Deck Description

This is one of my homemade decks when I was just starting out. I am looking for ways to keep the theme, but slim it down (a lot). Any comments would help.

Deck discussion for Rampaging Elephants

How many cards do want in your deck? I know you would like to slim it, but you want the standard 60 cards? And do only want to use the cards on your deck list. Alot of the one of's won't work because it may not impact the game when used.

60 is not necessarily the magic # for me. I just want this deck to be viable. In it's current incarnation that isn't happening. I would like to stick with this card list if possible. As a start I'd like to trim to 80 or so and then tinker from there.

Okay, I've trimmed from 105 to 80. Most of those decisions were easy. Just dropped the red and associated cards. I also lost the Farseek (Only had 1 anyway), Venom and Ferocity. Dropped the Mana Cyclix (not really necessary in a two color deck - Plus they cost 1 to get one - Darksteel ingot is better). Anyway now I could use some advice on making this a more playable deck using the cards available in the list - What to get rid of. Some I have more copies of - some I don't so fire away and I'll respond as necessary.

Let start from the top then
Drop 1 wooden sphere, 4 Vintara elephant, 1carapace, 1 spidersilk armor, 1 lashknife, 1 holy strength, 1 mobilize, 1 vitalize, 2 gerrards command, 1 lull, 3 rampant elephant, 1 muzzle, 1 rightousness, 1 monstrous growth
Add 2 rogue elephants, 3 trained armodon, 3 armadillo cloak, 1 vigorous charge, 1 naturalize, 1 wax/wane, 2 seal of strength, 1 fertile ground
Now if you remove just the top cards you will have exactly 60 cards, adding the bottom cards would give you 73 cards basically shaving 7 cards. I don't know what cards you might have so I'm just suggesting multiples of what you have listed.
Hope this helps somewhat. Just my 2 cents.

I appreciate the feedback. I'll check my available card list when I get home to check for duplicates you suggested. It may be up to a week before I can get back here (It's finals week in my program).

Okay, I went through and eliminated most (not all) of the suggested cards and put a few into my sideboard. I will now go through my available card list and see if I can locate the duplicates suggested and ponder their inclusion.

Okay, tweaked once again to increase mana. This seems to be a more workable deck than previously. thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
