Deck Description

An Elve-based deck that kills either by swarming the enemy or by generating a masive storm count to kill via Brainfreeze or (alternatively) Grapeshot.

Game is fairly simple:
First accelerate your mana than try to fish out a combo with "Heritage Druid", at least 2x"Nettle Sentinel", another Elf and "Glimpse of Nature". Ones you got this combo you can basically draw through your deck and play the elves you draw via the mana you contiously generate. Ones you have played enough spells in the turn you play "Brain Freeze" and finish the opponent with a massive Storm Count. I decided to go with "Brain Feeze" as the main deck finisher because I think it is much more likely that an opponent can increase his life to survive the turn you go off than to be able to go up against the milling effect (especially if you re-use it via "Eternal Witness").
With a good hand this deck can win as early as turn two or three.

The Sideboard allows for two additonal win conditons.
The first one is bringing out a massive Mycoloth and generating hords of creatures every turn that both protect you and eventually overrun your opponent.
The second one uses the same system as "Brain Freeze", but instead of forcing him to discard his library you instead burn away his life via "Grapeshot". (This should be used if an opponent can for example recycle artifacts via "Academy Ruins")
