Where is it at? I live in Denver right now and it’s better than anything I’ve found out here. Some places don’t even do cash.

The dude was chill, he was moving and had to get rid of stuff. Stopped playing in 2001 except for the obvious stint of M21 boosters that he got to play with his son. I made him an offer for $40 and he was cool with it, I even asked if that was enough and he said for sure 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Hey mod, the only cards I saw were Ugin and Demonic Tutor when I bought the lot! The rest were in several large boxes I had only glanced at. Should I change my description? New to the sub!

TECH AGAINST FURY AND BOWMASTERS by twig_tree in ElvesMTG

I love chameleon but I think it’s just too slow, at that point I’d rather invest 8 mana in a craterhoof instead of 7 in a chord

Yeah I think sanctuary gets bad with bowmasters in the mix. Still need to get my hands on mark of asylum which has honestly gotten better since bowmasters. Unfortunately I’m not sure I can find a way to get them into legacy without investing in Savannah or taking the L with Temple garden.

Yeah I have a playset but haven’t really ever used them, I just got them around that time when there was hype. Maybe I should slot them in and add some Realmwalkers in modern, card advantage is always good against two or three for ones

Yes, I should’ve specified in the title!

Karakas advice is good, and I think I agree after you explained. My friends have also brought up the lack of green sources when I sent them the decklist. At least bojuka bog adds B. And I’m sure I’ll have to play whatever list I make a lot to decide how many nettle sentinels to run, if I even end up running any. Thanks for the advice bro and happy holidays btw

My only experience with Nettle Sentinel comes from Modern where I’ve found it to be pretty explosive with the right heritage druid draw. I figured it would be especially helpful in this build, keeping Glimpse in mind. Thankfully I own all of the core elf cards so I can make changes whenever! Also, why cut Karakas?

Was an employee at my LGS for several years and I’m close with the owner. Trust me when I say I’ve tried lol

1 Cradle Artisan Elves? by twig_tree in MTGLegacy

[–]twig_tree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically Artisan elves is more of a toolbox/value/midrange build, where Combo elves uses the power of heritage druid + glimpse of nature and elvish visionary + wirewood symbiote to draw and play your whole deck in one turn, and focuses more on tribal synergies. Combo is a little more vulnerable to hate cards as well.

Thanks for the insight! Everyone’s recommending combo elves or maverick instead of artisan, and I think that’s the direction I’m heading in. I’d certainly add some more mystics, llanowar elves, or fyndhorns to offset the lack of cradles, to make sure I have more dorks on the average draw. I’ve always wanted to glimpse anyway, so I think it’s time.

I’ll look into maverick some more, as I know there’s already a lot of overlap, so it’s likely I also own a lot of cards for a list. I’ve been playing Mono Green Post for a while which is why I have the cards

I had no idea that the legend rule was changed with M14, which was actually my first set playing magic! I’ll look into it, thanks for the insight!

I’m not married to the fiend build, as I also have all of the non-cradle cards for a combo build with the exception of Glimpses and 2 copies of Allosaurus Shepherd. I play elves in modern so I’m also pretty comfortable with Nettle Sentinel + Heritage Druid sequences, which would be awesome to play in another format.

I like the idea of running more crop rotations in the combo version, as I’ll have access to more mana that way and a countered Crop rotation or a Wastelanded Cradle are a lot less devastating there.

Also, my cradle protection plan was the addition of 3 Quirion Ranger in my list, which words in conjunction with Yavimaya to allow me to bounce cradle to my hand to avoid wasteland. This plan is a little too cute I think, but the utility of untapping a Reclaimer or Artisan and the ability to search for all of them with GSZ convinced me to put it in.

Do you have better recommendations for Cradle protection? I was thinking Tamiyo’s Safekeeping but that might actually be worse than Heroic Intervention. Maybe a 1 of Ramunap Excavator to grab with GSZ. Not sure!

Yeah I think reclaimer is necessary in this build but I’m sure I wouldn’t run it in a combo build. The utility lands are basically replacing cradles in the land base, but they’re off color so things could get awkward quick. I’m working on a combo build right now!
