looks good, if youre looking for elf ideas, check out my Eladamri EDH. I think I have almost all of the decent elves in there:http://www.mtgvault.com/ninjastyle612/decks/eladamri-elves-edh/

you say "the competetive range of standard" but use Brainstorm, Dragon Fodder, ect. which are not standard legal...Modern? either way, I might run this at FNM Modern...nice deck
how is Everlasting Torment an answer for Akroma's Memorial? its a R/B effect, and Memorial gives protection from R/B...
why use coulhauler, which hits you? maybe use Platinum Emperion to prevent damage to you, and Into the Maw and Blasphemous Act to beat up your Stuffy.....
Im working the land issue, some are there to untap mana elves, others to untap lands that produce excess mana. I feel like Primalcrux would be tougher to find room for than Rofellos or the Liege, but it could work. thanks for the input
Kicker is an additonal mana cost, not an alternate, or (x), so you CAN kick it, the ruling posted states as much
Rangers Path is better than Caravan Vigil, unless you have a way to activate Morbid. Also, I would leave Yeva in, because being able to flash in a vorapede at the opponents endstep or as a blocker after declaration of attack is super helpful
5Jan13 - I went 3-2 last night at FNM, finishing in the top 8(7). Won games against Mono Green Aggro/Ramp(2-0), R/U Guttersnipe(2-0), and B/W Exalted(2-0). Lost rounds 1 and 5 to G/W Thrag (2-1) and B/R Rakdos Aggro(0-2...this guy took first, undefeated)overall i am pleased with how it ran
sideboard is too big, you have a lot going on. it just doesnt seem very effective to me. -Chandra is essentially useless here, unless you plan on using her to copy your Ranger's Path or Farseek...copying Supreme Verdict and Terminus doesnt do anything..and with only 2 burn spells, yeah. shes not good here. -Tamiyo doesnt seem to have much use either, as by the time you have her out, most aggro decks have too much for her to deal with alone. Verdicts and Rifts help, but not enough, imo. -Jace is solid because he is a draw engine, and its only 3 turns to ultimate if he can survive your lack of defense.-Garruk helps jace, in that he makes blockers, but what about Dreadbore? two mana, and your defense generator is gone. It seems to me like you dont want to decide on a single playstyle, so you threw a bunch together. My suggestion is to decide which one or two planeswalkers you want to build around, and do that. I dont see enough support here. Good Luck!
im not a fan of Fiend Hunter as opponent removal, I use him in my U/W deck to save a creature from my own Supreme Verdict, but i just dont think he works as well as permenantly removing something from the field.
Tormented soul is far too easy to remove, wheras stalker makes an opponent sweat in this type of deck. Roodborn Defenses I like, but not necessarily here. it has saved my ass a few times, but I see where other things fit better. Lingering Souls is in here so I dont have to use my exalted triggers as chump blockers, and I have yet to run into a land balance issue, although the ETB on cathedral was an oversight on my part, I still think it works well on turn 3 instead of turn 2, considering the low mana cost in this deck. thanks for the tips guys
if you're in a situation where you need a 16/16 flying lifelink creature in an exalted deck, you should just scoop and play Thrag like everyone else... Id rather start attacking turn 3 with a 5/4 knight and end the game before they have a chance to get going. besides the fact that for the price of playing one Vis Kal, you can drop 4 exalted triggers in its place (knight, knight, duty bound dead, Aven squire) provided you have the hand. also, sacing your triggers is foolish and desperate. I would also replace 2 soul link and one murder with 3 lingering souls to make chump blockers.
-2 duskmantle prowler-2 Desecration Demon-1 Vish kal-1 Nefarox-3 Pacifism-2 Swamp-2 Plains+4 Duty Bound Dead+2 Sublime Archangel+3 Oblivion Ring+4 Isolated ChapelVish Kal and Nefarox are too slow for exalted, where the name of the game is speed. Duskmantle Prowler isnt very good, because most of the time, youre only using him for his trigger, which is accomplished for 3 mana less by Duty Bound Dead. Sublime Archangel is also needed. I like the nighthawk as your attacker, because of the lifelink.
add a couple stuffy doll to maximize your Blasphemous Act. having 2 on the field when you hit the BA can win it for you
Fencing Ace is cute and all, but super easy to deal with with removal. I would replace all 4 of them with Knight of Glory. much better card, with built in resilience. Also, Detention Sphere is probably better than Oring.....
yeah, thats about all I got for ya...good luck. If you get a chance, take a look at my guttersnipe decks :) R/B: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=416645 R/U: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=410672
looks good. since youre running mono red, and burn, you might consider replacing 4 mountains with 4 Valakut, the Molten Pinnicle. that could be fun. basically a free late game lightning bolt
I run a deck similar to this in standard. you should add Pillar of Flame or Searing Spear instead of some of the creature only burn and the burn that hurts you.
theyre too expensive for what you want to do. like I said, play a guttersnipe, next turn, playu dual casting on that guttersnipe, cast pillar of flame, copy it, deal 8 damage. win.
half the game is luck of the draw bud...but Guttersnipe and dual casting should both be in here.
