		<description><![CDATA[I believe Bry is saying that Elves sacrifices creature quality found in non-Elf creatures to get a few cards that key off of the Elf creature type. (As opposed to playing a G/x aggro deck, where each card has to stand on its own.) I think elves has merits in: the fact that it has a very low mana curve, and the ability to have extremely explosive draws if you draw a certain number of elves and one of the global pumps.

I like Natural Order also, but I feel like there has to be a better creature than Progenitus as a singular threat when Natural Order needs to be able to mount a comeback from a precarious situation. I will ponder some about it. Maybe Elves would be a good DeckTech. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not doubting the utility of Natural Order, as it seems like a great tutor for the deck. It’s Progenitus that’s questionable. Beyond the sole discard outlet in Llanowar Mentor, there is no way to get Progenitus out of your hand and back into your deck.

Additionally, I don’t think Regal Force may really be the answer, either. Perhaps I’m being a bit too narrow-minded, but isn’t the point of playing Elves to abuse the inherit synergy and interaction between actual elves? Granted, not every card should or will be “elf,” but clearly this desperate inclusion of a combo is either 1.) unnecessary, or 2.) an indication that the deck is lacking altogether.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The stuffy doll combo was pretty bad. I was just messing with it that weekend to see if having half a combo be a dude made it that much easier to find them.

So progen usually steals away games that I am unlikely to win otherwise. Two of the games were really good draws of rdw. 3rd turn progen raced him, I doubt anything else would have. I guess vigor would have eaten 6 points for me but he still almost raced me through progen. The other games were ones with them having lots of targeted removal eating my guys, then going 1 mana elf, sac it to order before he can kill it then winning. Really, he’s only been answered twice in all the times I’ve pulled him out, and I eventually blew up the moat and killed him one of those games.

The main reason I like NO over overrun is that overrun is really only useful when I’ve already got a decent amount of guys out. Natural Order is still really good even if I’ve only got 1.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To Bry:

And the Guilty Conscience/Stuffy doll combo? This seems even more unrealistic and vulnerable to disruption/removal, no?

Again, Elves is a near combo itself. How is this relevant?]]></description>
