4 Priest of Titania
4 Sylvan Messenger
4 Wirewood Symbiote
Spells:
4 Survival of the Fittest
4 Staff of Domination

This deck is in an elf combo deck.
Priest or Roffoloes + Staff of domination(when one of those creatures makes 5 mana endless mana, endless draw, endeless life, endless tap or untap creature Wink

. Theres not allot to say about this i saw it already here on the site some time ago.

Elves+ Survival is a bit trickier but not less effective, put anger in grave get priest of titatnia, play priest, get sylvan messenger, play sylvan messenger, you normally get 1-3 creatures. Depending on mana titania produces there are different ways to go on. Maybe get another titania for more mana, then get wirewood symbiote untap titania return sylvan..... Play as soon you have enough mana one or two wirewood hivemaster. Later your elvish champion attack gG.

Without one of those 8 combo cards just play the deck its also an weenie but its not the strongest one. If you get a simbiot and a Messenger it becomes ways stronger(dont forget to return also in enemys turn so you play messegner 2 times each round), with hivemaster its also ok. But normally you draw quick one combo if you dont have it on hand.

I didnt played it very long but it did good. Maybe some ideas about single matchups, i think vs Humilty i could gain some problems. I also dunno if i should play defense grid. Until know i have no sideboard.

My stats till know:

2:0 Threshold
I knew he countered alot of cards but finally i get the combo out with 6 lifes(i had staff of domination earlier out so i could tap his creatures i had the board but the combo didnt go of)

Second game he sided meddling mage and played him second round naming staff of domination, i played second round survival of the fittest, in third round i didnt had enough mana to go completely of. In fourth round he gave up.

1:1 Vs Ichorid deck
First game i lost he killed me 1 turn before my combo would go of.
Second game i won by comboing in third round.(survival) then he left.

Vs random aggro/zoo decks
I usally can get survial combo easie out. i just wait to play priest at the right time when survival is out and anger in grave cause he will normally kill priest anyway dunno the stats. But i won most of them.
What do you think? Tell me some ideas about it, i saw vs the threshold deck that i had luck to gain my survival//staff out maybe some things vs counter decks and what to do vs humility maybe something for main. Thx to all c ya

Sry for my bad english

"Badest" is not a word, the correct grammar would be "worse".

You need a way to get Survival / Staff fast, I recommend Intuition and Stroke of Genius (Intuition gets the card u need, and Stroke just makes u draw an insane amount of card considering u can produce alot of mana).

Also, once your combo goes off... u can draw Stroke of Genius and deck your opponent, if he counters it or plays misdirection, u can respond and just draw more cards with staff until u get another stroke.
