Tribal Elves

[blobman]

Yes, a type 2 tribal deck. It needs alittle help in some areas. Here's the list, then I will continue...

Deck
Elvish Destruction 2.0 Creature- Elf 31 Elves of deep shadow 4 Elvish Berserker1 Elvish Champion 4 Elvish Skysweeper 4 Elvish Warrior 4 Golgari Guildmage 4 LLanowar Elves 4 Selesnya Guildmage 4 Wood Elves 4 Artifacts 7 Umezawa's Jitte 4 Coat of Arms 3 Land 22 Forest 17 Overgrown Tomb 1 Temple Garden 2

My sideboard is very rough; my start is....

Deck
	Sideboard Viridian Shamen 4 Naturalize 4 Glare of Subdual 3 Ghostway 4

The main problem with the deck is mass removal. Ghostway is helpful for that but it is a wreck if ghostway is absent. I am testing but that is all for now. I got to go test!
I will say more soon, and any help is appreciated!

Bump, Please rate or give comments. Any constuctive or hopefully not but destructive comments accepted. A responce would meen the world as I do not want another one of my decks go through and down the forum, lost into the abyss.
Thank you in advance!

First of all, you have 6 Coat of Arms in your deck. While I don't find them needed, you can play them if you want.
Second, you really need some removal. Putrefy is a great way of taking care of opposing Rumbling Slums, or Burning-tree Shamans.
Third, you may want to have a Vitu-Ghazi or two. I know the tokens it produce are not elves, but still it gives you something to do after Wrath. Silhanna Ledgewalker is also a fine addition to the elven tribe. With a Jitte in hand she could easily win the game on her own. You really don't need those Elvish Skysweepers.

Thank you, well, I am only suppose to have 3 Coat of arms, it is a mistake on my part. I like the addition of Vitu-Ghazi, the city-tree, i would add only a 2 or maybe 3 because of lack of color, but would help, and very synergistic with Coat of arms.I think I will playputrefy or mortify(depends on my meta, haven't been at the place in a while) in sideboard, mainboard it may just kill a weak WWr creature. I don't want to fully eliminate the sky sweeper because he is a 1 drop. I don't like that I have to play him and elvish berserker but the weenie swarm is crucial. The Silhana ledgewalker is a maybe. He is week, but 1 sided untargetablility is powerful. I will try him and take out the golgari guildmage. That because he is always a 2/2 for 2, sans the rarely useful ability. I am thinking of adding blanchwood armor, what do you or anybody think?

[Aitrus]

consider nullmage shepherd

Silhana Ledgewalker is a must in this deck, especially since you're playing Jitte.

I would also probably try to find room for Civic Wayfinder, and Putrefy would make a good SB card.

Moldervine Cloak could be better than Blanchwood Armor as you can bring it back from the graveyard.

Svoghtos, the Restless Tomb is a great land to run against control builds. It can't be countered and dishes alot a lot of damage after they've wrathed away your elves. Hope that helps.

Moldervine Cloak has been at the back of my mid to switch to, but Svogthos, the restless tombis Genius. I think I will replace the tree for the tomb. I am going to test both cloak and armor and see how it turns out. Also, Nullmage shepard is to much mana for what I want to do. And I think mortify would be better for me.
Edit" Just woke up from my delsion ment and it hit me "its not green at all you idoit" for mortify. Putrefy it is!

[Deliverance]

Have you tried Genju of the Cedars yet?, Thats a good card, I have seen it used in elf dekcs before also Viridian shaman possibly mainboarded, that is very useful against enemy Jittes, and oter stuff.

[blobman]

Ok, with sugestions made, my list is looking differnt

Deck
Tribal Elves V2.1 Creature- Elf... Elves of Deep Shadow 4 Elvish Berserker 2 Elvish Champion 4 Elvish Skysweeper 1 Elvish Warrior 4 Llanowar Elves 4 Selesnya Guildmage 4 Silhana Ledgewalker 4 Wood Elves 4	Enchantment- Aura Blanchwood Armor 3 Artifact Coat of Arms 3 Artifact- Equipment Umezawa's Jitte 3 Lands Svogthos, the Restless Tomb 2 Overgrown Tomb 1 Temple Garden 2 Forest 15

Deck
	Sideboard Glare of Subdual4 Ghostway 4 Putrefy 4 Naturalize 3

Thank you everybody, Please post if you think the adjustments were right or wrong. All comments help the deck!
Oh yes, and I am also going to test of Genju of the Cedars and see how he works out.
Thank you in advance!

I really suggest the cloak insted of the armor, unless the armor works alot better, I also dont think the skysweeper is needed that much.

edit: I would put in Putrefy in insted of the elvish Berserker and the skysweeper.

---I thank you for your thoughts but in some areas I have contrary beliefs. The moldervine cloak is still a debateable topic as I haven't finished testing with it. Although with the already included wood elves is a blanch booster and blanch most times reaches +4/+4 through +6/+6, +5/+5 mostly.
'
---As for the elimination of the Elvish Berserker and Elvish Skysweeper I don't think that will happen. They are cogs to what is my deck. They are only in there solely for being 1cc elves. They are a very important play after a Wood Elves so the extra mana does not go to waste and to set up for a next turn Elvish Champion which are nessential elements to the deck.

---A soon to come thing is someone will say that "You will never draw Elvish Skysweeper." I have the elf in there as kind of a 3rd Elvish Berserker. Its just that I may rarely need to kill a flier and he does his job. Even though without flier to kill, it is only alittle weaker then its runnerup counter Norwood scout because i would never consider using him over sweeper or berserker.
Thank you and keep on posting people!

my bad I meant the warrior.

[doublelift]

I would take a slightly different route:

Deck
Land (20) 4x Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree 4x Temple Garden 4x Overgrown Tomb 8x Forest Creatures (27) 4x Elvish Champion 4x Selesnya Guildmage 4x Elvish Warrior 4x Wood Elves 4x Llanowar Elves 4x Silhana Ledgewalker 3x Elvish Berserker	Other Stuff (13) 4x Mortify 4x Moldervine Cloak 3x Umezawa's Jitte 2x Putrefy	Sideboard (15) 4x Glare of Subdual 2x Putrefy 3x Terashi's Grasp 3x Yosei, the Morning Star 3x Kokusho, the Evening Star

This gives you basically the same theme, but a faster start and better late game.

---So your saying your deck is 100% better?! About how is your early game so golden when you only have 7 1cc creatures. You have only alittle chance of getting 3 mana turn 2. Also, after you play your wood elves turn 3 and get your mana, you will doubtably play into another 1cc and he will only be mana fixing in what should be about a mono-green deck. And if you play turn 4, for a 2cc, that isn't to good. Also, Vitu-Ghazi, The City-Tree may not be so good for early game at a 4 of. Producing colorless mana will delay a turn one or turn 2 play. 2 in your opening hand is an auto-mulligan almost.
---- A 4 of mortify is also very risky, the probability of you getting both a black and white mana. I would definatly add 4 putrefy's and take out the mortify's to add consistency.
---- Also, your curve is overall higher then mine, which could result in that you may need a couple more forests. As I may even need them with a overall count of less mana.
Thank You for posting and all comebacks are welcome.

@Taking out the warriors: I doubt I will because there big butt is very helpful at picking of WWeenies. I will try though if rock is hurting me alot.
