Deck discussion for modern tribe elves

I don't want any of what I say to be taken as an insult, I'm just trying to help you with your deck.

There are a lot of problems here that are pretty typical for new players. One of the big mistakes is the mana production you have in here that basically doesn't do anything for you. Your mana curve is pretty low and basically doesn't require any more sources of mana other than the 22 lands you are already running. Once you get out 3 lands, which is easy with 22 in the deck, you will be able to play 80% of the deck and will be fine. Those mana producers are taking up space you need for elf swarm effects which are essential for an elf tribal deck.

Also, you are missing some essential heavy hitters that are basically the reason people play elves. Take a look at this deck, its how I would build the deck you were trying to make. fecundity is the best friend of elf decks as your chimp blockers will be easily replaced and if they nuke the field everything will catch back up for you quickly.

I played Elves back in 2005 and the theme then was ankle bitting swarms. Some key creatures that made my deck then were Taunting Elf, Defiant Elf, Elvish Berserker, Treetop Scout, Timber-watch Elf, Heedless One, Ambush Commander, Elvish Soul-tiller, Elvish Archers, Wire Wood Herald, Well-wisher and Voice of the Woods. If you don't care about having a standard deck, then these may add a ton of fun to the elf experience.
