This deck has evolved from a slow elf ramp deck that didn't quite know what it was doing into an amazing legacy playable elf deck. I am open to the suggestions of the MTG Vault community and hope to get more feedback. Thanks.

You've created something good here, Holmes. Not only have you pieced together a broad array of *Green* cards, it feels symbiotic, and heck...it's even affordable to most ! Kudos, man. Kudos. Now I know leveler's are above average, but you'd might consider Llanowar Elves, insted :) Other than that - good job.

Hey thanks man i have been tweeking this deck for a while. As for the Llanowar Elves i like the fact that Joraga can tap to level himself up and in 5 turns you can use all your elves to pump up the Warcaller. Thanks for the comment though any other suggestions?
Hmm... The only thing I can think of, is Wirewood Lodge - it works well with Immaculate Magistrate, Archdruid, Arbor Elf etc. You can even save some of your creatures, while in combat - just untap your attacking elf before it recieves damage :)
Note: i am a Tournament judge and lodge does not work that way it gives them vigilance basically yes but does not remove them from combat, they still give and receive combat damage as usual same goes with first strike.
Hey man, thanks for clearing that up ! I'll have to give that message to one of my friends - He claims that it saves his creatures, or deny any combat damage from my part. So very glad to hear that, 7765 :)
My advice would be to make this modern legal. You only have a few things that are not, which dont help all that much towards being usable in other formats. Vanguard, heedless and guidance can easily be replaced by 4 llanowars. The 2 spots used by promenade might serve you best with overwhelming stampede. Harmonize could be replaced by lead the stampede. Garruk Wildspeaker is pretty strong with elves for his +3+3 trample on his 2nd turn, although a bit slow.
No, Just No. Modern Really? This is a Legacy deck dude can't you see that? and lead the stampede and harmonize one out weighs the other obviously harmonize is better it has more effective card draw than some blue cards.
elves are terrible in legacy period. Also real legacy decks DO NOT run Harmonize they run glimpse into nature it is 20x better than Harmonize in this deck. Also the fact that i see no heritage druid scares me that is one of the most important cards in the deck. Also elvish visionary is a must. Priest of Titania either. he is litterly missing the most important cards in the deck. note to mention llanwar elves nettle sentinal green suns zenith (plus somthing to ramp into i;e regal force emrakul) wirewood symbiote. AND NO GAEA'S cradle???!!! whoever made this deck must not be aware of the legacy metagame because this deck would get destroyed by teir 1 legacy decks
Thank you Natzito for making it clear for our delusionnal friend manofwar51 : Elves are not competitive in legacy. And this is horrible even if it were standard legal. To manofwar51 : Yes i can see this is legacy. This is the easy part. I was saying this could in no way be good for legacy, so why not drop a notch and switch to modern, since there are not that many legacy only cards in there. And the one he picked are not even the 'proper' ones (see Natzito's reply) Wish my local meta contained that many horrible decks.
To fredroy50: When was the last time you saw sunlight? or got off your moms couch for that matter? and you might as well get out of that basement with no windows just cold dark concrete walls and you live off of twinkies and soda surrounded by magic cards. long story short GET A LIFE!
Wow thats cold...
calm down...
Awesome I really think this could get somewhere.
good deck dude I like it.
Cool elf deck, check out mine if u have the chance. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=326163
cool deck I NEED SINGLETONS for this teamwork Deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=333701
Cool i like elves!
I like how this deck has the potential to bring out emurakul on turn 4-5. lol talk about Awesomeness!
I Agree This Deck is pure Awesome!
Duuuuuuuude! When someone drops an Emurakul you can only pack up your cards and walk away that's the best play emurakul is immune to most removal
mindbreak trap gooday sir
are you slow? look at this deck you aren't casting three spells before you cast emurakul. look at the deck first before you try and make some smart ass comment.
YES manofwar51 yes!
only a few cards that I would worry about with it. either mindbreak trap, and yes Iknow it is a tad slow for when you could get the eldrazi out, and the other is brittle effigy. also, maybe terminus, since it niether targets, nor destroys anything, it wouldn't trigger emrakul's abilities, and it gets around the protection.
i was just naming a card that could beat emrakul i was not suggesting a card for this deck. I was merly naming a card that could deal with emrakul and dont forget you can hardcast mindbreak trap
/\ Above I agree you can hard cast it! and that is a problem.
i was just naming a card that can deal with emrakul nothing more nothing less...
Again are you Slow? mindbreak traps mana cost is way to high to hard cast in this format you would have to relay on it's random ass 0 cost ability that does not ever work unless your playing against a dragonstrom deck.
alright man chill and stop using "slow" as an insult thats just really offensive there is nothing wrong with being "slow", anyways I actually play legacy and mindbreak trap is actually ran in the sideboard to deal with decks that combo into emrakul. And Again all i was doing was naming a card that deals with emrakul also the 0 cost ability works very well against ANT and goblins and elves. The only problem is this elves is not even close to being a t1 deck there is not heritage druid, presit of titania, glimpse into nature, gaea's cradle, heritage druid, llanwar elves, and the sideboard does not make any sense in the legacy meta. Unfortunatly this deck isnt even close to being a t1legacy deck, even an actual legacy elf deck ran the right way is not t1 at all elves get raped in legacy they have no chance against MUD, threshold, goblins, countertop, BUG, stoneblade etc.
I would like to hear your oppinion on my Elf deck - "Doubling Elves" I'm trying to work Priest of Titania into it, but can't really figure out, what to remove. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=300537 (I don't have Elvish Archdruids - sold my PS :-P )
Please check out my deck! http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=337997
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=338468 this deck is a solid turn 2-3 winner
Very good deck that has a lot of potential though I think you should keep elvish champion in the deck and not in the sideboard. But overall great :D.
elvish champion is weak compared to a lot of other elf pump like Elvish Archdruid, Imperious Perfect, Joraga Warcaller. yeah those are a lot better than champion.
I don't understand the massive number of likes. This deck still needs a LOT more fixes. I see way too much crap to even bother giving advice, and I don't have time right now unfortunately, but seriously, I don't see this going even 3-2 at FMN. You need to sort your crap out.
To be a bit more specific and add on a bit to my previous unnecessarily harsh comment, I really doubt you play test enough with this deck, and I have a LOT of feedback to offer. First off, I actually DO know I will get a l of names slightly wrong, I don't have the time to look up the complete accurate spelling for each card.. First, cut the treespeakers. They appear good at first, but after a while you may come to realize you could spend that 11 mana on 4 priest of titanias and 1 archdruid. Also, your one short of a play set. You do realize that elvish archdruid is now considered one of the best elves for any type of elf deck and a staple in legacy elves, right? You need 4. And I would possibly consider more promenades, because they can build up an army that will easily overcome any deck that doesn't have mass board wipe. I myself actually main decked creeping renaissance and dealt of 16 million points of damage through coat of arms, warcallers, and elvish promenades. You also need priests. Priest of titania is another big part of elf ramp decks, and can empty your hand by the fourth or fifth turn. Another reason you can easily get rid of the Treespeakers. Other really good elf ramp cards are elvish spirit guide and heritage druid. A good aggressive elf is nettle sentinel. Wellwisher is fun lifegain. Something you REALLY should consider though is wirewood symbiote and quiron ranger which are ridiculously good for elf ramp decks. Oh, and if you have the money, definitely replace the harmonizes with glimpse of natures. And for gods sake, if you don't get 4 copies of llanowar elves I will throw my computer out the window.
Nice deck.Check out mine here. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=339544
this deck is getting better ;)
