Straw Elves
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.
Who They Are
Long before gunslingers and goblins, the Straw Elves guarded the Wild Frontier. They are the land itself given form — spirits of root and vine who wear scarecrow bodies as armor against the modern age.
They are patient, and they are enduring. When the dust settles and every gunslinger has emptied their chamber, the Straw Elves will still be standing — board intact, key threats untouchable, and an opponent out of answers.
Playstyle Overview
Straw Elves reward patience. Their early game is defensive, but their top-end is stacked with threats opponents cannot target, remove, or efficiently trade into.
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.
Huskstorm Prophet restores HP mid-game, making it nearly impossible for aggro decks to close before the Straw Elf endgame arrives.
Harvest Guardian drops two tokens at once. Combined with sturdy defenders, Straw Elves stall the board until their bombs land.
Harvest Moon Effigy heals on death, meaning even removing it gives value back. The faction punishes aggression at every angle.
