<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jubilation"></div></div>
<p><i>Dance of the Elements </i>provides a full cycle of Elemental Incarnations, one for each color. A callback to the first go-round in <em>Lorwyn, </em>where we were introduced to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vigor|LRW|240" href="#" target="_blank">Vigor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and friends. Of course, that callback was a callback of its own: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Brawn|JUD|107" href="#" target="_blank">Brawn</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and others were first seen in <em>Judgment, </em>though that cycle weren't also Elementals like their successors.</p>
<p>This time, the cycle's picked up encore, a built-for-Commander ability that asks for a hefty mana cost to get a one-time rebuy of the creature with extra copies, one for each opponent. Normally, that'd be three token copies, which means three triggers for the creature's enters-the-battlefield ability. And that's how we judge the cycle in <em>Dance of the Elements. </em></p>
<p>For <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jubilation" href="#" target="_blank">Jubilation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, that equates to each creature gaining upwards of +6/+6 and trample (well, three tramples, technically) - if that doesn't end the game, you're probably not in a great spot. But for nine mana, you're likely hoping it'll be enough to revel in the jubilation of victory.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Impulsivity" href="#" target="_blank">Impulsivity</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Impulsivity"></div></div>
<p>Our red Elemental Incarnation features an ability all-too-common on red cards today in a reuse of an instant or sorcery in the graveyard. Of course, you're hoping to pay nine mana to get three free spells, which, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jubilation" href="#" target="_blank">Jubilation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, should end the game, provided you're able to set it up reliably.</p>
<p>It's comparable to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Finale of Promise" href="#" target="_blank">Finale of Promise</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> or <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mizzix&#039;s Mastery" href="#" target="_blank">Mizzix&#039;s Mastery</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but the 21 power it comes with, albeit temporarily, is nothing to sneeze at.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lamentation" href="#" target="_blank">Lamentation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lamentation"></div></div>
<p>This time we're paying eight mana for encore, but this turtle-crab-porcupine hybrid isn't necessarily breaking the game like the previous two Incarnations. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lamentation" href="#" target="_blank">Lamentation</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> instead just nukes three creatures belonging to opponents, and it's worth noting that all three creatures can belong to a single opponent if needed.</p>
<p>Along with that comes nine life, though that's just gravy.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Belonging" href="#" target="_blank">Belonging</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Belonging"></div></div>
<p>Our white Incarnation is probably the most interesting of the bunch. When encore'd for eight mana, the board benefits from a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Belonging" href="#" target="_blank">Belonging</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> boon of nine 1/1 changelings, which will likely be a massive swing in all manner of typal decks, where 1/1s are rarely just 1/1s.</p>
<p>That said, there'll also be plenty of interest for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Belonging" href="#" target="_blank">Belonging</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> among <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/reanimator" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reanimator</a> and <a href="http://edhrec.com/tags/aristocrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aristocrats</a> players as a way to refuel their sacrifice fodder.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Subterfuge" href="#" target="_blank">Subterfuge</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Subterfuge"></div></div>
<p>The last of the five Incarnations is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Subterfuge" href="#" target="_blank">Subterfuge</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and the dolphin-butterfly-eagle impacts the board in a distinctly <em>blue </em>way. For the encore cost of nine, three of your creatures (which can just be the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Subterfuge" href="#" target="_blank">Subterfuge</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> tokens themselves in a pinch) take to the skies to be flying <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cold-Eyed Selkie" href="#" target="_blank">Cold-Eyed Selkie</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>s.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Subterfuge" href="#" target="_blank">Subterfuge</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is the least game-impacting of the bunch, as even if the encore ability allows the player to draw a dozen cards or more, it still cost nine mana and a successful combat step to do so.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Elemental Spectacle" href="#" target="_blank">Elemental Spectacle</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Elemental Spectacle"></div></div>
<p>The first appearance of <em>vivid </em>comes on a six-mana green sorcery. With <em>vivid, </em>the card's effect scales with the number of colors among permanents the caster controls and comes in a variety of forms throughout <em>Lorwyn Eclipsed. </em></p>
<p>In the case of Elemental Spectacle, that form is up to five 5/5 red and green Elemental creature tokens, plus a one-time bonus of lifegain. Six mana for five 5/5 Elementals is a great deal (especially in a deck that cares about that creature type), but it's entirely possible to draw this with only a few colors in play.</p>
<p>There are only five black-aligned permanents in this entire list, after all.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Springleaf Parade" href="#" target="_blank">Springleaf Parade</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Springleaf Parade"></div></div>
<p>Color-fixing for a five-color deck is always welcome, especially when it comes with a pocketful of creature tokens relevant to any typal deck. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Springleaf Parade" href="#" target="_blank">Springleaf Parade</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will make appearances in many green/x typal decks beyond <em>Dance of the Elements </em>outside maybe Elves.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rain-Slicked Copse" href="#" target="_blank">Rain-Slicked Copse</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rain-Slicked Copse"></div></div>
<p>The first of three new lands is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rain-Slicked Copse" href="#" target="_blank">Rain-Slicked Copse</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, a continuation of the "bicycle" lands that began in <em>Amonkhet </em>with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sheltered Thicket" href="#" target="_blank">Sheltered Thicket</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and friends. With basic land types, it's fetchable.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sodden Verdure" href="#" target="_blank">Sodden Verdure</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sodden Verdure"></div></div>
<p>Another enemy-colored, basic land-typed continuation of an old land cycle, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sodden Verdure" href="#" target="_blank">Sodden Verdure</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>'s the newest entry into the "<span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Prairie Stream" href="#" target="_blank">battle</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>" lands, named aptly because they first appeared in <em>Battle for Zendikar.</em></p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Abundant Countryside" href="#" target="_blank">Abundant Countryside</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Abundant Countryside"></div></div>
<p>Easily the most interesting of the three new lands in <em>Dance of the Elements,</em> <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Abundant Countryside" href="#" target="_blank">Abundant Countryside</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> acts as an <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ancient Ziggurat" href="#" target="_blank">Ancient Ziggurat</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, but better in every way. For one, it still makes a colorless mana for noncreature spells, if needed.</p>
<p>And for two, it's one of the better late-game mana sinks among lands we've seen lately. Six mana for a 1/1 changeling might not seem <em>that </em>good, but when it's repeatable and on a land, it can take over long, grinding games.</p>
<p>Expect Abundant Countryside to see a lot of play beyond this precon.</p>


