Elf deck are too powerful, too strong

[3vilP]

Am I the only one with oppinion that the elf decks are too strong and too stacked. Maybe there were too many elf cards in boosters or something, but this thing is not balanced well...

I can play against almost every combination or archetype, but when I see an elf deck, if it is not a beggine player, i'm screwed :)

Sad thing is that the people realize that, and in my last 5 games, four of them were against very strong and very playable elf deck... and they all beat me to dust :)

Radiant Flames: gg early elves 3 or lower
Languish: bye bye elves with 4 toughness or lower
Planar Outburst: gg all elves.

As you can see control/board wipe is your friend against them. That said, I am not changing the fact that they are powerful, of course they are. But the elf cards we have here so far, compared with previous editions are just... ridiculous: they are decent to make a solid elf deck but we are lacking too too many powerful elf cards. So you should feel lucky :P

i hated elf deck when i had less cards in stock... now that i have all of them, both origins and zendikar, elf deck is the last of my problems... it has a good sinergy but it is too slow, needs many turns to play some decent elfs and a planar outburst, or a languish , or a radiant flames is enough to bring you to leave the game

Elves were good before BFZ. Now they're...better than allies I guess?

Destroy elves when they are put onto game, that's the way to stop the afterkilling. Not really so strong (elf decks are strong, of course, that's why they are elf decks) when low cards in hand or not enough lands or elves in the game.

Boros Deck Wins slaughters them every time. I has since the first week of the game's release.

I miss Joraga Warcaller + Inmaculate Magistrate combo so much :´(

Elf decks arent s powerfull... I love elf decks, but as many other decks. There are pretty nice ideas there, and elfs aren't close to be one of the top 5 decks for sure

[Ass Kicker ? ..I..]

Elves in this are sooooo slow. Even some of the aggro decks beat them easy...
