Sylvan Anthem is a must-have for Galadriel IMO. Once you get Rampaging Baloths or Scute Swarm into play, you can potentially just keep going and going and get all your lands into play if you choose to. I thought Galadriel looked really interesting to play and once I built her deck and started playing with her the amount of value you get out of every action is insane.
Damn good tech. Been tinkering with the idea of a deck like this. You gave me great ideas on using some cards that I already own, instead of going for a completely new setup.
I count 4 counterspells and a total of 3 removal including Cyclonic Rift. That seems a litt low. The deck will be able to scry a lot, but seems very contingent on keeping your commander alive. What's the plan if she gets removed? I'd also consider cutting some of the scry pieces for stuff like Amulet of Vigor, Spelunking. Maybe Wilderness reclaimation or Seedborn Muse to make up for the tapped lands. Swap some of the sorceries or enchantments for more instant speed removal.
I think 4 counterspells is a decent amount. Unless your commander gets removed immediately, which is unlikely, the ramp generated from the scrying can easily pay for the commander tax. For sure though the list can be tuned to suit different playgroups and styles!
Solid analysis of the deck, but after watching I'm finding myself in the same situation as with trying to set up the deck using Arwen Undomiel and Elrond, Master of Healling: Either not enough Scrying to trigger the deck, or not enough non-Scrying non-creature spell to be able to survive. Yes, you can play a lot of cool stuff by ramping, but if you can't counter a spell, destroy a problem enchantment, or bounce creatures once and a while you'll also lose. If you want to nest all the scrying in the creature base, it's going to be things like 3/3 for 3U with a Scry 2 on enter and no other text, but you'll have plenty of room for support effects. I think the best version of Galadriel is probably to completely ignore all the other Elves from the LotR sets and instead just run 30+ support cards that all Scry. Then, play big and scary Simic Good Stuff to fill out the creature curve. It's a bit of a letdown for fans of the set and its art, but it's likely the most effective version.

Oh true I had it in there but forgot why I didn't end up playing it. It's great yeah!

Glad to hear I helped! Good luck with the deck!

Yeah, this is something that I find happens a lot when I play themed decks. You do eventually need to run some goodstuff cards to be able to finish!
I used your advice and yesterday I scried so much and took so long I made one of my opponents cry
This is the way
@@commandpower1987This is the way
What about Eyes of the Watcher?
Coups be solid, we are running a few instants and sorceries and the land we get from scrying would help pay for the effect
Elven chorus goes hard in this deck. It’s my favorite deck of this year.
Elven Chrorus is a crazy strong card!
scouting trek
Ooh I can see that being really good here. Normally it would be card disadvantage buy that gets offset by all the ramp!
With Retreat to Coralhelm, it puts all your basics into play
Yeah that's super sick
You should put Long-term Plans in this deck for basically a tutor.
That would be a good addition!
So does the ring tempt you every turn?
No. We aren't really playing a ring tempting deck
What happened to thrasios Triton hero
True he would be good in this!
@@commandpower1987 I put this in the deck he is commander for
Yeah that makes a lot of sense!
Amei demais
She is bae
Where is the U/G Elrond
I thought I talked about him. Did I forget?
the possibilites are infite with this card
Yeah it's truly strong!
How is.the 1st ability useful? There are no cards that make the ring tempt you in this deck
The first ability is flavor text🤣
@@commandpower1987 ok hahaha
