It really doesn't fit here between Heartwood and Leaf-Crowned's Kinship ability, but I've always loved Living Terrain from Prophecy. Would Awakener Druid be worth adding here, though?

If you find a way to give any of your creatures deathouch (gorgon flail, basilisk collar, quietus spike, etc), deathtouch + thornbite staff = board wipe.
What about a R/G stompy? I tried building a Stompy deck based on the lessons I learned here, and have every creature in it be R/G. Lemme know what you think: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=174386
Nameless One can be lots of fun here.
Elvish Promenade could be helpful here.
Joraga Treespeaker is only decent in standard, and in casual, there are way better options, like Priest of Titania or Elvish Guidance, or even more archdruids. I would agree that you could lose 4-6 forests and still be running fine. Instead of elvish visionary, I'd go with infiltration lens--it's a two-card draw most turns, and you just lose a 1/1 token. If you are using the fogs often, I'd keep them in. Instead of Overwhelming Stampede or Overrun, taunting elf is definitely the way to go. Trample won't matter when he has no creatures to block you with. Also, he's great for pumping with Immaculate Magistrate to destroy their field. Timberwatch elf and wirewood pride are good additions here, especially when you drop an Elvish promenade. Also maybe Wirewood Symbiote, who can return an elf that is going to die to your hand, and let you untap the Magistrate or Archrdruid or whatever. Lastly, make sure you abuse the Magistrate/Warcaller combo--it's just beautiful. :-)
Hmmm...I think Wards should be allowed free to berate me for that one. Wow. Pretty sweet combo, though, eh? Found out there was a similar combo previously With Jedit Ojanen of Efrava, but I like mine better, just because it does exponentially more damage every turn (so, more infinity than other infinity combos?), and also puts out exponentially more tokens.
Protection means it cannot be Damaged, Enchanted, Blocked, or Targeted (D-E-B-T is a nice way to remember it). Overrun does not target, neither does Wren's Run for deathtouch or Beastmaster. All three are what is called global effects. If you were using something like Blanchwood Armor or Primal Bellow, protection would keep you from using those on the protected creature. If the card does not say target, than it doesn't target it.
ssaaaaaaaddd panda.
I've always wondered...does it saw bones, or is it a saw made out of bones? I'm pretty sure the answer is "Yes."
I've been trying to decide if I should add a puresteel paladin, or another Bone Saw...
Why no Obelisk of Alara?
Seems like the Into the Fray-War's Toll-Fog/Holy Day combo could be accomplished by just making this U/G and using Sleep. I had never thought of trying to tap out all their stuff before playing War-Pride, though--might have to find a way to work him into my exalted deck.
This deck I trolled--I mean, made--a few months ago is very relevant to this conversation: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=160754
I would consider some Lux Cannons here.
If you have stuff that pumps your creatures, so you can sac one of them and get a bunch of 1/1s, Mercy killing is good. If you also have a lot of stuff that buffs off of "each Elf in play," then Mercy Killing is brilliant.
Desperate is strictly better than Pyretic, simply because if you have two of them in your hand, you can splice one of them onto the other, and then play it again next turn.
True, but with that mana curve and only a little card draw, I would have figured there'd be a decent amount of free mana floating around. That does make a little more sense, though, as he's usually more of a mana-ramp-deck kinda guy.
I know you already have three tribes going here, but some cleric buff stuff might be good--I'm particularly thinking Edgewalker to make Kaalia cheaper, but also maybe Misery Charm if you send her to your graveyard instead of the command zone.
Mercy Killing--kill their creatures, but it still helps Priest tap for lots of mana. Also maybe wellwisher over beacon for lifegain, simply because it'll draw burn/destroy spells out of their hand, giving them less to tank your piper with. Worldly tutor to search out either piper or progenitus. Also maybe canopy cover for the piper's protection.
