I've had one EDH deck I didn't post on here, so don't be so surprised I don't know the staples of the format.
Priest of Titania is always a possible inclusion in elves, but the problem here would be what to take out. I think she'd do better in something like combo elves, or the Progenitus Elves of yesteryear.

Yeah, I saw that. And the Lotus Bloom list is kind of meh to me, it's a neat idea, but so was quasi-SI.

Lotleth Troll is just too awesome to not want to, discard outlet, massive beater, ect. It's the perfect BG creature.

It's quite epic in that regard, and makes me think of Spiral Tide a bit.

I believe our last conversation on Doomsday could be used as an introduction to the deck almost, we went over pretty much every choice in both versions.
I will definitely try it sometime, but I can't help but feel like I'm playing ANT+, and if I do that I'd rather play your PANTs build.
Variety is the spice of life, and I still say you need to play iggy in everything storm. It's so amazing.

The autocomplete function lets you pick now, it's quite neat.

I know, but I had been watching South Park while building, and thought to myself; What would team America do?

To be honest, I hate Ancestral Vision in almost every deck. This is the first time I've actually taken Ponder out of a deck to put it in, and I love it in this build. Shardless BUG and I don't get along, I think it ruined the wedge for me.

It would be nice to be at four Delver, but the value of Vision in this build would have me probably just drop down to three copies if I wanted to slip it in.

And fun too, Young Pyromancer might be one of my new favorite cards. And it's /red/!

Oh, I definitely do enjoy it. I'm damn gorgeous.

I always thought stuff like that is ridiculous, in fifth grade your concern should be not getting cooties.

Mmmm, summertime shenanigans, the greatest of childhood joys.

There's some sour stuff I just can't enjoy, like people shoving religion down my throat at every corner because I don't go to a church, but the good parts are quite good.

I blame the medium of text for that. Without a voice to put behind a name, it is often quite hard to place those who speak with thought not only to what they say, but how they say it. Also, the odd combination of pop culture references the internet provides gives a certain ambiguity to ones age I'd think.

And to the second sentence, I can only think of a line from My Big Fat Greek Wedding; It's okay Nico, you have plenty of time.

None of my friends fiances have a problem with Magic quite luckily, just they have so much wedding planning they disappear from the world for periods of time.

I'm quite alright being single, I'm too cynical to be getting engaged before finishing college.

The good news is that aside from Intuition, and Glimpse, most of the expensive cards are replaceable. The land base is as it is for the sake of simplicity, but replacing the duals with the Ravnica shock lands, and cutting down on fetches would really lower the price.
Also, the saaaad panda thing is from South Park. There was a character called "Petey the Sexual Harassment Panda" in one episode, and it was something that left a lot of people shocked and amused.

Deserted Temple is a neat idea, never knew it existed.

Thanks, but sadly I can't claim the idea of Intuition Elves. It's been around for a good while, and very little of it ever changes.

I have exactly nil experience with building these kinds of elf decks, I used to play my friends aggro elves when they wanted me to come to FNM for Standard, but never built one of them myself as far as I can remember. DedWards is good with this breed of them, he's done them for good deal of time, and if you want them in this vein he'd be a much better person to ask.

The way I've played Elves in Legacy is using Heritage Druid with Nettle Sentinel, and Glimpse of Nature/Beck // Call. It also supports Vengevines and Anger via Intuition, and a playset of Fauna Shaman.

Pretty much the truth, especially Firespout. I've already lost four matches because of it lol.
Tezzeret is just plain nasty in Modern actually, and while this is quite effective, I'm planning on tinkering with Tezzerator some time in the format.

Oh the rage, the beautiful rage they have at this thing. In anything running Black, I rate competency by the anger the first few nights of testing. This is the only deck I've had to ever surpass Contamination in that means, locking somebody out of a game by turn three is worse than winning by it I find.

I had an Intuition Elves deck once, I felt dirty for playing it(that's right, that's where I draw the line) and I'll see if I can find it for you so you can have a bit of a template if you'd like. I'll check yours when I get a minute :)

Magic Workstation, then Cockatrice until that died, and now back to Magic Workstation. If I ever manage to hear anything about Lotus (a system being based on the Cockatrice work, but supposedly taking a cue from MWS when it comes to artwork) that might wind up my choice.
