Elf Wave

I was inspired by a friends deck to put this list together:

Essentially you play a fast elf deck, except that with all the ramp available you have some big mana late game plans. Triple activate an Ezuri? Genesis Wave for 20? Drop a Joraga Warcaller with 10 counters on it? All possible with this deck.

I wrote a quick blog post about some of the card choices here:

I'll be trying to update this deck list as time goes on to make it even more competitive.

I've been winning left and right online on MWS with this deck, but I think a part of that might be that a bunch of people are playing new decks that they aren't familiar with in order to get a handle on the post-ban Standard.

As such, I haven't really been able to evolve the deck much at all. I'd like to fit in a couple Green Suns, as they can help a lot with finding the right card at the right time, even with Fauna Shamans in the deck.

Any other suggestions?

Everything else aside, this deck is really fun to play with. I'm enjoying it a lot.

Elf decks are normally very fast I find being they can recover from board-wipes fairly quickly. The one card I can easily say to replace ASAP would be the Viridian Emissary. Sure it's nice to have some land fetch in the deck, but I would assume you could find something better for the slot.
Do you plan on keeping this deck 100% elves or considering adding other options to the mix? If you don't plan on having all elves... I would place in Primeval Titans. Either that, or Avenger of Zendikar. Or two and two... but that's my opinion ofcourse.
