Draft & Sealed Synergies

Best cards to pair with Elvenking's Harper in The Hobbit limited

common

Velvetwing Butterflies // Gaze in Wonder

Creature — Insect // Instant — Adventure

Gaze in Wonder taps one or two creatures, and Elvenking's Harper can make a creature unblockable; together they form a strong evasion and tap package to ensure your key attackers connect without being blocked.

Uneasy Partings

Instant

Uneasy Partings bounces a creature to the top or bottom of its owner's library, and Elvenking's Harper makes a creature unblockable; together they clear the way for your attackers by removing blockers and making your creatures evasive.

uncommon

Bilbo, Luckwearer // Burglar's Plot

Legendary Creature — Halfling Rogue // Sorcery — Adventure

Bilbo Luckwearer already can't be blocked, but Elvenking's Harper can make other creatures unblockable too; activating the Harper's ability on Bilbo is redundant but on other creatures it enables multiple unblockable attackers for maximum damage.

Woodland Weavemaster

Creature — Elf Druid

Woodland Weavemaster taps to add mana for Elf spells, which can help pay for Elvenking's Harper's {4}{U} activation cost; the Weavemaster's mana generation makes the Harper's expensive ability more accessible in an Elf-heavy deck.

mythic

Elrond, Moon-Reader

Legendary Creature — Elf Noble

Elrond draws a card whenever you activate a creature ability; activating Elvenking's Harper's unblockable ability triggers Elrond's draw, giving you card advantage every time you use the Harper to push through damage.
