If you were going to drop the Elites, I'm a fan of Drove of Elves with all of the tokens. Just a thought. :)

Dude. I love the idea for this deck. I don't know enough to comment on effectiveness but it looks pretty darn competent. Either kudos for using my favorite block. I'm trying to find a way to use Masumaro to kick some butt., myself.
Man. It looks like someone taught you how to set up your mana curve. Whoever did that is a badass because this deck pwns my face.
I really like this deck. I love Kamigawa and I have a lot of Samurai as well. I never realized how good the black Samurai could be. All in all, I quite like it.
My brother gave me a bunch of his cards after he quit playing, so I could start. I wanted to make him a deck with some of his old stuff as a gift. I had no idea what to do with two Call to the Graves. I do now. :D Good work, mate.
I'm all for Kentaro. He's in my Samurai deck. I think he's worth it just to unify the mana useage. It's helped me out in a bind. Just my two cents. :D
I love this deck.I themed my deck after Mr. Kurosawa as well. As far as Sensei vs. Konda goes, I'd just suggest throwing in Konda on the side-board for playability; what with how much ass he kicks and all. The Sensei is a beast with his Bushido counters, though. I almost think he'd make a better replacement than Kentaro, personally. All in all, great work. :D
Kitsune Dawnblades are awfully expensive. If you wanted to lighten up your mana curve a bit, I'd suggest putting in (x2-3) Devoted Retainers. They're good, first turn defenders. Also; Bushi Tenderfoot can be flipped into a rather strong Legendary. Seeing as you have so much equipment, you might want to try using him and scoring his flip-circumstance early. Otherwise, beware the Legendary rule and I think you'll kick a great deal of ass.
I love this deck. Combo badassery FTW.
I'm newish to serious deck-building myself but all I can say is -- Any deck that AIMS to get rid of Planeswalkers has my support. Good luck, mate. :D Also; I'm looking to make an Elf deck as well and it looks like the (4x) Fauna Shaman's is a definite good move. I plan on putting them in my deck as well. I think I'm going to dig up some Elvish Champion's as well, just because I like them but they have a newer counterpart that's stronger -- although I don't recall what they are called.
Isao FTW. He's such a beast. Good work, mate. I like the deck. Even without the red samoorye.
I REALLY like this deck. It's been the inspiration for the deck I'm building. Currently I'm having troubles fighting a couple of different kinds of decks, but ultimately I'm doing very well with a very similar build. All in all, I say it's a job extremely well done.
