Sadly, there aren't any great mana dorks in Standard-there's no Llanowar Elves or Elvish Mystic-so we have to make do with some pretty janky mana-producing Elves. $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00įor our plan to work, we need to be able to make as much mana as possible as quickly as possible, which helps us cast Nissa, Ascended Animist and gives us the mana to draw a ton of cards with Leaf-Crowned Visionary.
Giving our team +1/+1 is nice, but Leaf-Crowned Visionary's true power is the ability to draw a card every time we play an Elf, which gives us the fuel to flood the board with cheap creatures (to make sure that Nissa's ultimate is lethal, which usually requires four or five creatures on the battlefield) and helps us find Nissa. One is Nissa, and the other is Leaf-Crowned Visionary.
In reality, our deck only has two cards that actually matter. So, why is our deck full of Elves rather than just generic green cards? The answer is that the tribe has an amazing lord in Leaf-Crowned Visionary.
So, even when Nissa isn't immediately game-winning, it's still one of the best cards in our deck! The Elves While its ceiling is winning the game Craterhoof Behemoth style, even if it can't immediately win the game, the tokens it makes are huge, and blowing up artifacts and enchantments is super relevant in current Standard. That said, one of the upsides of Nissa is that it's almost never bad. While we do occasionally play Nissa for Phyrexian mana sometimes as early as Turn 3 just to start making tokens or to blow up a Fable of the Mirror-Breaker or Reckoner Bankbuster, our primary plan is to get up to seven mana so we can play Nissa for full price and ultimate it on the turn it comes into play to win the game on the spot with one massive attack. In all honesty, the Elves we have in Standard mostly aren't great (more on this in a minute), but thankfully, they don't need to be great because Nissa, Ascended Animist can turn a group of underpowered creatures into super-strong finishers with its ultimate. Nissa is the entire reason why today's deck exists. The goal is to play as many mana-producing Elves as possible, ramp into Nissa, Ascended Animist-our Craterhoof Behemoth-as quickly as possible, and win the game with Nissa's ultimate turning all of our janky mana dorks into huge, trampling threats! The Finisher Mono-Green Elfball is a tribal aggro deck basically looking to recreate the style of Elf deck you'll find in Modern or Legacy but with the cards legal in Standard.