<p><i>Dance of the Elements </i>wants to do pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.</p>
<p>The deck is equal parts Elemental typal and evoke/encore-centered, which is a fancy way of saying it wants to control the board with enters-the-battlefield (ETB) effects.</p>
<p>We see that in both headliner legends <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ashling, the Limitless" href="#" target="_blank">Ashling, the Limitless</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mass of Mysteries" href="#" target="_blank">Mass of Mysteries</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, as well as a few other strategic linchpins:</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ashling, the Limitless"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mass of Mysteries"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Muldrotha, the Gravetide"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Yarok, the Desecrated"></div></div>
<p>The above creatures are all about stretching our resources (in both mana and Elementals) as far as possible to eke out advantage.</p>
<p>The name of the game is Elementals, and everything in the list is in service of playing Elementals, triggering Elemental abilities, and steps one and two again. One-time triggers aren't enough. The deck wants more.</p>
<p>And speaking of Ashling, there's some <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/lorwyn-eclipsed-update-bulletin?utm_source=edhrec">day zero errata</a> regarding the card's wording that is important to keep in mind. The card <em>should </em>say "Elemental <strong>permanent</strong> spells you cast from your hand gain evoke 4 <strong>as you cast them</strong>."</p>
<p>It's a minor change, but with kindred noncreature spells out there, it's worth mentioning. also by adding the "as you cast them" condition, it just means that if something happens to Ashling between casting a relevant Elemental permanent and that spell resolving, it'll still retain the evoke 4 bonus.</p>
<p>But which ones are worth working to rehash?</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cavalier of Thorns"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Eclipsed Flamekin"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Risen Reef"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Omnath, Locus of the Roil"></div></div>
<p>In short, there are a bunch. The five new Incarnations could also easily fit in this category as well. Of the 35 non-Commander creatures in the deck, only 11 don't have an ETB ability. And two of those, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Slithermuse" href="#" target="_blank">Slithermuse</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Omnath, Locus of Rage" href="#" target="_blank">Omnath, Locus of Rage</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, have leaves-the-battlefield/dies abilities instead.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cream of the Crop"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Descendants&#039; Fury"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Garruk&#039;s Uprising"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kindred Summons"></div></div>
<p>It's not just the creatures themselves looking to get into the triggered ability craze. While the deck doesn't feature many artifacts or enchantments (thanks in part to <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bane of Progress" href="#" target="_blank">Bane of Progress</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>'s inclusion), three of our enchantments are directly tied to actions our creatures undertake.</p>
<p>All three - and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kindred Summons" href="#" target="_blank">Kindred Summons</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, too - are about generating card advantage where it can be found, which is important for a five-color deck looking to find and spend all five colors.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Blasphemous Act"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Crib Swap"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Shriekmaw"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Foundation Breaker"></div></div>
<p>There isn't a ton of interaction in <em>Dance of the Elements </em>outside of that created by the aforementioned ETB effects, and that's perfectly fine. We still have the ubiquitous <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Blasphemous Act" href="#" target="_blank">Blasphemous Act</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, if all goes south.</p>


<p>According to combo database <a href="https://commanderspellbook.com/find-my-combos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Commander Spellbook</a>, <em>Dance of the Elements </em>has no known combos, but it certainly makes up for it in synergy.</p>
<p>As noted above, the mission is to capitalize on all the enters-the-battlefield (ETB) effects seen on the deck's army of Elementals. One trigger is nice, but for this deck, it's the bare minimum.</p>
<p>How does <em>Dance of the Elements </em>ensure multiple triggers for each effect?</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ashling, the Limitless"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mass of Mysteries"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Haunting Voyage"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Yarok, the Desecrated"></div></div>
<p>Luckily, the deck's commander, Ashling, as well as the alternate commander in Mass of Mysteries, pushes players in that direction. Both seek to maximize taking advantage of Elementals coming and going.</p>
<p>Elementals (and encore) tend to be expensive, however. But the deck's got plenty of ways to ensure casting things for full price is a last resort.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Smokebraider"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Incandescent Soulstoke"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Flamebraider"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jegantha, the Wellspring"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Horde of Notions"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Faeburrow Elder"></div></div>
<p>The deck leans into creature mana, with more than a half-dozen slots dedicated to either producing mana or offering alternate costs to cast the expensive Elementals.</p>
<p>With a five-color deck, the ability to produce specific colors of mana is just as important as producing mana in quantity, so the added help from things like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jegantha, the Wellspring" href="#" target="_blank">Jegantha, the Wellspring</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is important.</p>


