Two very rough Elementals lists for Block
Posted On 04/28/2008 22:07:23 by aceben3 - Read 429 time(s)
Control-style:
4 Flamekin Harbinger
4 Smokebraider
4 Incandescent Soulstoke
3 Supreme Exemplar
4 Mulldrifter
3 Reveillark
4 Shriekmaw
1 Cloudthresher
1 Wispmare
1 Spitebellows

4 Nameless Inversion
4 Makeshift Mannequin

4 Primal Beyond
4 Reflecting Pool
2 Graven Cairns
3 Vivid Crag
1 Vivid Moor
1 Vivid Creek
6 Mountain
2 Swamp

Sideboard
1 Wispmare
1 Ingot Chewer (?)
3 Spitebellows
3 Final Revels
1 Reveillark
1 Eyes of the Wisent
2 Cloudthresher
3 Thoughtseize/whatever



...and a more aggressive one:
4 Flamekin Harbinger
4 Flamekin Bladewhirl
4 Sickle Ripper
4 Smokebraider
4 Incandescent Soulstoke
4 Ashenmoor Gouger
2 Spitebellows (kills Doran, CC)

4 Lash Out
4 Flame Javelin (hard to play for RRR but probably fine for 2RR)
3 Shard Volley

4 Graven Cairns
4 Mutavault
4 Primal Beyond
7 Mountain
4 Swamp

SB:
4 Fulminator Mage
3 Thoughtseize
2 Wispmare
4 Reveillark
2 Spitebellows

These are completely untested but they seem pretty powerful.  Not sure if the aggro version would benefit from Mulldrifter, or if the control build is just better.  Some bastardization of the two may be best.  There really isn't a metagame to shoot for yet, but I thought these looked powerful and I haven't seen much like them yet.  Gouger in particular is pretty hard to deal with so he may find his way into the control build.

yes, primal beyond or vivid land (even with no counters)+reflecting pool=any color mana, can be spent on anything.  i've been working on a better control build with no exemplars, soulstokes, or reveillarks with 3 cloudthreshers and 3-4 chameleon colossus.  i'm also playing 4 fertile grounds which makes the manabase fine.  i'm also playing 4 spitebellows and 2 profane commands which are NUTS.

I haven't tried black in the Elemental Control deck, so far i'm playing WUR with Turn to Mist. I think 4x Reveillark is a must! and Sunflare Shaman Win games! (Well i do play 35 elemental creatures...)

I play 1 Supreme Exemplar and 1 Super Nova (that's how i call it) =) and since i don't play black, i use Nevermaker which is quite insane in some situation...

 

I'd love to play Shriekmaw put i can't recur him via Reveillark, Mannequin is great but i'm afraid of having a fourth color, and i already love Turn to Mist for only 2cc.

I'm wondering how does Reflecting Pool work with Primal Beyond and such...?  Can you add any color to your mana pool with a reflecting pool and a Primal Beyind in play?

I think Cloudthresher is better in almost every case.  Plus, I think you have too many X/1's for Festercreep.

Festercreep should be considered for beating Fearies...
