Deck discussion for Elves!

You should definitely have some joraga warcaller, throw in done well wishers for some life gain. Wirewood pride is a cheap way to make an elf overpowered.

yeah I waffled a bit on Warcaller. A great Elf for sure, but I was kind of going for a faster approach. Warcaller is a magnet for removal. Tap out for warcaller, it gets bolted, then where are you? I think this deck has a better mid-to-late game than most elf decks, with Monument and Green Sun's zenith to go get Ezuri or Avenger in the late game (with Monument out, preferably, haha). As for the other suggestions, I would really like to keep the deck standard-legal. I'll have to playtest, if the deck needs some added punch, I'll probably add Warcaller for the Copperhorn Scout.

really like the deck. I've been looking for a way to make eldrazi monument more worth it to put into an elf deck myself, but my way came in too late in the game. If you don't mind, I would very much like to put in the vengevine idea into my elf deck as well. It might not be type 2 though.
as for any issues i might see... is the only reasoning for the Viridian Corrupter the artifact destruction? if it is, take it out and replace it with relic crush/naturalize/nature's claim/slice in twain... maybe (playtest it). As for land, you have a monocolored deck, so non-basics are your friend... techtonic edge for defence against valakut decks, contested war zone to make the deck even faster in killing, quicksand for small but pesky infect, mystifying maze for other pesky (flying) creatures giving any problems (you have no defence against flying). regardless, i still feel that this is a very well constructed deck. Please do me a huge favor and check out the decks I've posted so far. I haven't posted many, but I just started my account. thanx. I'll probly check out some more of your decks soon. I like speed like you have here!

yeah, tectonic edge is definitely a good idea. Corrupter is for artifact destruction (swords), easy to tutor with Zenith or Fauna Shaman. If I'm ever allowed to untap with her, that is. I plan to board in naturalize or creeping corrosion against artifact-heavy decks like Tezzeret. And Eldrazi monument makes my creatures flying, so technically I do have defense against flyers :P But I'll probably put Plummet in the sideboard.

I just don't like Contested Warzone because you lose it when damage is dealt to you. I dont like the idea of losing a land. But it's something to test, since maybe I have enough mana producers that it won't matter.

btw, I made sure all the suggestions were for type 2 tourny's. No need to check on 'em

I also just realized that if eldrazi monument costs too much for you, you can use viridian to destroy your own artifact too. yeah, viridian is a good choice. I would almost say put 2 in now, lol.

I don't remember if you had sylvan ranger in there or not, but add him in there. It'll dual as adding more mana from lands and thinning out ur deck to draw non-land. The deck is, for the most part, a very fast deck. It's elves after all :).

also, idk if you're gonna take this to tourny's but if so, sideboard should include 4 autumn's veils, 4 canopy covers, a 2nd viridian corrupter, a couple Tajuru Preservers (ur deck has slight weakness to vampire deck maybe), and acetiscism, however many you think.

Dam!, I've left so many comments. sry, but I forgot to put that the Tajuru Preservers also protects you from eldrazi annihilator, which was my actual original reasoning for telling you to put him in the. It also protects from all is dust. anyway, I think this is the last comment for a bit.
