Thank you, sirrr
I have thought about doubling up on batterskull or jitte.

I'm using the old green leyline ;)
Just using them against heavy counter decks.

Thanks man!

So far so good, running 13 lands. Rarely run into the problem with having no lands in my opening hand. I have thought about adding one more, maybe.

I'll give Staff a try, see how it goes. I seem to hardly go for Progenitus anyways. Once I start elf balling, I always go for Emrakul.

The sideboard I can agree with you. The only reason I have a playset of Black Leylines is because of my meta. I see soooooo many mono black res decks. Null Rod would be a great replacement in a more tournament setting. Also thinking about Surgical Extraction.

Thanks for commenting and solving the ruling issue!

I see where you're coming from, but in my experience Visionary really helps me out sometimes. Sometimes after I pop, my hand is looking pretty low on creatures. Visionary let's me get those few extra cards to keep me going. It makes good card draw with Wirewood Symbiote.

Steely Resolve would be a great addition, if it was "control shroud". If all my elves couldn't be the target of spells or abilities, I couldn't use Wirewood Symbiote or Quirion Ranger to bounce or untap.

I like how you're thinking though, thanks for commenting =)

Thanks, Mursh

I've seen people cast Green Sun to put in Dryad Arbor on their first turn in legacy tournaments. So I figured if they were able to do it, with judges around, why can't I? I'm not saying any of you are wrong, just making a point.

Thanks Kaim for getting my back

Thanks for commenting

They are just used when I run out of fuel. Most of the time, I'm going for the win the same turn I use them.

I've seen Eldrazi Monument in a different build of elves. They tend to run Elvish Archdruid, Elvish Promenade and Imperious Perfect. In that kind of build, Monuments are a game winner most of the time. It's just in my build, I'm afraid it may slow the deck down a bit.

All are not easy wins, sir

That is a good card, but I think it may be too risky running in this deck because of the high casting cost.

Thanks for you input =)

The only reason I was considering Spirit Guides, was for speed. The earliest I could pop, without Spirit Guides and Petal, is turn 2. (given I don't see burn or control) But after discussing it, Spirit Guides seem less consistent. I would have to basically have the perfect hand, and I rarely to that happening. So I do agree with you there.

I haven't tried using grapeshot, but I do sideboard 2 of them. Reanimator is very popular in my meta, and it would be a good answer for Blazing Archon. I also having tried Lotus Petals either. To get R I use Birchlore Ranger.
I run 2 Joraga Warcaller for two reasons. First, he is a one drop that helps start/continue elf balling. And second, sometimes my library starts to run very thin during the pop. I feel like it's a better decision to bounce a Warcaller with Wirewood Insect, and re-play the Warcaller kicked with Concordant Crossroads on the field. I know that most of my creatures will be tapped from elf balling, but Nettle Sentinel and a super kicked Warcaller usually does the trick.

I ran 1 Pendlehaven at one point, but decided to take it out. Rarely got to use it (besides for mana).

I've never considered Living Wish, it's a neat idea. I may throw a few in and do some play testing with them.

I thought about only running 2 Summoner's Pact. The would believe the mana difference would be than big of a deal, seeing where it is elves, and I plan to go for the win the same turn I use them.

Thank you for posting your thoughts and ideas! You've opened up a few more options for me.

Agreed Kaim

I forgot to comment regarding Regal Force, thewuest. The way I pilot this deck is by casting or Green Sun Regal Force earlier on during mid pop, just to refuel my hand. Most of the time, once about 10 creature are on the field, that's plenty. I never drop a Regal Force too late, because you're right, milling out could happen.

Fauna Shaman would be one of the first ones I would think to take out, but if I did, I would have to also take out Progenitus. She is the only way to pitch him back into the library to green sun into him. But I rarely do so, usually just go all the way for Emrakul.
I feel Emrakul is a MUST in this deck. You can easily elf ball into him. Besides, he is the best elf ;)

Yea...I believe we've may have started a revolution...

Seems Thorn is the best possible answer to burn

Not a bad idea.
All this burn talk, wants me to through a few white leylines in ;)

I agree that this deck doesn't have a lot of answers for other decks. Burn, Control and turn one decks are tough to go up against.

I've already experienced that, it's rough. The only card I can think of, that could help, is Dense Folige
