Budget Modern: Black Green Elves



I had this built a while back and it was cute. It's not going to win a SCG Open but would fair well at an FNM level event. It's even fine for casual play.

How to play this deck:
1. Play the mana elves
2. Play some more
3. Ezuri/Shaman of the Pack to win

It's not complicated.You play a whole bunch of elves and overwhelm your opponent. Heritage Druid and Nettle Sentinel work together. Clancaller and Archdruid pump the team. Ezuri makes the team bigger and trample. Shaman finishes the game if Ezuri didn't.

4 Llanowar Elves
4 Heritage Druid
4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Dwynen Elite
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Elvish Clancaller
4 Elvish Archdruid
4 Shaman of the Pack
4 Reclamation Sage
2 Ezuri, Renegade Leader

4 Lead the Stampede

4 Llanowar Wastes
4 Blooming Marsh
10 Forest

New banlist leaks are probably fake

The leaked image says the new bans are

Pauper:
Mystic Sanctuary

Modern:
Arcum's Astrolabe
Boggart Harbinger

Pioneer:
Thassa's Oracle
Dig Through Time

Historic:
Burning-Tree Emissary

I don't believe this. Not being incredulous. I mean, I think it's fake. Pauper banned Mystic Sanctuary instead of Ghostly Flicker is just wrong. The only things that make a real amount of sense are Astrolabe, Oracle, and Dig. Sure, Harbinger is in a new combo deck but we still have Kiki-Resto/Exarch/Pestermite. There are even rumors Splinter Twin itself is being unbanned which is backed by the fact that Twin doubled in price recently.
