Legacy Magic — Merfolk vs. Elves
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 09/07/2017

Here, my good friend Dylan discovers that Elves is actually one of the harder decks to optimize in the whole game. Please forgive him for his suboptimal plays, as this is literally his first match with a Legacy Elf deck.

As for me, well, the lack of Islands means that he can clog up the ground more readily, especially thanks to Wirewood Symbiote's "fog" on one of my creatures every turn. This can give him enough time to stall until he can have an explosive combo turn. That said, I do have Force of Will and Daze to fight Natural Order and, if I'm desperate enough, Glimpse of Nature. The former is a two-for-two, and the latter can be a two-for-twenty if the time was just right…

While I don't have the Merfolk list, it is pretty stock. That said, here's the Elves list for you all:
