I like it, the only change I would make is a cut of Leyline for Joraga Warcaller. He gives you a extremely useful place to dump all your mana ramp and makes everything amazing...

All very good options, but alas stacking the Leylines could potentially be so much better than the Joragas. :P lol

Having 4x "Quest for Renewal" is also a must, both to have a higher chance of drawing it & in case it were destroyed. Combine with "Wellwisher" to gain 1 life for each Elf in play, once in my turn & once in every opponent's turn. Also, to use "Llanowar Elves" and/or "Elvish Archdruid" to generate mana, then use "Imperious Perfect" to generate even more elves, & then keep "Timberwatch Elf" available to boost creature defenses - all on every opponent's turn. Although, I would use "Wellwisher" after I use "Imperious Perfect" to generate more elves & thus have more life gained. xD

"Genesis Wave" would be great, but as I don't want it to replace anything else in the deck & as I'm trying to keep the card count down to 60, it's unfortunately excluded. :-/ lol

Well actually maybe you could pull out one our two nissa revane and put in Genesis wave, because what are you going to do when you have one in your hand and on the field? That's much less likely to happen with only two, and they will show up plenty anyways

Also with the leyline: I think again, maybe take out two and put in two joraga, because outline is great, but as my math and English teachers ( who played magic from the beginning) say, life doesn't win games, so I think joraga is a good choice too

If "Nissa Revane" wasn't so easy to destroy, then I would definitely take 2 out & put in 2 "Genesis Wave" or 2 "Joraga Warcaller." Also, having the chance to have more Leylines in my opening hand is just too good to pass up. xD lol

Hmmm. I see you're point, but leyline is only an ok card, I think joraga is better, but your choice

Yeah, they're both pretty nice cards & I think that the only way I'd know for sure if I really wanted to swap 2 Leylines for 2 Joragas, is to test both options out in multiple games. ;)

You can check out my elf deck, it tends to be turn 5-6 kill, been toying with the idea to put in Akroma's Memorial for one turn faster.... No life gain in there at all... http://www.mtgvault.com/wayyepicfail/decks/elves/

Since you're gaining an insane amount of life, why not "Elvish Promenade" and/or "Mercy Killing?" - they'd boost your life total significantly

I use Essence Warden for a similar effect in my current Elf deck, check it if you want =)

I would definitely use "Elvish Promenade" and "Mercy Killing" (only really good as a combo with "Timberwatch Elf" though) if I knew exactly what to switch them with & as I'm trying to keep the card count down to 60, they're unfortunately excluded. :-/ lol

Picking and choosing what to keep and what not to can be a mind-tearing experience. After a bit more study of your Elf deck, I see that my advice was unnecsessary. Sorry dude =) Good build
