Hello once again! It’s been a while since I’ve posted for this segment and today I’ll present to you my list(a budgeted one, sort of) for Mono Green Elves that is becoming popular in Standard.

Main (38)

2 Boreal Druid ($0.09 each x 2 = $0.18)
4 Llanowar Elves ($0.70 each x 4 = $2.80)
2 Essence Warden ($0.22 each x 2 = $0.44)
3 Heritage Druid ($0.24 each x 3 = $0.72)
4 Wren's Run Vanquisher ($1.18 each x 4 = $4.72)

4 Treetop Village ($3.34 each x 4 = $13.36)
16 Forest ($0.07 each x 16 = $1.12)

Main deck total cost = $39.96 (or approx. 1,598.4 php)

*Card prices are based on Cardshark.com

For the sideboard, I’ve created a list that is based on the current meta and decks that are popular today. Here it is:

Sideboard (15)

3 Cloudthresher ($0.95 each x 3 = $2.85) - vs variations of Faeries as they love to play EOT. This is a support for your Jagged-Scar Archers maindeck.

3 Wrap in Vigor ($0.05 each x 3 = $0.15) – against massive damage like Pyroclasm, Sulfurous Blast, etc. and can also be good for combat tricks.

3 Elvish Champion ($5.12 each x 3 = $15.36) – vs other decks with Forests as you will Forestwalk FTW.

3 Krosan Grip ($0.46 each x 3 = $1.38) – vs decks that utilizes enchantments like Teferi’s Moat, Story Circle, etc.

3 Luminescent Rain ($0.05 each x 3 = $0.15) – in addition to the 2 Essence Warden maindeck, this card is sideboarded vs Dragonstorm and variations of burn and sligh decks.

So there you have it. It’s not so budgeted but I’m sure it will perform well in tournaments. Till next time peeps… ;-)
