Deck Description

This is an elf deck I've been playing for a long time, lately I've been adding Nissa Revane and Nissa's Chosen. I feel like everything is connected in this deck, and even if something is destroyed or countered, it's not a big loss. The power of many versus the power of a few.

How to Play

In your best first hand you would have a Forest, a Llanowar elf and an Elvish Archdruid. I feel like you won't care about mana any more.
Play Bramblewood Paragon as soon as you can, cause all the following warriors will get a +1/+1 COUNTER. (I capitalize counter because it's really helpful with Joraga Warcaller.)
Now that that you have played many small elves, it's time to do a little Elvish Promenade. Double the number of elves you have, and give'em a +1/+1 and trample because of the Bramblewood Paragon and another +1/+1 because of Elvish Archdruid. Next turn tap the Elvish Archdruid and kick Joraga Warcaller as many times as you want. Even if you don't kick it many times, you can always improve it using Immaculate Magistrate's ability.
Win tons of life with Wellwisher and later with Nissa.
I love the heedless one because she gets so big so fast.
Take all damage you need to take on the firsts turns, I mean, don't block with your Llanowar Elf on the first turn if they are attacking for 1 damage (for example). It will just break your initial combos and slow you, and you can take your revenge later.

Sideboard:
I love Thornweald Archers as much as my opponents hate them. It's an cheap pain in the butt for huge flying creatures.
Timberwatch Elf and Wirewood Pride is like saying ''surprise!'' when you attack or block. They are pretty annoying but not indispensable.

Wirewood Lodge helps me to boost boosters tapping them twice in a turn or winning doubling the life I win with the wellwishers, but I wouldn't play them on the first turn (colorless mana).

Doubts:
I like Heritage Druid because it's pretty quick mana, but I'm not sure if I should replace it for Elvish Mystic.
I don't know if I should add Thornweald Archer instead of Wren's Run Vanquisher to the main deck.
