richard learning that the way to build a deck is to acknowledge its weaknesses and try to build around them rather than just not playing them at all. elf ball folds to wraths but you build around it by playing cards that counter wraths or draw you massive amount of cards to make the wraths not as bad.

Richard, please realise not every deck is a Richard deck. It’s OK. Not every deck will fit your playstyle, but please don’t try to half bake a deck into it. Lathril is plenty fast, if you build around her ability and play it on curve. Indeed, if you don’t do that you’ll be too slow. If you play cards like Syphon Mind you won’t have a critical mass of elves to leverage. This is actually a great matchup for the deck. Just get Lathril down on turn 3, give her evasion and hit once or twice, turn 5/6 you have a small army and you overrun. Poison Tip Archer if premium wipe protection. You will easily take out one or two slower opponents who can’t block a wide board like Dragons. OK rant over, guess I’ve gotten beat down by elves a few times too many lol

In my exp, mana dorks are bad in casual. They die to a light breeze. 32 (+2) lands is just asking for non-games. There are also a handful of cards that require to have some sort of board state or they do nothing. I have a Lathril deck and quickly found out it's not an "elf" deck, it's a "Lathril" deck. Most strategies and cards center around Lathril. Cards mainly focus on getting Lathril on board, having ways to connect with Lathril (trample/unblockable), protecting Lathril, and card draw (b/c duh). Token doublers also became useless cards. If Lathril stays alive and connects, making tokens is super easy. Unless you can finish the game that turn, having too many elves out just paints yourself as a threat (when you may not be) b/c they fear Lathril's activated ability (gain 10 life, they lose 10 life).
