So, these commanders look mana hungry as all hell. I put a LOT of my focus to the mana generation element of elves as well as putting multiple bodies into play. I feel like its possible that Miara, Thorn of the Glade and Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel might be a bit interchangeable but I wanted to start out with testing the cheaper of the two. Also, I think more draw is great but having the mana up to draw when my elves die on top of pooring mana into Numa, Joraga Chieftain might be challenging. I figure I should start out by testing things and see what sort of results I get with both before really deciding.
I ended up cutting a lot of the anthem elves because I think ultimately my plan is more to use a large number of elves to generate mana from means of things like Gaea's Cradle / Earthcraft / Priest of Titania and use that mana to pump my elves up via Numa, Joraga Chieftain. Its a touch different but I guess we will see if it works.
Overall, it felt like I had to kind of full commit to elves so my overall interactions aren't much. I primarily stick to elves and things to make mana or draw cards. Its a more proactive approach for sure. When I started this list I started with something like 70+ creatures in the list and had to HEAVILY trim. Its entirely possible I overlooked something super obvious outside of the elves (like grave hate which I have none of).
