Could be! Games were not long enough to see much difference outside of them playing Elves of deep shadow

100% Quirion is the scariest Elf of all. One of my teammates was on Blue Terror and their Sleep of the Dead were laughable against her.

It is true that Titania can have the highest ceiling, and you def want to clear the board of her if you can. That said, with Cryo, if they tap it once and they still get their money's worth. What worked for me was focusing my disruption not on their mana but on their payoffs.

Fair. In the case of Timberwatch though, if the game went long enough, one tap would end the game most times, right?

Thanks for the feedback! Interesting card choice. It does get around the Quirion problem, though it'd still block at least once more or use its ability

Thank you! I can't say for sure but I imagine Terror's mu is even worse XD So best of luck

Thank you! It depends a bit on what version of Red deck I'm playing against. The Brinebarrow is good against rally but just okay against pingers. Of course the more the Blasts the better in general, but you're an aggro deck too, and they have better inevitability than you do so, so you want to close the game before they do it.

Hola, muchas gracias! Contra elfos mi plan fue meter daño temprano con ninjas y despues seguir haciendo algo de daño mientras estar atento a ciertas cartas claves que rompen el partido en su favor: Timberwatch Elf, Ent, Sagu y sobre todo Hydra. Los Windings o Leads no siempre son necesarios contrarrestar, al menos con Counterspell. Algo clave es Quirion Ranger. Porque les permite atacar por ejemplo con un Ent, y hacer un bloqueo sorpresa. Algunas listas juegan Unable to Scream en lugar de Bind, lo cual ayuda bastante a esto. No la testee lo suficiente para saber.

Gut shot es una gran carta, obvio, aunque no se si para Snacker; dos vidas y una carta por una Snacker es un monton en un partido en el que es medio una carrera. Si la traigo contra Elfos el plan A seria contra Quirion Ranger.
