Elves Legacy Deck (Patreon)

Here's the next update in my series on decks I have. Elves first really became a thing for me during Onslaught block. There were just so many awesome elves in Onslaught and Legions. A lot of them were at lower rarities, like Wellwisher and Timberwatch Elf, which made them awesome to draft. This led me getting excited about elves and eventually making an elf deck, which you can see an old version of here:

Two things to note. First, there's the clear sleeves. I can't remember the last time I used clear sleeves like this! Second, there's the Ultra Pro deck box the sleeves came in. These deck boxes came with 100 sleeves and were the perfect size for a sleeved 60 card deck. I still have a couple dozen of these boxes to hold decks in. It's really a shame Ultra Pro doesn't use these anymore.

Eventually, once I collected all the typical cards needed for a competitive Elves Legacy Deck, I resleeved the deck with KMCs.

Remember when KMC sleeves were the best? If you don't know the story, when KMC was bought by another company and their sleeves went to crap, I made this comic:

Ultra Pro saw this, and actually surprised me by sending me a thoughtful note and a big sample of Eclipse sleeves:

which was pretty funny. I've heard though that KMCs are now better. Do you guys know about any updates on this?

Okay, that was quite a digression. Here's my full Elves Deck if you're interested:

If you've ever played with or against Legacy Elves, you know this isn't a cute creature deck but rather a combo deck. It's of course pretty pricey to build these days, but you have to remember that many of the cards, like the Gaea's Cradles and Unlimited Bayous, I've had basically forever. If you're looking closely, you may notice that there are slightly less than 60 cards here. That's because I've borrowed a few cards out of the deck for my cube and my Animar Commander deck. Can you spot which cards are missing?

Okay, that's it for this look at one of my decks. Hope you enjoyed it!
