and it's not a crappie deck teck.

[@FolloweroftheBlind]

I'm glad I'm not the only person to put glistener elf in Elves...I've tried it just to throw people off in the beginning and never truly won with the infect but I love this deck...infect is always nice.

[@turboecoinrings6839]

what should i take out for ONE carnage tyrant AND TWO growing rites of itlimoc? i have them on order and dont know what to take out of the deck....thanks.

[@Smucklz]

Have you considered beast whisperer for card draw, also elvish clancaller for a 2 Mana +1/+1 buff. I do realize they came out after this video, but I think they could be good in it. Also llanowar visionary is good too

[@rjc2337]

Cool. Nice take on elves!

[@Whereisthefall]

just in time for christmas

[@Gloomwidow]

get rid of the dino and add immaculate magistrate tap to add +1+1 tokens to your elf for the amount of elves you control. Also add alpha status great card and rancor never hurts.

[@CesarMartinez-fd7ok]

Ooh this looks like it's going to be good

[@sain223]

Triumph of the hordes + Taunting Elf= GG

[@dzspdref]

Lovely - infect destroys creatures with "indestructible" too. Subtle but lovely.

[@invictus_Vi]

[@lauvo1831]

I’m a bit new to magic. What exactly is a sideboard? What can you do with it

[@Moon-wd4mz]

Sideboards are used in Best of 3/Best of 5 Games. Between each "match" players have the opportunity to sub in/out cards depending on what their opponent is running.

[@Quaraezha]

Nobody expects Infect from elves. Of course!

[@rwr233b]

what about "Heedless One" as a sideboard power and toughness egual to the number of elves you control.. like a 5/5 on turn 3 and it grows

[@BardePhilippe.P76]

I don't have joraga but a 2 champion of lambolt. 3 ezuri 3 imperious perfect 1 kamalh fist of krosa, 2 wirewood, 2 channeler , 1 clancaller. 1 krosan cloudscraper, 2 dwynen gilt leaf. Hurricane and plummet for pesky flyers. 3 staff of domination for the cheese infinite life/mana and creatures combo

[@Blurbturb]

You should add links to the budget decks you make on tappedout so it would be easier for us to buy them if we choose to.

[@joshthompson4005]

Nice deck! I have a similar idea I have been working on.

[@SplatterFrog]

How many cards (or min max cards does one have to have in their playing deck for a game)? Is it 40 cards or??? Not sure of the rule.

[@elbehemoth386]

60 cards.

[@jessescott727]

Turn 3 TC: turn 1 forest elvish mystic pass. Turn 2 forest elvish archdruid. Turn 3 tap elvish mystic for some other 1 drop (I'd run llawanor elves) then tap elvish archdruid and all your lands then boom 3 turn clock starts so gg

[@CallenExile]

What about Lys Alana Huntmaster instead of Dwynen's Elite? It's 4 cost but triggers with every elf spell cast instead of just the one time.

[@JustgamingFl890]

Where is slate of ancetery? Elvish Champion? Jagged Scared Archers? Headless One? Elvish Guidance? Immaculate Magistrate to beef up Joraga Warcaller? Wellwishers for life gain? Taunting Elf? Voice of the woods? Elvish Harbinger? Elvish Skysweeper? Wirewood Symbiote? Greenweaver Druid? I understand you were doing on a budget but there are way better elfs that could be put in. I have been running elfs for over 10 years now only four people have won against my deck. And it has grown and evolved over that time but on that list above is just a few cards that are staples for an elf deck.

[@OgreOwner]

Taunting Elf not legal in Modern...

[@aidanalmeida6031]

Say you have "nissa, sage animist" what would you switch it out with or is it even worth putting in?

[@LuisRivera-fq4ev]

I run a similar deck that's white soldiers. More of an end game overwhelm style than a quick win though. I have more fun that way

[@1sep2theside]

Maybe I'm buy at the wrong spot... But it was over 70 where I looked lol still a crazy deck. Just need to get it all ;)
