I really like this elf deck. I'm working on one myself and this seems pretty sweet, Mine has an elf that if you tap 7 elf druids you control you gain control of target players land until end of turn.... It'd be a crazy way to keep you opponent from getting out anything new to destroy your elves.

refer both below and above at the comment I put on shadowshun's comment. I need ideas for other cards that may mix in well mostly. If you have ideas please let me know. I am always open to ideas on new ideas for it, just know the mana curve isn't an issue.
Look over my mana ramping cards again. Maybe even try drawing a few sample hand. Know that since Vault of whispers is treated like a artifact not when laying it I could lay down 4 of them turn one if I had them. Also notice the 4x Everflowing Chalice. Those 8 cards make my mana curve near perfect. Sometimes I have so much mana I can't use it all. So trust me when I say that this doesn't need 24 lands. If anything I could take out 10 lands for something else and do fine. [But I'm being over zealous here.] Hope you understand the deck better now.
I don't do competitions. So ignore the large side board.
Surprisingly the singles aspect works nicely since I get plenty of mana to use diabolic or demonic tutor. So I just look for which ever of my creatures would work best for the situation. This deck has a way to conquer most deck strategies. It couldn't stop blue's mill and it would have difficulty against a burn but could still win. Also the side board is large to show other cards I switch in and out sometimes to experiment. Besides I don't do competitions so I can have as large of a side board as I please. I only play with friends. So this works for my needs. And notice the 4 Vault of Whispers and the 4 Ever-flowing chalice. I have a TON of mana by turn 6. Normally on turn 1 I can play 2-5 mana depending on how many Vault of Whispers I get. I've played an Anowon the first turn before using this. Trust me the mana ramp is amazing so it IS mana curve friendly. I've never done better at getting a mana curve that grows this fast out side of green. Sorry that the Vault of Whispers ended up doubling to show 2 4x Vault of Whispers... it doubled it somehow. I'll delete one of the 4x. Since it's and artifact I can only have 4 per deck. About the gatekeepers. Yeah sometime I trade out Repentant and Sengir for the Gatekeepers. But I wouldn't trade out any of the other vampires for them... so I'd have to start removing artifacts or spells/enchantments for the other two. If you have the cards try out this deck once. You'll be surprised. Its my pride and joy. =]
I like this deck. I'd like to say Vampires are really over powered, so i'd be interested in if you could make a good Vampire/Elf deck. It'd be a good way of combining two strong tribes if you can do it. Still like the black and green. I'll refer to this for cards next time I go by a card shop. See if I can pick up a few.
Note I didn't use standard.
Demonic tutors are expensive. He probably used diabolic as filler of course. Not everyone has all the right cards for a deck or know of all the right cards. Ease up. Yes Bloodghast is good, but vampire lacerator is horrible. I'd never put him in my deck because against a white deck you are going to be praying that he gets destroyed soon. Kalastria highborn is a decent vampire. But not one of the best ever printed, just a good vampire to add in when others seem to fail. Pulse tracker is alright but I don't run him anymore, If you really want a good vampire take the three drop vampire nighthawk. Him and Bloodghast make an awesome team. Especially with blade of blood chief and anowon. Another thing to look into is drana kalastria, Nirkana Revenant, and maybe some of the other cards I run in my vampire deck. Look at my "Sacrifice to the Bloodchief" deck. It has a large sideboard because they are other good cards I mix in and out to experiment with. Also Butcher of Malakir is a good one. My favorite and most annoying card to play on others is Nettlevine Blight. It just keeps bouncing around on their permanents sacrificing them all the time. Its hilarious to watch.
I used this link... it shows no cards?
I made an elf deck but didn't have enough elves to make it quite as good as this. I like the idea of it. Take a look at mine maybe for ideas. I got a few ideas from yours. =] Thanks for posting it.
Minion Reflector may be of some use for this deck, I think if you could find a way to jimmy it in there it could really pay off.
A look at my Sacrifice to Anowon Deck could be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Try using Contaminated Ground. (or was it Contaminated Swamp? whatever its black...)
I really like the way you used Black and Blue together to make a great deck for forcing the opponent to draw and discard while keeping your hand size as unlimited. It is very interesting. I'd never seen the card "Raven's Crime" before either and its retrace effect intrigues me. I may just look into buying some of these cards and making something similar. Thanks for the idea and posting this.
You should consider using Demonic Tutor as well as Diabolic tutor for card searching... Demonic tutor costs less to play...
I don't think Lightning coils would be allowed in a Pure Black EDH deck... That card itself is colorless but it creates red creature tokens... so I don't think it is allowed... but it might be, if I were you I'd check though.
