Archetypes

GU Elves / LandfallGU Elves / Landfall — SimicElf ramp-tempo deck using Landfall triggers. Extra land drops and land recursion snowball incremental advantages into oversized threats and card flow.How it plays: Extra-land effects are the engine: value them above replacement-level creatures. Hold fetch-style lands to trigger Landfall at the best moment. Can pivot between aggro tempo and ramp endgame.

Gameplay notes

The three-color cost is the real price — he needs fixing. The discard from his draw trigger loads more Elves into the graveyard for his first ability.
