Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
...My first instinct was to build an Ashling's
Prerogative deck aiming to choose "even." A deck full of two-drops and
four-drops would seem to lead inevitably to a very awkward mana curve,
but Call of the Herd is a prime example of a card that can make this
deck work. It costs an "odd" amount of mana but produces creatures with
an "even" converted mana cost. Other cards that fall into this category
are morph creatures like Thelonite Hermit and Gathan Raiders. Played
face down for three mana, they are considered by the game to have a
converted mana cost of zero. You could also use your three-drop for
cards like Gaea's Anthem or creatures that perform a similar function
(like Imperious Perfect). The Perfect has the added advantage of pumping
out hasty 2/2s if you have Ashling's Prerogative in play. Assault //
Battery is another nice curve-smoother, either a four-mana Elephant or a
one-mana burn spell.
It's been a while since I've built an Elf deck (at
least three weeks), so I figured I'd take the opportunity to do so now.
It just so happens that many of my favourite Elves in Standard cost two
or four (Wren's Run Vanquisher, Leaf Gilder, Masked Admirers, and Wren's
Run Packmaster) or produce token creatures (Imperious Perfect, Thelonite
Hermit, the Packmaster again). Sheltering Ancient and Stampeding
Wildebeests are undercosted fatties that have some synergy with each
other. The Wildebeests work well with the Hermits (more tokens!) and the
Admirers (more cards!), plus they are great with hasty Briarhorns and
Cloudthreshers.
