Seems like you don't have much land, some useless nonbasics, also I'd consider putting in Primalcrux (could be such a badass here!) and Gaea's Liege due to the making opponents lands into forests thing considering your general gives all your elves forestwalk anyways. Finally Rofellos could be a nice add in here, if you can find the room.

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
On the subject of lands, what are things like Ancient Ziggurat, Shimmering Grotto, and Vivid Grove in here for? The only mana you will ever need is colorless and Green, so giving yourself the option to make Red or Blue mana (which you can't make anyways since Eladamri is only green) isn't really worth it. Ziggurat essentially taps for Green mana which can only be used to cast creatures so if you really need to get that 1 extra mana in for your Primal Surge (Yes it can happen, more often than you think) you're out of luck. I suggest removing those kinds of lands and just adding Forests, or Lands that give you large amounts of mana *cough cough Gaea's Cradle* or really good abilities, I suggest Vesuva or Thespian's Stage. Those are both strong lands.On the subject of the rest of the deck, you have some solid cards, even some great ones, but some of these are just out of freaking nowhere. Like Darksteel Forge for instance. I have a Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer deck and it's filled with artifacts, obviously, its from Mirrodin. Since it's so full of artifacts, I bought a Forge. This deck has some great artifacts in it, but none that you won't win without, and certainly not enought to warrant 9 mana. The only things you REALLY need to save are the Memorial and Coat of Arms because if someone blows up your Lotus you're not gonna run out of mana, you're running freaking elves, you have as much mana as you dang well please.Some of the elves in here are ok at best and some are just straight up bad. Wirewood Elf and Leaf Gilder are just Llanowar elves with one extra Power or Toughness. Then you have the actual Llanowar Elf. Elves is one of the most broken tribes ever. They're humongous, they're in like every set ever, they ramp like its no one's business, they do tokens, they make opponents discard, they're insane. Your general gives every single elf on the field forestwalk, including your opponents'. If you're playing a black deck that's running conspiracy, all they have to do is name Elf and you give every single creature he owns unblockable and shroud. You have exactly 2 cards which remove enchantments: Spine and Lux Canon. Spine costs 7 mana, so if someone decides to put an enchantment on the field that you don't like before you have 7 mana, you just get to be sad. Lux Canon comes out earlier, but casting that is like saying "Hey guys, I'm gonna have the ability to nuke anything on the field at instant speed, don't kill me". It makes you a threat, or someone's just gonna Naturalize it before it goes off. On the subject of your general again, you get forestwalk and shroud, but if you're playing against an American deck, or literally any non-green deck, your commander only does half his job. BUT! Yavimaya Dryad can help with that. Look it up. Blink that man.The biggest problem with your deck is that it essentially leaves your opponents up to their own devices and that is a terrible plan. Opponents who are left unchecked, become problems. Big ones. Fast. The ability to remove any Creature, Artifact, or Enchantment, on command is an ABSOLUTE necessity and I can not stress that enough. YOU. NEED. TO. BE. ABLE. TO. REMOVE. NONCREATURE. PERMANENTS. Spine and Lux canon are not enough. They are vulnerable and slow.
its cute that you took so much time to bash on my deck, and I hate to break your heart, but this was my very first personal EDH build, and has since become G/B Rhys the Exiled Reanimator. the lands in question were in there because of inexperience and me wanting to have some "cool" lands. ill post the Karn, silver deck im currently building when im finished with it, and you can critique that too, if it would make you feel good. my current EDH builds are:OliviaNiv-MizzetRhys, the ExiledTajicKarnSigardaIf there is one you would specifically like to bash, please let me know, ill post it up. BTW, my Tajic decklist on this site, that youre probably drafting an essay on is tragically innacurate as of now.
Look, bud, since you clearly know all things about EDH, as you demonstrated on that Olivia deck, I figured "You know what, let's see how much this guy actually knows about the subject." Figured you might be full of crap and you were just spouting things to sound intelligent. If you were, I'd give you some advice. If you actually did know things about EDH, that's cool too. Maybe I know a better card than what you've got, let you know, help a brotha out. Be friendly. Because that's the purpose of Magic. Not to be petty, and condemn people for helping out someone new to the format. If you really are building all those decks, great! Good for you. I encourage every I know who plays Magic to build an EDH, because its a really fun, relaxed format. When I see a REALLY badly made EDH, on here (and, lets be honest, this is crap. I'm sure the 1st one I've got on here is a load of poo too. everyone's first is), I try and help 'em out. Give them some advice. I definitely don't go on here to "bash" decks. Yea I don't sugar coat it, but I'm not one to just say a bad deck is good. I spend a lot of time on my advice to people so when some random dude swoops in and says "Yeah this guy makes some good points, but my ideas are WAY better." I get a little touchy. I saw 2 EDH decks and about 20 standard/modern/whatever decks and tried to help you out, because from your profile, you don't seem like an EDH pro. I try to avoid conflict with people as much as I can, because fight amongst other players isn't going to help anyone improve. I welcome any advice on any of my decks. When I'm wrong, I'll admit it. If you wanna keep going like this, bashing me and my advice to others, feel free, but I'm done with that. Or, we can both just drop this utterly pointless and downright idiotic argument and go about our lives as civilized players.
lol i never said my ideas were better, i said exile is better than destroy in most situations, and you snowballed that into this war. I never claimed to be an EDH pro, nor will I ever, because its a casual format, and to have the "omgz this is teh bestest deck everrrr!!!" you need to spend like $1500 and im not willing to invest that into one deck. My goal was the same as yours, and you took offense to something that I assure you, you took out of context. I dont set out to be a douche unless someone is doing something to deserve it. Yes, my Eladamri deck is shit. it went from this, to an Omnath deck, and now its current manifestation is Rhys, like I said. thats the beauty of EDH, its constantly changing, evolving, and improving. You do spend a ton of time on your posts, which is admirable. you came off aggressive, thats exactly how I responded. Its a game, bro. if you have REAL advice, ill happily post some of my other EDH decks. theyre not here because theyre a pain in the ass to post.
