Bramble Elemental + Whip Silk = GG for two saprolings. Also, you can make an infinite loop with that combo + Utopia Mycon, sacrificing the saps for the 2 green mana. This can be used for infinite life with soul warden, and if you threw in enchanted evening, infinite destroys.

Mindcrank is ridiculous with bloodchief. Hideous End, also, and maybe sign in blood.
I think it's funny this got pushed to the top, because just yesterday I commented on your comment on your "I'd tap that" deck where you said, "I. Hate. Slivers."
The staff might be good, but it'd only auto equip on the Sparkmage. If he was gonna do that, I'd just say put in more Sharpshooters.
Your answer--Trinket Mage + Lavamancer's Skill.
Was going through old decks I'd commented on, and went to "like" the above comment--wouldn't let me, because I already did 8 months ago, lol.
It'd be fun to make this a legitamate artificer tribal deck.
I really like this, I dig the way you broadened it past just allies...reminds me a little of my elf/wolf/ally deck (which also cheated in some changelings, lol) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=175368. I'm going back and forth on Putrefy vs. Maelstrom Pulse...the main thing is the instant v. sorcery issue. I also really like the idea of Nacatl War-pride in here, but I've been on a bit of a kick with that card lately, anyway. Overall, impressive deck.
Had a friend tinker into a Blightsteel on turn 3 the other day. I Mercy Killing'd it, giving him 11 elves, tapped my wellwisher for 13 life, then dropped a Wirewood Pride on my taunting elf, swung at him for 13, and killed all the elves I just gave him.
You know what is also fun about Mercy Killing? Zap one of their big creatures (say, Blightsteel)--they get 11 elves, but then you tap Magistrate or drop a Pride on your taunting elf, regenerate him with Ezuri, and swing, killing off all the elves you just gave him (after you use them for mana ramps with Priest of Titania into Genesis Wave, of course, lol).
That's true, but who give a daaamn ?
Splashing one color just for a 1/1 first strike is probably not a great idea...you could add watchwolf and tolsmir wolfblood. I also like Mosswort Bridge for playing Howl for free and being able to kick Wolfbriar a lot.
I would definitely take out rot wolf--having 1 creature with infect ends up being a pretty useless card.
Heh, that's in the description, and it's why Coat of Arms is sideboarded. I get bored with infinite combos easily--they're fun sometimes, but they get old. substituting Immaculate Magistrate for the Coat of Arms works for a whole lotta elves, too though.
@ Sapdaddy, do you want to point out to this guy that this deck is standard, or should I? This deck is pretty legit, but I would add more Skinshifters and Dungrove Elders. I'm curious as to what you do when you mana ramp with Caged Sun and Vorinclex (or both?). You might look at some card draw, like maybe infiltration lens, in order to keep your hand full since you'll have plenty of mana to use. Also, love the name. "Wicked wicked." Going for a pretty small niche, there--Junglists who play Magic?
The lightning bolt on her head puts Harry Potter's to shame.
Glare of subdual is really good here. I'd also echo the above comment about 4x Mycoloth. It's ridiculous.
I agree on Watchwolf--I also like Skyshroud Claim/One with Nature to get Howl off quicker, and maybe an overrun. If you get a minute, I'd love to hear your opinion on my elf/wolf/ally deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=175368
for a butt-ton of elves, Presence of Gond on a Devoted Druid + Immaculate Magistrate. Especially with some untaps like Wirewood Pride/Symbiote--gets pretty epic.
Jabari's banners would be nice since each instance of flanking triggers separately--it's fun to throw a nemesis mask on a creature and swing with three instances of flanking (or once in my flanking deck I had 7), giving all your opponents creatures -3/-3 before they even block. If you do, Telim Tor sucks at least a little bit less, lol. If you don't go that route, I do think Claws of Valakut would be a cool addition here. Overall a pretty sweet, original deck. Nicely done.
