Justin Tougas [xxxdescending_angelxxx@hotmail.com] Subject: powerhousing with elves With the latest expansion Scourge, many elves, or elf mutants, have been released that could easily mow down the competition. Two words, Skyshroud Poachers (pay 3. Search library for an elf card and put it into play). With this rebel, you can bring a 6/6 Wirewood Gaurdian or a 4/5 Elvish Abberation that taps for 3 green mana into play for 3 colorless mana. Or another fun combo is using the poachers to get a Fierce Empath (when fierce Empath comes into play, search library for a creature card with converted mana cost 6 or more and put it in your hand) on the field. Then search you deck for a 13/13 Krosan Cloudscraper or a 6/5 Root Elemental(Morph for 5GG: When Root Elemental is turned face up, put a creature card with converted mana cost 6 or more into play) and put it in your hand. I advise the Elemental first so you can put it into play facedown and make use of its morph ability. Then on your next turn do the same thing with another Fierce Empath but this time get the cloudscraper. Then morph the Elemental and you get to put in a Cloudscraper for free. It doesnt hurt to have a Kurgadon (Whenever you play a creature spell with converted mana cost 6 or more, put 3 +1/+1 on Kurgadon) in play before you do this though. Throw in a few Krosan Drovers (Creature spells you play with converted mana cost 6 or more cost 2 less to play). And Wirewood Hivemasters (When another non token elf comes into play, put a 1/1 green creature token into play) and you can outnumber your opponents. Add one Stag Beetle (Stag Beetle comes into play with X +1/+1 counters on it where X is the number of other creatures in play) and you got another power house. Or you can take the short cut and use Epic Struggle (At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control 20 or more creatures you win the game). Throw in Coat of Arms and Cryptic Gateway and you got an award winning strategy. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