<p><em>Dance of the Elements </em>features a total of 40 lands, with an emphasis on lands that can produce a minimum of two colors. Several offer one of any color, albeit with caveats:</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ancient Ziggurat"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Primal Beyond"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Exotic Orchard"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Secluded Courtyard"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Command Tower"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Unclaimed Territory"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Path of Ancestry"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Opal Palace"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Abundant Countryside"></div></div>
<p>Nine lands that produce one mana of any color is a pretty good rate, especially for a preconstructed deck.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Abundant Countryside" href="#" target="_blank">Abundant Countryside</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in particular is excellent here, since not only does it fix our mana requirements, it provides late-game bodies that count as Elementals (and Plants, for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Avenger of Zendikar" href="#" target="_blank">Avenger of Zendikar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>).</p>
<p>As for utility, there's that Abundant Countryside above, but there's also <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Flamekin Village" href="#" target="_blank">Flamekin Village</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Adding haste to any creature for a single <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> is valuable when providing the ability to mana-producing creatures to get to work immediately, or with creatures like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vernal Sovereign" href="#" target="_blank">Vernal Sovereign</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> that have attack triggers.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Flamekin Village"></div></div>
<p>What the deck features in creature- and land-based mana, it falters in artifact mana. However, with 35 creatures in the list, that's to be expected. The options that <em>are </em>included are again focused on ensuring players have access to all colors as reliably as possible. Outside of the usual <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sol Ring" href="#" target="_blank">Sol Ring</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Arcane Signet" href="#" target="_blank">Arcane Signet</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, there are: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Timeless Lotus" href="#" target="_blank">Timeless Lotus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chromatic Lantern" href="#" target="_blank">Chromatic Lantern</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fellwar Stone" href="#" target="_blank">Fellwar Stone</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Timeless Lotus"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Chromatic Lantern"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fellwar Stone"></div></div>


<p>When it comes to <em>Dance of the Elements, </em>there are roughly a million options if upgrading is the goal. Typal decks have plenty of support, and enters-the-battlefield (ETB) abilities aren't exactly in short supply, either.</p>
<p>Starting with five cards, what can we add to further the deck's synergy? And how far can the power level be pushed?</p>
<p>First of all, cards can't be added before others are removed, so which five cards are on the chopping block?</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hoofprints of the Stag"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fertile Ground"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Shatter the Sky"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Slithermuse"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kindred Summons"></div></div>
<p>Really, just shedding some of the less impactful inclusions is all it'll take to free up room to add more heavy hitters. Take <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kindred Summons" href="#" target="_blank">Kindred Summons</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, for example. It's not a bad card, but a seven-mana investment will have more punch if it's attached to an excellent Elemental or ETB effect.</p>
<h3>Five Additions on a Budget</h3>

<h3>Five Additions With No Budget</h3>

<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Molten Echoes"></div></div>
<p>There are many, many options we can consider adding, as there are plenty of generically powerful support cards, budget or otherwise. We already have a good suite of effects, so really, the mission is to make them easier to get into play, or easier to multiply.</p>
<p>Whether they're budget-concious additions or they're cards that come with a heftier price tag, we could swap things in and out all day. However, we just want to do what <em>Dance of the Elements </em>is already doing, but even more efficiently.</p>

<p>Since <em>Dance of the Elements </em>is a five-color deck, it can play literally any <a href="https://edhrec.com/top/game-changers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Game Changer</a>, though that might not be wise.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Humility" href="#" target="_blank">Humility</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> might not be a good choice, for example.

<p>For both <em>Lorwyn Eclipsed </em>decks, the MSRP is listed at $49.99, up five dollars from <em>Edge of Eternities.</em></p>
<p><em>Dance of the Elements</em> comes in at an estimated contained value of around $281. If we remove the 10 new cards, which are currently in prerelease pricing and are subject to fall, the value of the reprints alone becomes around $117, which is actually below average despite some surprising reprints.</p>

<p>There's definitely an argument that can be made against five-color strategies in general. When players have access to any card, the only deckbuilding restrictions become those which players impose on themselves.</p>
<p>That said, <em>Dance of the Elements </em>is still a <em>fun </em>five-color list, and that's often all that matters, especially when it comes to preconstructed decks. It might not hit with every player, but there's going to be a good number out there for whom <em>Dance of the Elements </em>might become a top-five precon.</p>
<p><em>Dance of the Elements</em> gets a B.</p>
