Deck discussion for Elven Genesis

I've been playtesting this one for a little while now, and I'm wondering if the mana ramp could be sped up a bit?

I've thought of a few options: Copperhorn Scouts instead of Joraga Warcallers. While some of the bulk of the elves may be lost, Copperhorn can potentially almost double the mana pool, making for a bigger genesis wave.

Can potentially get some bulk back by replacing four forests with four Orien-Rief, the Vastwood. I'm not too sure about this though, haven't tested any of these ideas.

Any thoughts?

There IS one issue with trying to use Copperhorn Scout. True, it may be able to almost double your mana pool, but it separates your mana pool over 2 main phases. This would work as an acceptable way of making it work better if Genesis wave was an instant, then you could cast it during your combat phase, but as it is, your mana pool empties after main phase one, and after the combat step.

Ah good point. I'll try it out and see if it goes well.
