Thanks! I took some of your advice, including using the manabasefinder website. I'm not sure I need black market, as it kinda takes a while to get going, and I have so many other cards that accelerate faster and have similar potential for mana production. I'm having a hard time deciding what to take out though

Wow, this is sick. I especially like the mutavault, since you can even tap it for itself. This deck sure looks pricey though
Never mind, I took it out. I'm still looking for better ways to get cards in my hand though, so suggestions would be very welcome.
Anyone have any suggestions for a better way to draw? Distant melody isn't all that great.
Haha, this deck is totally awesome, I wish I had thought of this. I can just imagine being hot with a kaboom'd draco. Sweet.
Nice build, much in the style of my elf deck actually, you should check it out. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=139798 One major difference between our decks that I find very helpful is the concordant crossroads, it makes the deck accelerate a lot faster, especially combined with glimpse of nature. I also might consider taking 2 or 3 forest out, since you have plenty of mana acceleration. The only land besides the cradles (which I agree are way too pricey) I've found are wirewood lodges, but I found it actually slowed my deck down a little. My deck would definitely beat this one pretty consistently (it's third or fourth turn win), but yours is more well rounded, and I might consider emphasizing that with a little more protection and removal.
This deck is fairly sadistic, but awesome at the same time. It wouldn't be nearly as good without the isochron scepters, but it's pretty sick all the same. Nice job man.
I agree with the first comment, extinction is really the only thing here that would stop a good elf deck, but you have no way to get it out before turn 5. I admit this has a lot of things to slow down elves, but my elf could still beat it, and that really shouldn't happen if it's made specifically against elves. You should check out my deck and see what you can do to improve this. I would suggest board wipes and some mana acceleration, since you would really need to kill everything on turn 2 or 3 to actually do anything against my deck.
