Returning the tapped land makes it a 1cmc manafix, which is good in this deck with only one other turn 1 tactic. I do agree on Knight Exemplar, he's gone down a good bit now, too, less than $2 a pop.

Borderposts are great one drops in dual colored decks, especially when you don't feel like springing for expensive lands. Having one basically guarantees your ability to drop any card that costs GW on turn two, which is very important in decks like this.

Wirewood Lodge would be good here. With Symbiote in the sideboard, it's good to add creatures with "comes into play" abilities, like Elvish VIsionary or Sylvan Ranger.

the answer to your question is because this deck was never meant to be taken seriously. It will actually win sometimes, but I usually just play it during super competitive matches to be funny. It is in these white and blue holographic dragon deck sleeves.

thrumming stone and some search to pull it out is game over every time.

Pretty interesting deck. This has me wondering whether the Past/SS combo might make for a cool new dragon storm build.

With Elf decks, you'll quickly find 22 lands to be a few excessive--I'd bet this would run safely with 18, and could probably even drop down a few more. There are a lot of directions you could take this deck--draw/drop (Infiltration Lens + Taunting Elf, Genesis Wave)
token generators (Devoted Druid + Presence of Gond is cool, infinite elves with Coat of Arms)
huge elves (Joraga Warcaller + Immaculate Magistrate)
or one of my favorites, sneak bombs (attack with everything, drop a wirewood pride on an unblocked elf).
Mercy killing is great for removal or targeting one of your own creatures, and also makes your heedless one huge.

If you want to see what this can look like, my elf deck is here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=103549 "Oh, no, not the elf deck!" is exactly what people I play with say when I whip it out.

If you go that route, I'd say Ezuri > Overrun. However, another great option is taunting elf--you basically don't need overrun in that case. Also, infiltration lens + taunting elf is all the card draw you need.

I'd also recommend Immaculate Magistrate--it'll make any of your creatures a threat, but combo'd with Joraga Warcaller, it ends games. It is better than Emrakul here, imo.

Lastly, I'd agree with all the people saying Wirewood Lodge. It makes all of your elves that tap literally twice as deadly.

For some other ideas, check out my elf deck @ http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=103549

If you want some ridiculous mana with Arbor Elf, go with Elvish Guidance instead. Drops turn two with an arbor elf, and you're not hurting for mana for the rest of the game.

I'd sideboard 4x Blood Moon and 4x Goblin Kings. If they're not running counterspells, it shuts them down and makes all your creatures unblockable.

Recruiter is awesome--I run a Wort, Boggart Auntie EDH deck that, once I get a recruiter, has never lost.

With GA & TM in there, I might throw Pentavus in there, gives you plenty of tokens to sac to untap Grimgrin.

It generally runs pretty well. For I have 10 dragons that are 6 or 7 mana, and twelve cards that can help me ramp to them on turn 4/5 (Ritual, Song, Shaman, and Lens). This deck drops threats with a quickness.

Pretty solid deck. I'd think about darksteel plate with all the mass destruction, it could protect a sun titan or lawkeeper with lots of counters. I'd also maybe think about Gideon's Avenger over the Invisible stalker; the stalker will still get destroyed by DR and DoJ, because they don't target him. Overall, I'd love to see how this runs.

I love that this deck costs about as much as one Gaea's Cradle, lol.

So without a Giant or Quest, all of the equipment in this deck become useless, outside of equipping the Lord or Automaton...for me personally, it seems too risky. I'd at least add some some search to pull out the giant/quest to make this more reliable.

Pretty sweet deck here. Fortune Thief is great with Form of the Dragon. I'm also a big proponent of Dragonspeaker Shamans. Also, Crucible of Fire is awesome. Taurean Mauler is a cheaty dragon, too. If you have any suggestions for mine (http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=231844), lemme know.

I'd up the count on Dragonspeaker Shamans to x4. I've never really been in a situation with my Mono-Red Dragon deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=231844 ) where I didn't want one. I think with two more of those, and the amount of mana-generating spells, you could take it down to 24 lands. Otherwise, this is a really sweet, original deck!
