Survival Elves plays a wide array of small creatures (Basking Rootwalla, Wild Mongrel, Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves) tutored up by Survival of the Fittest, making Pyroclasm's 2 damage sweep very effective against most of their early board. Earthquake scales to handle bigger threats like Terravore or Arrogant Wurm later while doubling as reach to the face if their board empties out. Watch for Armageddon, which can blow up both manabases โ our low curve and burn-heavy plan punishes them worse than it punishes us, so keep developing pressure rather than overextending into a sweeper. Mogg Fanatic and Lava Dart are the weakest cards here since 1 damage rarely trades favorably against their creature quality past the first couple turns.
