I play a very nonmeta version of elana haven with pinion prayers and birdsongs . I ' m running very few heavy cards , with only 1 x PoD and 1 x Olivia for late game , and only 2 x themis instead of 3 . In some matchups , I consider t 1 pinion to be a bad play , even if this means skipping the first 2 turns or so . For a situation where I have both pinion prayer and a birdsong in hand , then on turn 3 I draw into arias , I would consider playing arias alone to be a better play against nonaggro than playing both arias and pinion , because this means being able to drop both birdsong and pinion on 4 to line up the amulets to all pop on t 6 for a combo turn , while t 5 can be used to either set up elanas or to get a tempo evolve with radiance angel for example . Then there is the more common t 3 dilemma if you have a prism , and elana and two rabbit healers in hand , going second and going up against aggro , do you drop the prism for a 22 tempo or set up elana for t 4 double rabbits ?
