    Definitely a lot of other cuts I would have made before thinking about dropping wood elves, farhaven, springbloom and harald. Curving a 1 mana elf into a 3 mana wood-elf-variant is just good times, and you can never have too much ramp and card draw in elf ball.

    • @MTGGoldfishCommander

      That's fine but curving a 1cmc mana dork into a better ramp elf like Elvish Archdruid is much better.

    Just ordered this pre-con today. Still fetches over MSRP. My local game store wanted $45 bucks for it. Found it online for half the price, and I have a good amount of the upgrades already. Super stoked.
    Also, awesome content. I love your videos and articles.

    I'll be honest I think having an elf that puts a land into play is much better than a mana dork. Removal and board wipes are decently commonplace.

    Also there are some older elves like timberwatch elf, wirewood channeler, elvish champion, and priest of titania that count all elves instead of just your own. Elfball bowl coming to commander clash? Then goblin bowl? Eventually WOTC will print so many precons we can do a tournament series: which EDH precon is the best?

    Some of these upgrades are a little crazy even though I overall like your philosophy. Pride of the Perfect is absolutely a MUST HAVE for any deck that is 1) playing this many creatures and 2) generating this many tokens. It's 2 power on every. single. creature. And you want to be smashing your face into the opponent anyway. Return upon the tide is an extremely powerful card that even lets you flex mana options with foretell. It immediately puts three elves onto the battlefield which I can then potentially tap if I have Lathril out. Since when is a card that returns a creature to the battlefield from the graveyard (with 2 free tokens attached!) a card you want to replace...? It's literally a suped up Eternal Witness, I don't see myself ever taking it out of my deck for anything. Harald Unites The Elves is a great card but they both belong in the deck.
    Also, I'm not sure I agree Crown of Skemfar is "slow and weak". It's definitely not Skull Clamp and the upgrade here is good, but again once you have the card, you can effectively keep putting it on the board and supercharging your Elves on repeat. Getting to a place where this thing is easily playable every turn is super easy for Green, especially Golgari Elves. I have mana everywhere, I'm not seeing how it's slow.

      Ikr? Its a repeatable, scaling up murder machine that heavily synergizes with the commander. Not including it seems like an oversight more than a choice.

    • @nimmer4749
      @nimmer4749 Před 3 lety

      @@oom-3262 Even with just a couple elves on the field, it allows Lathril to get so many more +1s when she connects. I agree, it seems like a big oversight. It's not a +1 counter deck, but getting more power onto Lathril so she can get more warriors with an enchantment that can be graveyard tutor'd on repeat... seems like a steal.

      I'm new to commander and only played MTG for just a bit. Is the idea to attach to your 1/1 tokens, kill it and get two cards for 1 mana, and then repeat as many times as you want per turn?
