Deck discussion for ELF EDH DECK

With 37 creatures, Lurking Predators could easily put 2-3 creatures into play per round. Seriously, in this deck it would be stupidly good.

All those green mana symbols are going to generate a ton of mana with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. I'm also a firm believer every deck should run a Reliquary Tower. If you're not drawing enough cards to need one then you're not drawing enough :) Wirewood Lodge is a good way to untap elves with a strong tap ability, too.

Even if you add Nykthos and Reliquary Tower and Wirewood Lodge, that's only four non-basics in the whole deck, which means its worth looking at Primal Order. It can flat out end people. I dropped it in turn nine in a four player game the other night, and the other three people each had no less than 8 non-basics out. It did 16 damage to two people and 8 to the third before someone removed it. And that's far from the most damage I've seen it do.

Hall of Gemstone can be equally effective. For starters it basically makes your spells uncounterable since blue mages can't make blue mana on your turn. Beyond that though it can completely hamstring three-color decks, and it hurts two-color decks pretty bad, too. They have to pick one color spell to cast, which means no multi-color spells, including their commander. It's brutal.

Steely Resolve would give a lot of your dudes shroud. Not sure I'd run it myself since you've got Asceticism but it's worth a ponder.

Unless you see a lot of mono-green decks Vernal Bloom is gonna help you a lot more than everyone else.
