Deck Description

This is the first deck i ever worked on. I'm sure i could improve on it a fair amount now but I've kept it as the original deck for nostalgic value.

The Wood Elves and Llanowar Elves are key to the mana base of the deck, using Wirewood Symbiote to bounce the Wood Elves and untap the Llanowar. The untap is essential to the deck mechanic to abuse the ability of Skyshroud Poacher, Timberwatch Elf and Elvish Aberration. Somewhere between turn 4 and 6 you slap your opponent with a 325/325 trampling elf.

yes those decks are played with only monsters.

the o,ly spells that are used sometimes are berserk and iant growth

but berserk is an expensive card.
there are better alternatives for wood elf and i would concentrate more on timberwatch than anything else
and i wouldn't use taunting elf.

thats all for now

Originally i considered enchantments like Rancor and Primal Rage, but i found they slowed it down. Spells aren't needed because the majority of the creatures are used for their utility.
Wood Elves is needed purely for his come into play ability. Wirewood symbiote and Elvish Aberration abuse him to empty all the forests from the deck so when Ambush Commander comes out there are tons of elves in play. Also the forests will trigger Wirewood Hivemasters ability.
Taunting Elf is a means to avoid trading off with swarms. The Symbiote bounces him before he dies to the opponents creatures so you can do it again the next turn, its more an addition for multiplayer games.
