Now here's how this all works. Basically this
deck works on elves working off of each other's power. First of all, there
are four Wellwishers to ensure you keep a steady flow of life. There are
two Wirewood Hivemasters to create lots of insects for either cannon fodder or
to load into your own Doom cannon, but I prefer launching my elves with the Doom
cannon, the reason being is because the four Reminisce's will be able to shuffle
whatever elves you sacrifice back into your library so you can bring them out
for even more insects. Use the Quirion elves for white (for the spells
Test of Endurance, Allay, and Diversionary Tactics). The 4 enchantments in
this deck are very powerful when used correctly:
Intruder Alarm: Since your opponents creatures
won't untap after their first attack, your wirewood lodges can untap your elves
for you and you can ping him for some time. If he brings in a creature to
untap his own, remember that it untaps your elves as well and you can tap them
immediately for extra life or to powerup the other elves (Timberwatch
Elf). Your Urborg elves are your best bet for blue, although you can also
use Quirion Elves, Wirewood Channelers, or Birchlore Ranger's special
ability.
This is an especially powerful enchantment if you
have your voice of the woods out. Tap 5 elves, 7/7 green elemental with
trample comes into play untapping the 5 elves, Tap the same 5 elves...
With a couple wellwishers and wirewood channelers besides the 5 elves, it's an
infinite life, infinite mana, and infinite 7/7 green elementals.
Test of Endurance: A must have card when you
play with wellwishers. You can use either the Quirion Elves, Wirewood
Channelers, or Birchlore Ranger's special ability (tap two elves for any color
mana) for the white casting cost.
Diversionary Tactics: With lots of creatures, why
not?
Quicksilver Dagger: Good ping card if your
opponent plays things like blinding angels. You can take the damage since
you have wellwishers and then you can ping them or launch creatures at them to
do damage.
The only card that I might like to add is a
fireball. Here's the combo: There are 26 elves. I tap my two
wirewood channelers for red, giving me 26 mana per or 52 mana overall.
Then, you use the seekers of skybreakers to untap them and you can tap the
channelers 4 more times, giving a total of 156, but wait! There's more.
Use the 3 wirewood lodges to untap them again 3 more times for a total of 234,
then tap your 17 forests left over for 251 mana, doing 250 damage to target
opponent. This, mind you, doesn't include the infinite mana combo shown
above, of course mounting to infinite damage.
I didn't think this deck was too bad.
