Elfball against boggles just always feels like two people trying to solve solitaire faster than the other. Love to watch it but I'd hate to play it

Seeing a deck actually pay the upkeep cost on a Pact is like seeing someone run Thoracle as a scry 2

Paying for pact is pretty common though

Paradox Engine is a card that makes you feel like you're getting away with something. It's not a promise that you'll win, but it's the possibility that something miraculous could happen.

@39:06 Round 3 game 3, you say your opponent made a critical error by killing your Ezuri with Galvanic Discharge instead of the heritage druid... But if they target heritage druid you can just bounce a forest to untap your elvish mystic with Quirion ranger, regenerate the heritage druid and still be able to pay for the pact on your upkeep with Elvish Mystic + heritage druid mana and they are out a removal spell.

What an absolutely wild end to that game though. That was crazy, didn't even need paradox engine to win on hard mode.

I also play a lot of elves recently but I prefer the golgari verision with the elf check land and i reckon after a lot of testing you need like 5 discard cards post side to take out the wraths, eventually im going to try freebooter so can help with chord of calling while taking down the mass removals ...when i did that i could win even against tiers decks ...mono g version no chord unfortunately with bowmasters+ wraths no good :( ....chord answerd bowmaster well most of times . hopefully we ll get some extra cards to make this tribe good again...we are missing just a hand discard bg with legs ahah

I feel we're asking too much with the summoner and paradox. Just slam 4 warmaster 4 chord instead.also the new korvecald is insane. Elves benefits so much from being a toolbox deck. It gives us the answers we need when we need them, and warmaster can also be a win con that just snow balls if not answered. Great video as usual thraben! Ty for the content :)

your storm opponent was terrible. there was three mana up, three reducers, and a wish exiled. you cut their line to get there, but you’re just dead on board to wish for alchemist’s gambit on the last turn of that game.

I am quite sad that Legolas’s Quick Reflexes did make it into Modern. Seems like it would be quite good in the Elf deck.

Ezuri does the same thing but is also an elf for other synergies. I'd run another Ezuri before a hoof.
