That's an awesome elf deck. I could potentially learn a lot from you on use of elves, I think, so I'd like to know what you think of this deck I've been working on. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=151019 Like it says on that page, any and all input is appreciated.

Yes, four million. I was the poor sucker sitting across the table from that. If events hadn't led to the match ending early, he'd have gone a lot higher than that in the next turn. Take it from me: this deck is fairly fast, highly efficient, and absurdly potent once it really gets going.
Even one creature with Devour in this deck would be hellishly powerful. A great deck for whenever you get to thinking " A rediculuosly huge army sounds like just what I need right now."
Wall of Denial would be fun to watch opponents try to get past. This deck is a monumental tribute to the power of annoyance as it is, though, so congratulations on that.
Golem Artisan or Darksteel Juggernaut could both be quite a powerup here. I've never seen so many artifacts in one deck before. Cool.
That looks like a fantastic deck to me. Still, I kept thinking "Indomitable Archangel could be one heck of a defense for this deck, since it has Metalcraft-induced Shroud for all your artifacts." I still think that, although your deck certainly appears strong enough as it is.
Thanks. Kaervek's Torch sounds like a decent option if I'm able to find one.
I might put Agent of Masks in, if I find one, and the others are also pretty good suggestions, though I'm saving my Corrupt for a different deck. Thanks for your input, though.
Thanks for the idea, but are you sure it would be all that strong outside of mono-white decks? That's one of the main things that has held me back from putting in Armored Ascension so far, so if I can be sure it's not going to cause problems, I'll try it.
It's coming through more consistently with each revision, and should continue to improve as I get more cards, but since my first deck was all M11 cards, I don't own enough of each card yet. As I find more cards and gain more experience in deck building, hopefully it should keep evolving. On that note, what would you suggest for improving my chances of beating an opponent who generally gets to over 100 life within seven turns? I'm still open to suggestions.
He's right about the 1-ofs. Unless you like randomness in your deck, it does tend to leave you in the lurch at bad times to have a lot of single cards. At least that's what it did to me.
Pretty vicious-looking deck. Have you thought about adding Vampire Nighthawk or Painful Quandary? Between those two cards, your opponent would have to give up at least one thing per turn.
At ths rate, you'll be nigh invincible in a month. I have to get my hands on a Quietus Spike for some deck self-defense.
Really, Serra Ascendant would just be obscenely powerful in your deck. The way you gain life, it would be a 6/6 Flying Lifelink for 1 all the time.
I was wondering pretty much the same thing myself, actually. This was my first successful serious attempt to make a working deck, and it's been around for, I think, a month or two. Personally, I feel that much of the traffic came from Shadowshun's "deck" called "!ATTENTIONEVERYONE!" I posted this there and got more suggestions and comments in the next few days than I had in the past few weeks. They come up with some really good suggestions there. About taking a look at your deck; sure, why not? If I can think of anything that might help in some way, I'd be glad to let you know.
I'd like to thank everyone here who was kind enough to offer their advice and thoughts about my deck over the past days. Because of your contributions, I am happy to announce that for the first time, my deck has made it onto the front page of the site! *Celebrates* Once again, thanks to all for their willingness to help myself and others like me, and thanks to Shadowshun for opening this massive group discussion. If all your ideas are this successful, you should maybe get one patented! :)
Thanks for the tip. Tainted Sigil could go really well in this deck, but since I'm not sure how effectively I'd be able to use it with my strategy yet, I'll put it in my sideboard and give some thought to what it would add and what if anything I'd have to do differently in matches to get the most out of it.
All right then. I'll see which of the changes I can afford to make. Right now I'm only listing the cards I own in my deck, but I'll have a few more Serra Ascendant in a couple weeks, plus more Ajani's Pridemates when I can find them. The Null Champion really is something of a placeholder, so adding another Vampire Nighthawk or two should fit right in with my deck's plan once I locate more of those too. Thank you for the input, and looking at my deck I have to think that following your advice ought to make it stronger. And more consistent, which is a problem I've been having lately.
In that case, maybe just go with Pacifism
Painful Quandary might add something here, since it's either your opponent discards a card or takes 5 damage every single time they cast a spell. Arrest and Prison Term might be alternatives to Pacifism. Corrupted Bonds and Ghostly Prison might make them think twice before attacking, and Aura Of Silence makes it harder for opponents to use enchantments.
