We would love more volunteers to help us with our Magic the Gathering Card of the Day reviews. Limited: 4 (can end games, but you need a board state to make him work) He sees play in Legacy Elves as a prime target for Natural Order (and sparing amounts of Modern Play in Elf decks), and he’s a Commander staple for obvious reasons.

You only will usually get one chance to end the game with Craterhoof Behemoth, but that can be all you need, and decks that go wide love this as a way to lock things down. Even a merely decent board state represents a lot of added power when this resolves, and it’s in the color with the fewest problems in getting out creatures that qualify as “absolute units”. But I was just wanted to hear from other liked mind players.While that body might look innocuous, Craterhoof Behemoth is one of the ways you can try to say “this game ends now” in a creature-based deck. Playing another Ezuri seems strictly better. I can totally see myself drawing into an unplayable craterhoof and being annoyed at myself for it down the line. But combo decks just get worse in games 2 and 3. I noticed the vulnerabilities of the deck almost immediately, but I think it definitely has the tools to win out of the board. Sometimes even moreso than some of the other decks I’ve played in modern.

Although I find myself winning pretty consistently. Shaman of the Pack is the reason why I built the deck to begin with and always wanted to. I imagine he’s probably better in the Vizier G/W version for the obvious infinite mana availability. However, I still couldn’t resist my urges to play Craterjoof and I ordered one anyway. Even if he’s resolved, it doesn’t guarantee a win. I’m playing a full set of Sentinels for ramp power and have cut Clancaller all together (or is Visionary the right cut?) I felt like Sentinel or an extra Ezuri is probably a little more efficient than plowing through the battlefield. I imagine the reason why craterhoof isn’t played is for a more consistent game plan because even in elves, 8 mana still feels like a steep task in some matches. I may be new to Elves, but I’m certainly not new to Magic. It took years of playing for me to finally do it it - But I’ve hopped on the elf bandwagon - and just as i suspected: I love it.
