Deck Description

My idea of what a B/G elf deck should be doing. I tried to make it to have an answer for just about anything that can be thrown at it, especially against aggro decks, as this is also an aggro deck itself. The idea is to be more aggressive than your opponent, play as many elves in a single turn as possible, overwhelm them in power and attack for game.
I would like to note that I'm not using Nettle Sentinel, Arbor Elf, Heritage Druid, Regal Force, Craterhoof Behemoth, Scavenging Ooze, Collected Company, Chord of Calling for the sake of being different and not falling into the same, everyday elf deck. I tried to be original, while keep coherence with the idea of the deck.
It's a shame that Freyalise llanowar's fury and Ambush Commander aren't legal in modern, otherwise they'd be a perfect fit here, I'd like for this to be for Legacy, but it's much too slow for it.

How to Play

1 drops:
I run 4 Elvish Mystic as my 1-drop-mana-dork, because I don't want to draw them late game.
4 essence warden - gain life whenever a creature comes in. Again, I'm trying to be aggro, but this deck becomes aggro in the mid-late game, so I need plenty of life to survive that long (Nissa revane is also in here for the same reason)
2 Joraga Treespeaker - It's elves, do I need to Explain?
Joraga Warcaller - see Joraga Treespeaker.
..................
2 drops:
4 Elvish Visionary - draw power. That's it.
4 Dwynen's Elite - 2 Elves for 1{G} and this synergizes well with Elvish Promenade
2 Go for the Throat - I'm playing black, might as well play some removal
.....................
3 drops:
4 Elvish Archdruid - best elf I know of. Gives all other elves +1/+1 and it taps for tons of mana. 4 isn't enough.
4 Shaman of the Pack - This is B/G elves, see Joraga treespeaker.
.................
4 drops:
2 Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen - Gives all other Elves +1/+1, gives you 1 life per attacking elf when she attacks and she has reach for those pesky flyers.
3 Elvish Promenade - Builds massive armies in the mid/late game.
................
5+ drops
2 Coat of arms - with elvish promenade, dwynen's elite, genesis wave and all the mana dorks, this makes this deck just that much better.
3 Genesis Wave - I put this in the 5+ drops because you usually want to cast it for as much mana as possible to build your elven army as big as it can get.
1 Emrakul - if all else fails...
.........................
Ramp into as many Elves as possible to build up the Elven army and boost their power even higher with Coat of Arms. Essence Warden will help you stay alive until then. especially with all the tokens.
Defend the Gilt-Leaf Palace! To arms by Elven Brethren!
