Sorry for the delayed upload! See the description for chapters. Read this comment for alterations to the deck. There was a 4-way tie in the poll to choose my next (second) deck tech video so be prepared for a tournament arc in my shorts sometime next week to decide the winner! Cavern of Souls / Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - can be replaced with forests, while they certainly help optimize the deck, unless you are truly paranoid about counters you don't need Caverns and Yavimaya only has so much benefit unless you are leaning in on Forestwalk Tooth and Nail / Collected Company - You could potentially take out one for a Fauna shaman, it was just reprinted in Brothers war and will do at least part of the effect, getting you the creature you need when you need it. Also gives another body. Commander's Plate - I do really like this card for the deck as protection for Ezuri, but Swiftfoot boots will do similar protecting from many instants/sorceries, it just won't help you swing in and doesn't affect things like Blasphemous Act. Sylvan Library - Harmonize is likely the best bet here, it gets you card draw but not on an every-turn basis. Defense of The Heart - I didn't even know this card had gone up so much until I was making the video! It was $5 when I put it in originally (just after the Mystery Booster Reprint). I would likely look at something to buff your creatures, like a Gaea's Anthem as this card doesn't have a great direct analog. Concordant Crossroads - With all the recent reprints I can't recommend taking this out, its a killer way to end the game and it's currently at an all-time low due to 2 recent reprintings. If you have to Thousand-Year Elixir is probably your best bet. Allosaurus Shepherd - This is primarily in the deck to make elves uncounterable, so something like Destiny Spinner could work. You would lose an elf. Elvish Champion / Eladamri, Lord of Leaves - I have these 2 in the deck specifically to give creatures forestwalk to go with Yavimaya, if you take out Yavimaya then you can leave these 2 out as well. Fill in with one of your favorite elves! 2/26/2024 Adding that I now have my decks up on Moxfield, if you want to look at an updated version of this deck or at any of my other decks you can go to www.moxfield.com/users/DMC222
i recently converted my upgraded lathrill precon to a mono green enzuri deck with most of the money cards you showed in this video and it slaps. I didnt realize how many infinite mana combos there are though!
Right?? If an elf has a mana ability it can likely go infinite. It's kinda dumb. Glad to hear you you're enjoying him as a commander, he's always been one of my favs.
This was helpful because I built my Ezuri deck a few years ago and now want to update it with some of the new elves from the last 2-3 years. Regarding Eladamri I am not sure because in this deck you want to target your own elves all the time with different effects and he prevents that.
Glad to be helpful! regarding Eladamri, he's a card you drop when you go to make a push. He gives other elves (not himself) shroud so you can use Ezuri to regenerate him, and the overrun effects from Ezuri don't target so you still get the buffs. You definitely don't want to just drop him casually though, just like Concordant Crossroads. Only when you're ready to make that final push.

Decklist?
Unfortunately, I don't have a decklist up anywhere other than in this video, but I will look into that for the future!
@@CasualEDH no worries! Thanks for the reply.
