I was looking to spread back into other colors after a lot of black, blue, and red lately. While I started with a non-elf, once I went looking for good supports, the elves took over. This has overlap of more than 20 cards with a couple of other decks, but only one that has played (Will Farrell, 5-5), and even that one never against a Dave-designed deck. It is also one of my less expensive and most direct elf decks. The 23/4/7/5/1 curve averages a paltry 1.93. The name was a joke riffing off of "Elf Crush" and referring, of course, to the Hobbit film trilogy (and one of its more annoying additions to the canon).
