Faction Guide

Straw Elves

Scarecrow Shamans of the Wilds

Straw Elf decks are patient, eerie, and inevitable. They stall with Cover Tokens, heal through aggression, and deploy untargetable Wanted threats that opponents simply cannot remove. The longer the game goes, the scarier the scarecrows become.

Playstyle Overview

Straw Elves reward patience. Their early game is defensive, but their top-end is stacked with threats that opponents cannot target, remove, or efficiently trade into.

Untargetable Threats

Four rare Wanted creatures that cannot be affected by any effects. Opponents must deal with them in combat only -- and the stat lines are brutal.

Healing Sustain

Huskstorm Prophet restores HP mid-game, making it nearly impossible for aggro decks to close before the Straw Elf endgame arrives.

Cover Token Walls

Harvest Guardian drops two tokens at once. Combined with sturdy defenders, Straw Elves stall the board until their bombs land.

Last Stand Insurance

Harvest Moon Effigy heals on death, meaning even removing it gives value back. The faction punishes aggression at every angle.

Signature Keywords

Pairs well with Humans for lane discipline and steady card draw, or with Beasts for flexible mid-game creatures.

Wanted

Cannot be targeted by any effects. Straw Elves have the highest density of Wanted creatures in the game.

Overshot

Straw Titaness at 6/6 with Overshot is one of the hardest-hitting cards in the format.

Cover Tokens

Generate blocking tokens. Harvest Guardian creates defensive walls that buy time for the late game.

Flying

Barnroof Ranger bypasses Cover Tokens, providing aerial pressure from an otherwise defensive faction.

Double Barrel

Grain Reaper attacks twice, giving Straw Elves unexpected burst damage from a midrange shell.

Last Stand

Trigger effects when a creature dies. Harvest Moon Effigy heals 3 HP on death -- value even in defeat.
