Deck Description

The deck like all my EDH decks, and all Elf decks in general, revolve around combos, and combos are awesome in multiplayer formats.

Cards that were in Commander, Commander's Arsenal, Commander 2013, or Commander 2014 were given preference to the deck.

How to Play

The deck plays like a regular Elf ball. Dump a lot of creatures onto the battlefield and in return, have a lot of mana to act as a mana sink into Ezuri and X spells.

Combos:

Viridian Joiner/Elvish Archdruid/Priest of Titania + Umbral Mantle = Infinite Mana, Infinite P/T to all creatures.

Devoted Druid + Ivy Lane Denizen + Presence of Gond = Infinite Tokens

Argothian Elder + Wirewood Lodge + Nykthos = Infinite Mana

Shamanic Revelation + Ezuri = life gain (this deck gains so much mana, using Ezuri's trample effect then Shamanic Revelation is pure value, if an infinite token combo just went off and you are fearing board wipe before you can win, use this combo in conjunction with your infinite tokens for four times infinite life.)

Cards that could be included:

Genesis Wave: I liked Genesis Wave because with an infinite mana sink, I could dump all the cards I wanted onto the field and win. The downside was the fact that cards that didnt go to the field went to the graveyard, and I didn't want to risk becoming interrupted and lose to being decked out, also this would probably need a haste outlet and I don't wish to provide my opponents with Concordant Crossroads buff.
I also didn't want to have to fit a slot for Elixir of Immortality.

Gaea's Cradle: This card is a tank, a strictly better Nykthos (you would run both) the downside to this beautiful card is its price tag.

Parallel Lives: This card works so well with the token synergy the deck has. One could argue that because some of my decks combos work of -1/-1 counters, Doubling Season doesn't fit with the deck as well as I'd like and should be cut, but the benefit of DS is much better than the con.

Regal Force: We are already running 2 Regal Force effects, 1 could add the third as a draw spell on a stick for good measure, the reason Regal Force was not included here is because he wasn't in a Commander deck, and has been out of Standard for quite some time. (I know we have cards here that dont fit either Commander deck or recently in Standard, but the vast majority of those cards are in recent Duel Decks, Duel Deck Anthologies, or are cheap commons, hence are easily accessible.)

Glimpse of Nature: A pure value card, but having a sorcery as a one of that doesn't interact with my token schemes just didnt seem worth the hassle at a $30.00 price tag.

Overrun (and similar effects): Ezuri being our general gives us access to nearly an infinite supply of these, however if you are considering a different general, a few of these never hurt nobody (other than your opponent).

*like*
Recently saw an elf deck that (ab)used "Aluren" in combination with ETB effects like "Glimpse of Nature". Basically after playing he searched, and played, half his library at once.
