This combo can wipe out the table in one go. All you need is Reveillark, Karmic Guide, a sac outlet and a pinger. Saccing R and KG will bring each other back from the graveyard infinitely, killing the table with a pinger, like Zulaport Cutthroat. \n\nOne of the hardest parts of playing this deck is knowing when and how to play Elenda. She is big and scary target for opponents. She is incredibly vulnerable to getting exiled, flickered, etc. Thus, all the sac outlets and single target protection spells. I never bring Elenda out unless I have a board ready to be sacked. Having a sac outlet ready for her is super important in making sure you can get her death trigger. There is no value to have her out before that, otherwise she can get sniped or caught in a Farewell, which is the worst. Making sure you have a board is good too, but another thing to pay attention to is life totals. This deck is really good at deceiving its lethality. I've often been surprised at the decks killing power. I've won many games where people thought I wasn't the issue and life totals were at 20 life or higher. If you have multiple pingers on board you can even wipe out healthy opponents too. Players are often focused on bigger scary boards, with big creatures, keeping Elenda small until the right moment is also super helpful in keeping her around. The thing to keep in mind is that all your creatures are at least 1 point of life that can be taken from your opponents. And like I said earlier, if multiple pingers are on board they can be 2 or 3 life. \n\n\n"}]}
