General Elfball deck, which seems fairly strong in Historic since Elvish Visionary
and Imperious Perfect
were added in Historic Anthology 1. Having access to two lord effects for elves (Imperious Perfect and Elvish Clancaller
, is quite strong. Castle Garenbrig
generating 6 mana that can be used to activate Elvish Clancaller is a pretty great combo - especially if you can "cheat" the cost with mana dorks like Llanowar Elves
and Paradise Druid
early on.
There may honestly be too much card draw in the later game since all of the draw effects on Elvish Visionary, Beast Whisperer
, Vanquisher's Banner
, and The Great Henge
are not "may" abilities, so having a few of them stack can go through your deck really quickly.
Update: I added a rough sideboard with a few general non-Elf utility creatures like Thrashing Brontodon
and Shifting Ceratops
for their strength in certain matchups, as well as Once Upon a Time
to help find them, and Veil of Summer
in matches against blue and/or black control decks.
Update 2: Once Upon a Time and Veil of Summer have been suspended. As there aren't many sideboard options I like in their places, I have replaced them with Return to Nature
, Wildborn Preserver
, and Questing Beast
. I don't really like Wildborn Preserver a lot in decks like this since you want to go wide rather than big, but the Flash and Reach abilities can come in clutch in some situations.
