Why no Swarmyard?

Probably Balefire.
Its a casual deck. He's not looking to win any tournaments with it, just have fun at the kitchen table.
Theres no real place in the mana curve to put Hero of Bladehold unless I replaced Angelic Overseer. Avacyn's pilgrim is great mana ramp. In my testing, Elite vanguard was actually slightly subpar and was replaced by doomed traveler. And I don't see how DoJ would help at all. I need board presence bad, This isn't G/W Tokens, I can't recover as easily, especially if I don't have overseer/gideon/angelic destiny on the field.
4 with a perfect draw, Usually 5-6. Longer games are usually against control match-ups for me.
Thanks. Been working on something along these lines for a while, and then when a bunch of MBI decks showed up in states and SCG Balt I felt pretty vindicated haha.
Wren's Run Vanquisher is a must in any elf-deck imo. A 3/3 with deathtouch for 2 is insane.
