I’ve been running preposterous proportions as a finisher to keep the deck mono green and it’s surprisingly effective. Only need to connect with 2 creatures once it resolves
Planeswalker Nissa is a pretty good finisher for mono green or green with a small splash, so that's probably the best thing standard has to craterhoof.
Played something like this in the Foundations Only Constructed Event last week; Genesis Wave was my finisher of choice. It's no Craterhoof, but if you get an Archdruid (or two) to stick, there's nothing quite like putting your entire deck onto the battlefield for 30 mana. It's not bad earlier, either! I found that 5 was the turning point; anything before that was awful, but 5 or me gave me 5 guaranteed hits - with a good chance for a Banner of Kinship, which is usually enough to win the game. Maybe not super effective... but damn if it's not some of the most fun I've had in standard in a LONG time.
Mono green elves gives nissa as a finisher but you could probably still splash black if one set of your duals was the surviel lands but elves doesnt really want tapped lands
I've had a lot of success in naya with the splashes being Voja, Break Out and Cunning Coyote. Being able to slap haste on Voja or sometimes Archdruid, and break out to find voja, sure helps. Too often elves just gets picked apart by removal or can't be faster than a sweeper, and turn 3 voja is an ultimatum to your opponent to have an immediate sweeper since he's basically a hexproof threat that will win the game on turn 4.
@@Llanowar_Kitten Yeah but the surveil lands atleast are forest+swamps, with how many elves you can make I feel even a +3 across the board, if you take in cavern of souls and that new mutavault creature land should do it no?
@@Chris_seh tapped lands are tough for a low-to-the-ground agro deck. I think Nissa is probably the best available though. The issue with the deck is that standard decks run 10-16 removal spells, so sticking anything is really difficult. Nissa at least does something on an empty board, whereas literal overrun is just a dead card most games.
i dont understand why crim was able to tap elves for mana the same turn they came down, i thought summoning sickness made it so tap abilities cant be used till next turn?

10:25 “oh nutsack on my forehead,” Crim, truly you are the master wordsmith of our time.
OPPONENT: Draws their opening grip
CRIM: Opponent's bein' weird
"Turns out the only thing they've got is a one way ticket... to the funeral room" hit hard lol
raise the past deck looks sick, but I know in my heart it's bad
you cannot keep calling her glizzy. it's not allowed
That's her name though!
what about glizzy sunslayer?
glissa can lowkey have my glizzy
@ mods get this guy
Who’s gonna stop him he’s gone mad with power

Same it’s surprisingly good

I call her nissahoof made a similar comment
I mean overrun is standard legal now
Came here to make this same comment.
It is, but Ezuri's overrun came on a 2/2 body that could also protect other elves. Just overrun doesn't make elves good.
@ big nissa is probably better overall
I splashed white with three tree and play the cavalier from eldraine for a craterhoof replacement
Cool idea
i feel like Nissa Ascended Animist could work as a "we have craterhoof at home"
Agreed. 2 Tyvar 1 Nissa worked well enough in my build
I second this. Archdruid can get us enough mana to straight up hard play Nissa for 7 and ult.

crim complaining about opponents take too long meanwhile spends 30-60 seconds debating which elf to play.
7:28 what would Jim Davis do? Draw a comic about a fat orange cat.
1:19 I added Moonshaker Cavalry for a finisher and Empath to track it down. Pretty damn sweet!

I hope we get a goblin standard video! ❤
the chiller bit in the intro always bug me I got no chill but I still love Crim.
There is a behemoth look alike in eldraine but in white. I wonder if selesnya elf might be it
Jim Davis would press a button that yells Leroy Jenkins.
Crim playing green?!?
BLASPHEMY
*ALSO first*
Oh pog, I've been trying abit of elves in standard, I think big Nissa would be a good finisher in this
Having black makes the deck a lot better though, and that means duel lands, so fewer Forrest for Nissa’s ultimate.

If you want to "splash" white, you could play the Flying cratorhoof from Eldraine. Otherwise Phyrexian Nissa is probably the way to go
Hey Crim when you go to Mikiya Wagyu house which tier do you prefer?
Its look like a good deck for me, i look for an elven deck before... but why is there 61 Cards?
@8:30 - "the boiler of bilges"
Pretty sure it's the boiler of biggles. Ask Seth, he'll confirm ;)
Lol Crim playing elves. He's trying SOOO hard to have fun.
"i don't know what they have for a finisher" did you forget about overrun?
i dont understand why crim was able to tap elves for mana the same turn they came down, i thought summoning sickness made it so tap abilities cant be used till next turn?
Tyvar the Planeswalker gives abilities haste
Nissa, Ascended Animist should be the finisher.
The elf deck beats the demon deck? Frieren would be proud.
I think I’m officially old as I don’t understand the “touch grass” reference
I believe Jim Davis would have said Leroy Jenkins
Cant keep elf hand without 1 cmc mana dork
Maybe nissa?
Petition to add Heritage druid to arena
In this game Crim if your not first your last
Crim on Elves? Oh God, is this the end?
3:57 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I present as a finisher: Voja, because why make your deck good when you can give people commander ptsd
I'm surprised they put so many really good elves in foundations.
Finally a cool deck in foundations
no
Maybe Nissahoof
This is less annoying the Historic Elf Ball
Always ask “WWJDD?”
Crim playing a green deck? What the hell am I watching? 😂
"Who even plays Duress mainboard?!"
Me playing best of three, lol
Cim playing Elves in Standard? Does this mean Dana is going to be playing Grixis Control? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??
You have Overrun
We want fake card tribal
Voja
God, I hate elves so much.
