good elf cards mtg Best Standard Elves staple cards- July 2026 • MTG DECKS To Thine Own Elf Be

Dropping Svella on turn three allows you to start creating tokens early, getting you closer to activating Svellas second ability

Assuming the mechanic works similarly with other cards in the set, one ability will add brick counters to the artifact while another will only activate once the artifact is built

The Regrowth side is highly desirable for any deck and paying one extra is totally worth it

We could also just jam everything together and play Naya, but I'll warn you the deck is going to be a lot more expensive, since we'd need the fetch-for-shock mana base to be able to cast our stuff on time (we pretty much can't have any enters-the-battlefield-tapped lands if we want our deck to work)
