Deck discussion for standard elves.

Tell me what you think.

The Leyline of Anticipation in the sideboard is there to really abuse quest for renewal. You will see the combination when you read the cards.

Arbor elves over llanowar elves every time (they compound with keeper of the progenitus.

Joraga warcallers and Gelatinous genesis are how I burn my rather absurd amounts of mana.

Sylvan Ranger is great for bringing out lands for keeper. Only two though, ideally, cards tap for quest for renewal.

Oracle of mul daya... only one is necessary it seems. Mul Daya channelers are not as good as they look. They can be very strong with their mana production, but it seems they are too inconsistent as I only have 20 lands and I'm fishing for them with oracle and sylvan ranger.

Nissa is broken. Life plus creatures... can't get any better than that... and if she ever procs... it's pretty much game over... unless someone baits me into a wrath of god... and I'm not that stupid.

Soul's majesty is great. It looks expensive, but in play testing it seems that I get an average of 6 cards for 5 mana...

Fauna shaman is nice for digging up the right cards... I'm thinking about putting in an Emrakul. Yes, an emrakul... I've got so much mana I don't know what to do... That or a eldrazi spawnshire and just sideboard emrakul, ulamog, and kolizek.

Weaknesses: a well timed pyroclasm really hurts this deck. Livana, the keeper of silence really screws this deck up, for her alone, and other flying badies, I have 4 plummets sideboarded.

Summoning trap is ideal to sideboard against blue. If I play someone running blue, I will sideboard in summoning trap and the eldrazi and bait until they counter and I drop a fatass.

Tajuru preserve is in there for people running annihilator and all is dust... or any deck that makes me sacrifice creatures for that matter....

Currently, the deck is actually slower that it might appear... however, when it drops, and it usually does around turn 5... it's big... and I mean biiiig. We're talking 10 10/10 oozes... that or a joraga warcaller giving all of my elves +10/+10...

Thoughts?

the oracle seems a little slow.. he would be an obvious card to take out if you need to sideboard something

I have a fauna shaman for you if you need one also, so i know you really like sylvan ranger and lanawar, but maybe put something else in there like a spell that you can either cripple your opponent or something else to do with all ur mana
